And looks like in part because younger voters were likely a part of those Indy voters, like we expected

I love the throwback coalition Fetterman used to win. It makes you wonder if after Trump the GOP will have as much WWC success as people think.

Fetterman is a very different candidate from McGinty.

Big takeaway. Effectively Gerrymander wherever possible!

Force SCOTUS to make it illegal.

After a year of fighting, a bespectacled man in a white shirt stands in front of a big board
We lower our phones as he frantically announces Fetterman won
And just like that, it's over, we tend to our heartbeats, we count our votes
Black and white voters wonder alike if this really means freedom
Not yet
We negotiate the terms of concession
I see Joe Biden smile
We escort their men out of Philly
They stagger home single file
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
There are screams and church bells ringing
And as our fallen foes retreat
I hear the drinking song they're singing
The world turned upside down...

This is pretty cringe but I don't care. I'm over the moon, I could not be happier. What the hell is happening?

Oh I know it's cringe, but I'll drunkenly translate Hamilton songs all night long if I have to. I don't know or care what the hell is happening either, brother. But I love it!

Now is the time to celebrate, if there ever was one. Suit yourselves!

[Schiff for Senate]

Major Milwaukee vote dump cleaves RoJo's lead in twain. 15% remains, just enough to possibly erase the rest and put him away.

Please. Please.

We don't need WI to hold the Senate (considering that now my PA prediction has come to fruition), and I'm not holding my breath on it flipping, though it'd certainly be a welcome addition to our latest Trifecta Blue Wall.

[Gracile]

A technical flip:

[ultraviolet]

Mineral County (95% in)
Lombardo 61-32
Laxalt 60-35
Trump 61-36

Churchill County (91% in)
Lombardo 72-22
Laxalt 72-24
Trump 73-24

Esmeralda County (95% in)
Lombardo 75-14
Laxalt 76-15
Trump 82-15

[Lognog]

Looks like of all people, Lee Zelden was the most effective Republican. Obviously he didn't win his race, but it looks like he turned out a lot of suburban R's in key districts. He may be why democrats lose

[7,052,770]

So all the dooming about Nevada turnout was for nothing?

[Schiff for Senate]

Looks like a 51 D senate is possible now.

Always was. My personal guess coming in was 50-50 D or 51-49 D, but I leaned towards 50-50.

[Old Man Willow]

The GOP ****** this election up by pandering to the religious extremists on abortion. Ironically Mike DeWine, popular because of his "moderate" image, is one of the few Republicans not to be impacted by this even though he perhaps deserves more blame than anyone because that asinine bill he signed produced at least half of the "raped minors denied abortion" headlines that caused this backlash nationwide.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Newsmax concludes its midterm election results. Santorum is given ten seconds to get a last word in. He says the 2024 election started, and it didn't start well for Donald Trump.

[ctherainbow]

Hehehe.  We pulled our in weight here in the Keystone.  2/3rds of Delaware County is still out, as is 1/3rd of Philadelphia, so I feel pretty safe that it's not a premature call.

Now I just need to watch the glorious finale of Cartwrightmentum, and our triumph will be complete.

[Schiff for Senate]

Mineral County (95% in)
Lombardo 61-32
Laxalt 60-35
Trump 61-36

Churchill County (91% in)

Trump 73-24

Esmeralda County (95% in)
Lombardo 75-14
Laxalt 76-15
Trump 82-15

That underperformance in Esmerelda is pretty interesting. Not that it matters - the county has less than a thousand people (so this swing could also just be a fluke, slightly lower GOP turnout than usual, like a handful of GOPers not showing up to vote for some reason, whatever). It's Clark that counts.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

According to Silver Barnes is exactly on the cusp of where he needs to be to eke out a victory. It's still an up-hill battle, but Wisconsin could come down to a recount and 52-48 isn't impossible IMO with the CCM numbers. Likely? No, but possible, which wasn't something I thought I'd be saying at midnight just a week ago.

For the first time in history, the Republican Party has actually overestimated the stupidity of the American public.

I'm legit more excited than I was when Biden won. These results don't make sense, but 2024 might not be a bloodbath. Democracy might actually survive in this country, and we get front row seats to the 2024 GOP primaries. It is a damn good night to be a Democrat.

[soundchaser]

Shouldn't have changed my handle earlier - YOU CAN'T CONDEMN THE CCM!!!!!!!!!!

[wbrocks67]

More Bucks dropped. 92% in now, and Fetterman still up by 5.

This makes me think a ton of Chester vote out has to be VBM. There's no way Oz is doing better in bucks than CHester.

[Gracile]

One thing I've wondered over the past few months is whether changes in party coalitions (where high-propensity voters become more Democratic, and lower-propensity voters become more Republican) will lead to a reversal of conventional presidential and midterm dynamics - making Republicans favored in presidential years and Democrats favored in midterms.
