2022 US midterms election watch party/thread

[IronWing]

I haven’t seen which counties have reported yet. Pima, Santa Cruz, and maybe Yavapai should be strong for Hobbs and Maricopa okay for Hobbs. Every other county will be for Lake. Rural Arizona is owned by the wackjob right.

Also, there are some astonishingly bad propositions on the ballot in Arizona this year: three designed to destroy the proposition system and one to make voting by mail much more difficult.

 

[esquared]

Whoa Hobbs with a 15% lead

Yeah, remember Kari lake said if she doesn't win, it's fraudulent.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Fucking Nike asshole has Oregon 0.3 points from electing a GOP governor

 

[SteveGrabowski]

But then you have that other bimbo Sinema to worry about.

Better than both. Sinema is less shitty than Manchin.

 

[eelw]

A gain to 51 from 50 would be huge to keep Manchin from controlling the senate.

Well maintaining majority more important than nullifying the DINOs. Who knows, if that independent wins, he will vote for sensible bills

 

[13Gigatons]

Both parties suck, they are wholly owned by whatever corporations fund their campaign.

 

[Indus]

You can always blow 13 gigatons in Russia and then get one of the parties to move there.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

GOP voters always say that shit and then reliably vote a straight ticket

 

[Franz316]

There was definitely a shot fired from Tallahassee to Mar a Lago tonight seeing how Florida went. That war is going to be glorious to watch. Add in Dumpty's other failing so far tonight and we'll be seeing GQP's falling on their knees to DeSantis soon enough.

 

[Tsinni Dave]

This is the most mystifying race of all to me. Warnock should win by twenty or thirty points. Walker is one of the most unqualified candidates ever in a Senate race. And the evangelicals are rallying to him, even after all the lies and contradictions, instead of Warnock, who is a pastor, for crying out loud. Just insane, and a very scary indicator of what politics is coming to.

Hardcore evangelicals are doomsday cultists wrapped in a dubious christian veil. With a misogeny and authoritarian kink. Not really surprising.

I posted about Minnesota’s 2nd District race recently, and not much has changed there, but there is one thing I want to point out — at 29 percent reporting, 3 percent of the vote is going to Legal Marijuana Now Party candidate Paula Overby.

Paula Overby is dead. After her death on October 5, conservative groups continued to urge voters to cast a ballot for her anyway “in loving memory“. The last Legal Marijuana Now party candidate in this district also died before the election. But the late Adam Weeks got 6 percent of the vote in this district in 2020 anyway.

Amazingly, it’s not the unfortunate habit of dying before the election that makes the Legal Marijuana Now candidates kind of sketchy.

Weeks was one the members of two different marijuana legalization parties implicated in GOP plans to split the vote in several races in 2020.

Before he declared his candidacy, Weeks had posted pro-Trump posts on Facebook, as well as posts supporting other Republican candidates — only to take them down later.



What the fuck????

At this point, you either know to vote party line Democrat, or you don't. I don't even read candidate names.

 

[gothuevos]

DeSantis adding to his clout with the base with how he strongmanned 3 new districts for them to win.

 

[gothuevos]

Kornacki projecting 219-217 GOP control....+/- 13. LOL

Is RW media losing its mind yet?

 

[K1052]

A ten seat GOP house majority will be a clown factory of ungovernable chaos.

 

[eelw]

Okay scratch the independent candidate. Losing badly.

They're white supremacists wrapped in a cultist veil.

 

[hal2kilo]

Red wave my ass. Possible retention of the HOR by the Dems. My, my. Oh, the hand wringing by the Trump fans. It's going to be March probably before we find out. California, you need to get your vote counting act together.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Does Frisch have any chance of unseating Boebert in CO-3? Frisch up 51.6 to 48.4 with 77% of the vote in.

Haven't seen the dial move on that one for a while.

Fetterman should be called here shortly I would think

are you losing your mind yet? your constant doom and gloom that the Rs were going to have a massive wave isn't coming even close to happening.

Fair enough.

Lol there’s over a million outstanding votes to be counted. Sure, mostly Philly, but no media going to call it anytime soon

Nice. Lotta blue county votes to count in GA, not too many red county votes yet with Warnock sitting at 49% and ahead a couple thousand votes with 10% left to be counted. Would love to see Warnock break 50% here and win outright.
