Official 2022 Congressional Election Results Thread

kentucky blue on cnn lmao.. temporarily tho!

STOP THE COUNT NOW!!!

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Extremely high turnout at A&M on campus precinct, line is crazy and students are mostly liberal looking.

I've flat out said to people IRL that "there's no way Beto is winning", but if he wants to make the result closer, he needs things like this.

It's such a shame that Beto lives in Texas. For all his bombastic flaws, I think he's a genuinely good person and would do an incredible job.

He's a nice guy. Easily passes my "would have a drink with" test.

Really want a bigger chunk in Indiana about now. If the overperformance in Monroe continues, I'm reasonably less scared for Mrvan.

Spartz seems to be running slightly behind Young in IN-05 so far. Young is def gonna NUT.

Spartz also has a local reputation as a dumbass. Source: one of my closest friends is a constituent of hers.

For some reason I kinda assume she was handed the "moderate fiscally conservative suburban woman" label by default. Interesting.

[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

Is there a reason people are suddenly a bit more favorable towards Fetterman? I'd be shocked if he wins.

Philly turnout is at 2018 levels.

That's assuming that they're voting in favor of Democrats at 2018 levels, is it not?

Even if they shift back to 2020 levels or even 5 points less than that that's still 350k votes, it's very hard to offset, especialy given turnout in pittsburgh is also high and Fetterman is almost certain to outperform in West PA due to regionalist.

And I don't think Philly is going to shift that much to the right, Republicans haven't stopped attacking cities.

Looks like the Indiana and Kentucky vote so far is the early vote.

Florida total party ID is R+13 - 42% Republican, 29% Democrat.

I wonder how much this is dragging down Democrats in the overall national vote lol.

This is how you can tell the exit polls are useless. Florida is like 46% republican today.

[Baki]

I'm sensing a vibe shift back towards the democrats.

Yes but it's based on probably faulty data points.

[EastwoodS]

Fox exits have Biden’s approval a bit lower

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

If Fetterman wins, I think it's safe to say debates (at least non-presidential debates) are useless.

Or don’t put a TV “doctor” who appears in those pop up ads you see on websites as your candidate

Oz is or at least was a legitimately good surgeon, which makes his life choices even worse in relative terms.

A Trumpy Ben Carson, if you will.

Carson at least is an idiotic fraud mostly about things unrelated to his medical specialty. Oz sold out at a core-competency level.

Ben Carson moment.

[Kamala's side hoe]

Oz is or at least was a legitimately good surgeon, which makes his life choices even worse in relative terms.

As someone who's had to teach plenty of pre-meds at a nominally high end university, I can't help but view medical doctors as good at learning facts but being eagerly incurious. And surgeons as potentially great medical versions of car mechanics, but not really that different in terms of skill sets beyond their focus. Aka, kinda useless.

I have a sudden urge to arrange an in-person meetup among you, me, and PQG.

[ProgressiveModerate]

Idk if it's just me but Indiana, does the map seem even more polarized than 2020 so far?

I literally was wondering about this while voting, but didn't notice straight away. Republicans are insidious.

[Lief 🗽]

Exit polls for GA and NH should be dropping now…

[wbrocks67]

GA exit poll-
41% college
59% no college

2021 runoff was 38% college, 62% no college

[TwinGeeks99]

Polls have closed in Indiana, Kentucky, Vermont, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia.

[Aurelius]

The moment of truth!

[Yeahsayyeah]

Uncontested House Districts in South Carolina...what year is this, 1824?

[Crumpets]

NBC projections:

GA-SEN Too early to call
IN-SEN Young wins
SC-SEN Scott wins
KY-SEN Too early to call, Paul in the lead
VT-SEN Too early to call, Welch in the lead

[Alben Barkley]

Interesting how they called Tim Scott at poll close but not Rand Paul. If he does mediocre like he did in 2016, then the anti-abortion amendment underperforming him the way it has been could be enough to defeat it.

[LostFellow]

GA exit poll-
41% college
59% no college

2021 runoff was 38% college, 62% no college

Unfortunately in Georgia, a state where college educated whites vote 75-25 R and where the black vote is significantly represented in no college, this doesn't tell much.

Edit: Actually 60-40 R according to exits in 2020. Was still going off knowledge from 2012 ugh. I'd actually lean towards more college being good then in this case.

[Woody]

WOW! Tim Scott projected to win!!

[Skill and Chance]

So it looks like we are heading for a Texas in the 2000's level R win in Florida now?
