Official 2022 Congressional Election Results Thread

Spanberger is finished…

Oh good, she's a lock to win then!

[Lief 🗽]

NEARLY ALL of the remaining vote in VA-07 is from election day from PWC or early vote. Spanberger is favored.

Miami-Dade is ground zero for what happens when disinformation campaigns are allowed to materialize among racial minorities without any pushback, the alt-right media and the proud boys effectively taking control of the Miami-Dade GOP is literally a massive red flag for anyone who values democracy and civil politics.

Cope and seethe!

How the Proud Boys Gripped the Miami-Dade Republican Party

3 ex-Proud Boys hired as Miami-Dade poll workers. Insurrection indictment costs 1 the job

As usual, the facts aren't on your side.

That state is a literal meme.

Budd: 1,145,289 47.8%

I think the whole "demographics are destiny" narrative is being destroyed in real time. DeSantis and Rubio are tearing it up with Latinos, who were supposed to guarantee a "permanent Democratic majority" circa 2012. Meanwhile Laura Kelly may well win in lily white Kansas, and Maggie Hassan is clearly winning in also lily white New Hampshire.

Good for racial depolarization, I guess?

State is a different world than federal on these things so far...

That’s right, because the only way racial minorities can support the GOP is DISINFORMATION. They belong to US!

[Panda Express]

If Dems hold the trifecta, not only should relations with Cuba be normalized, but they should also elevate Cuba to #1 "best friend" status

[wbrocks67]

Beasley losing by 2.8 would not be bad at all (NYT estimate right now). Only 1.5 behind Biden.

NEARLY ALL of the remaining vote in VA-07 is from election day from PWC or early vote. Spanberger is favored.

MY QUEEN IS ALIVE!

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I don't know who it's going to ultimately win, but 1 thing is already clear about this election

Biden just does not seem to be the kind of drag on his party that Trump or Obama was

Sure, some voter may not care for the man or his policies, but that is clearly not stopping them from still voting for the Dem in this election. With Obama and trumps the hate for them was so strong at the time that there was no way that thier part could avoid taking massive losses

He's a drag for a different reason. Biden is disliked by the opposing side more than Obama ever was.

No he is not. The Republican stereotype of Biden is a doddering old man with wicked advisors, like King Lear. It's not a flattering image, but it is a sympathetic one. The Republican stereotype of Obama was Muslim Satan.

The new divide is between white college educated and non college educated.

Must we debate this in the results thread?

[UncleSam]

If there were a state comprised solely of Miami, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, DeSantis may well end up winning it tonight.

Crazy how FL has just completely left the realm of competitiveness.

Spanberger is finished…

SPAMBURGER can defend the 303 map its called WAVE INSURANCE

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

NYT is currently rating VA-07 as Lean D

[LimoLiberal]

Spanberger is almost certainly going to win. Down by 7,500 with none of the Prince William County absentee in, which netted McAuliffe ~11,000 votes in VA-07. No other sources of vote for Vega left, really.

Thought that race was going to be sneaky close - guess wrong

Well it's also what happens when $$$ is put behind these races. Obviously there was a ton of focus on NH (and KS). This is basically what also happens when there is no effort put behind a state's candidates. And honestly, it was probably the right call. I don't think any investment would've made a meaningful change in FL at this point.

[oldtimer]

If Spanberger pulls it out, it's a pretty good upset compared to expectations mid-day, right?

It would be in line with special elections showing Republicans losing the White vote while winning the Minority vote.

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

Well Reuters has Vega up by 3 with 99% counted so clearly someone is getting it wrong

It's not 99%

Spanberger is finished…
