I'm having a really visceral reaction to this. Don't even go there, Marco.

This I attribute partially to Beto and his ability to energize the base. I know that being a Democrat in a red state is tough and it's easy to give up and not be engaged. Even though he didn't win he still made an impact and hopefully that impact in Texas will keep growing. Even though Beto didn't win in Texas, the impact was enough to make me want him to stay around, in whatever capacity that may be.

Ohh ok, that makes sense for those maybe voting for the independents. Be interesting to see how it plays out with this lawsuit and RCV. It will definitely be interesting and exciting if RCV works the way it was designed to. It’s nice to see more people from Maine! Are you in CD2? I’m actually an ex-pat in Canada but Maine is my home state. I vote in cd1 so this isn’t even who will represent me! But the more Dems the better!

Here is the NYT results page. www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/06/us/elections/results-house-elections.htmlLooks like there are still 8 districts still outstanding. Three of those are definitely Rs and they were likely Rs the whole time. Out of the before election toss up group it looks like 3 (CA45, NY22, UT4) are leaning Dem and 2 (CA39- which is now even, and ME2) are leaning R. If everything goes as people are now predicting, Dems will pick up 4 of those seats (CA45, NY22, CA39, and ME2) and one will go to the Rs (UT4) That would give dems a pick up of 38 seats. I don't really like the blue wave thing because it gave me anxiety that it wouldn't happen BUT it does seem like a blue way... I saw someone on twitter call it a "blue................................wave" lol and I agree. Edit to add: If CD21 that I posted above flips to dems, that would give them 39 seats

They should be announcing the RCV results in ME2 this afternoon. The judge (a Trump appointee) has also said he would make a ruling on the Poliquin lawsuit today.

There some Virginia 01 drama tonight. Apparently Vangie Williams campaign sent out a pro 2nd amendment postcard to voters right before the election. It stated that she believes in gun rights and would never support a gun recall of any type and she would never support a gun registry. I did not know this about her. Before the primary she was definitely not singing that tune. Anyway, someone posted the postcard the other day and said they were disappointed in her and it looks like I’m not the only surprised one about her stance. The person who posted it was her primary challenger (who did support her and vote for her. He took a pic of his ballot) and now her director of communications is dragging him. Apparently this went out without her approval and she is livid. People have been fired over it.

Which is why she's angry that it was mailed without her approval of the final language. She agreed to a mailer with much, in her words, "softer language "

Another federal judge has ruled that Georgia must accept minor discrepancies on absentee ballots.
Kemp just keeps getting slapped down but I'm still pretty sure it's too little, too late.
I really admire Stacey Abrams and her team for fighting so hard though.

Despite Young Kim participating in the freshman representatives picture yesterday, Gil Cisneros has taken the lead. How embarrassing for her. 😬

How embarrassing for her. 😬 The losing candidate in my district have a victory speech on election night after ONE news channel said she won. Two days later the full vote count said otherwise. 😬😬😬 She is now petitioning for the largest county here to "examine the absentee ballots that so many are wondering about." So she's taking the loss well. 🙄
