Official 2022 Congressional Election Results Thread

[Alben Barkley]

There should be some GOP pickups soon. Enough to win the house, although not a wave by any means.

Was it worth debasing yourself for the GOP the way you did in such a cowardly, sniveling way?

Maybe YOU need to do some soul-searching too, my friend.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

NBC Decision Desk says they will NOT be able to call House control tonight.

Did ANYONE expect this going in???

Yes! I’ve been predicting this and posting about it for months, but nobody believed me.
I believe an “accept my accolades” thread will be forthcoming tomorrow….followed shortly by $100 from MM.

Pat Ryan and Joe Morelle opening up leads in NY!!!

[NerdyBohemian]

I thought inflation and the economy was going to dominate this election, even over abortion.  How did you Republicans screw things up so badly?  

I wonder if passing the Inflation Reduction Act helped.

No one except the most inveterate partisan hacks and people with fewer than two brain cells was dumb enough to think the Inflation Creation Act actually did anything to reduce inflation. What tonight means is that abortion and extreme GOP candidates were a far more salient concern than most people realized.

Maybe running a campaign based on yelling about inflation with zero plans to address it, conspiracy theories, obsessing over children’s  genitals and simping for Russia wasn't the winning strategy Republicans thought it would be.

The West Coast is going to be a GOP nightmare, isn't it?

Yes.

*takes a huge whiff of hopium* Incoming Representative Jay F. Chen? #smallbusinessowner #veteran #chaiwaneseamericanrepresentation #hopium

Still opportunities for a good R surge in CA and NV, that is where it looked the strongest anyways so lets see...
Otherwise an obviously unexpectedly good night for Ds.

Nothing will look like a R surge after what happened in Florida... but *takes another whiff of hopium* hopefully CCM still pulls through after all the mail ballots from all the Ates and Tiyos and Pablos and Yoselins from the Culinary Union are counted?

My perception and analysis is that Democrats are always pre-maturely electulating on social media over turnout tidbits and such for hours on end and then Republican game show hosts with forty ex-wives and a felony history win anyway.  Today they were all on the edge of the cliff getting ready to haunt Susan Sarandon in the afterlife and therefore the Democrats did fairly well.  Maybe we should just ask Fred across the street what he thinks about the big election rather than read the entrails of farm animals with a bunch of blue-checks who are just getting out of the behavioral health unit they checked into when Elon bought Twitter.

Am at least 20 pages behind atm, this post was too good not to quote for posterity.

If RonJon wins, it's because apparently Milwaukee cast 40K FEWER votes than in 2018...

Dane has to continue being basically perfect if this becomes a trend.

Low turnout? Or simply more people leaving the city or state?

GA goes to a runoff. I still favor Walker in it as of now.

Wayne should really never change. The home of Detroit is literally at 8% reporting right now.

Who do you think will win the House?

[jojoju1998]

Kermit Jones is still leading.....

[Mr. Illini]

Wow the Illinois gerrymander is looking absolutely BEAUTIFUL tonight!

[Schiff for Senate]

So uh, what's the over-under on Ken Calvert coming back from being 13 points behind?

Calvert's been in Congress for 30 years. He's a very dirty guy - just see his Wikipedia page.
I'd just love for him to lose.
He can be the GOP version of Collin Peterson if he does - a 30-year incumbent who lost reelection.

But Guam...

Odds of Democrats keeping the House? CNN is assuming Republicans take it

5%

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

!!! !!! !!!

We should all know Erie County, PA -- the northernmost county in the state and a recent swing county (though a long-standing Democratic stronghold until 2016); it's reporting in at 94%.  

Fetterman leads here 53-44.  Biden won here 50-49 in 2020.  

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

If Democrats keep the House, I'll switch to a red avatar. That's the bet.

My subconscious must be an election predictions genius, I had a dream where this happened and one that called Joe Cunningham winning in 2018.

[xavier110]

A reminder that in AZ the outstanding vote heavily favors the GOP and it will be close in the end. I'd still rather be in Kelly's shoes, but it's really hard to analyze much, especially with how large the counties are.

I think it's Hobbs that's the tossup. Kelly is in much better shape than Biden was at this point in the night in Arizona, at least from what I understand. I'm not too worried about him.

Agreed, Hobbs will be 50/50

The Republicans probably still have the edge.

But Lurker is a Democrat who LARPed as a Republican because he claimed he feared what would happen to him if he dared show signs of disagreeing with his new overlords who he repeatedly predicted would win in a landslide. THAT is clearly not happening. His dooming has been exposed for the joke it was, and he should be hit as hard by reality tonight as the Republican Party is.

[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

I'm sorry for turning full doomer, but honestly I got way too caught up will the all the pre-election stuff from reputable people like Wasserman and Rastlon.

[oldtimer]

The Needle now at 224-211. What a trend with more to come!

What to expect when the GCB looks like around D+1 so far ?

[wbrocks67]

Also, RE: NY - Not sure if NY is still suffering from the same issues, but they took *forever* to count the final mail-ins in the NY-19 and NY-22 specials in August. Ryan was up by 2% the night of the election. His final margin ended up being 4% when everything was counted. So not sure if they're still following the same sluggish final VBM count there.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

I bet the calls to cut Social Security helped Dems also.

[NewYorkExpress]

CNN apparently called RI-2 for Seth Magziner and KS-3 for Sharice Davids, both key holds for Democrats.
