Official 2022 Congressional Election Results Thread

Lots of mockery of the idea you can extrapolate results from an isolated island territory but I'm with the people of Guam right now and I'm hearing a lot of anger about the "woke agenda" and "Brandonflation"... take that how you will...

I knew we were screwed when I saw the Chamorrx for Biden swag

Some actual results

So apparently Shaheen won Dixville Notch 4 votes to 1, so Hassan is over-performing with 5-0. Seems to confirm that Dems will hold up well in states with white college educated voters like NH. 100% reliable indicator.

Based on the random Twitter reports… which of the big 4 are we feeling best about ?

I just don't understand how the democrats loosing a federal office they've held for almost 30 years isn't a bad sign and indicative of a very republican enviorment. Swings in seats considered safe can be random especially small ones. The texas 27th district had a pretty random swing uncorrelated with the national enviorment, but that doesn't mean if the republicans took the district it would be a catastrophic sign for the democrats.

Honestly, I think accepting the results now is the best way forward. That way you're prepared to recive them when they come and if you turn out to be wrong you just get a pleasant suprise instead of dread.

You've made your opinion known.  No need to keep repeating it.

I think we all know that it's going to be a bad night, it's just that the results for a non-voting delegate in Guam (especially when Democrats did well in other races there) aren't a sign of it.

Pennsylvania seems astoundingly solid, given the horror surrounding it these last two weeks. If the turnout reports in Wisconsin remain true, we might - might - be in for a pleasant dark horse surprise there, too.

I don't see how we can't extrapolate the early NH results into a 303 map not a 242 map its WAVE INSURANCE.

The thread's probably going to end up 500 pages. This will all be in the noise anyway in the long run.

Yep. I also feel comfortable saying that Mastriano has a 0% chance of victory.

With respect, this makes no sense. By this logic you should predict Republicans to win 435 seats so every victory is a pleasant surprise. The point of predictions is not to make you feel warm and fuzzy on election night, the point is to be accurate.

I think that is why most posters are inclined towards pessimism for whoever they support. Especially Dem posters, but also R posters to some degree.

Democrats GAINED a seat in the Guam legislature. It's over.

I just wanna note that pants are, in fact, bad. I don’t care if it’s an ad hominem attack.

It can also be a coping mechanism.

There is reason to doom for Dems. We always do WORSE than the polls show. While Republicans frequently exceed expectations. GOP canidates can blunder all over the place with terrible moral failings and basically admit to things that would be political suicide for Dems - and get away with it.

You have Dem judges making sure Dems play fair - while GOP judges allow Republicans to bulldoze our democracy…shall I go on?

Yes, remember when the Dems underperformed in Georgia last year?
