carmensandiego Ooh I didn’t know there were liquor-related items in the ballot there! I am removed from it and next state over now, but I have friends and former coworkers that post a lot of ballot measures. When I lived there, I remember there was concern about the “mom and pop” and local establishments going out of business if every chain store had alcohol available. It never was that difficult for me to travel to the chains with alcohol but I’d imagine it’s annoying if you are used to more accessible cheap alcohol.

I love seeing these states protect abortion. More of this, please. ❤️ It was thrilling to vote for it, I have to say. I think I felt so relieved that it was even possible.

I’m still hoping for a Barnes upset in WI. I think Milwaukee is going to be the factor if it happens. Sounds like that county performed much better than anticipated with turnout.

I think I saw the same is true of Clark County (both in NV). So I think we'll have to wait on the NV Senate call.

Christy Smith is losing in Katie Hill’s former district. Again. That’s a really tough district but the Dems have got to get a better fit for a candidate. It’s depressing.

It seems like my town stopped counting votes a little after 10pm. It’s been stuck at 73% reporting since 10:18. There are 5 people running for 3 seats on BOE and so far I’m #3 by 97 votes 😅 🤞

Deja vue. I’m still bitter how much our state wasted to try to kick him out mere months before this race. I love that picture when in reality he is like full gray now. The recall really aged him. And the pandemic, I think. But phew! It’s a good look on him 😏

DS said he heard a lot of kids on campus today saying voting was a waste of time 🙄 He probably wouldn't have cared much if I didn't encourage him either, but I wasn't going to let him ignore the election One of our local levy issues passed by 33 votes. Every vote matters!

Oh man seeing the Kevin McCarthy “victory” party on MSNBC was so delicious. Rachel was cackling
(An empty stage with “take back the house” projection, a couple party goers, and Doobie Bros on the speakers)

I stress ate a frosty earlier and am paying for it now. I’m glad it isn’t as bad as I was fearing, but woof, there are some disappointments.

CA voters - looks like Newsom tanked prop 30 (the tax for zero emission vehicles and wildfire protection). I ended up voting yes even though he was against it because I didn’t buy his argument. What do you guys think? I’m sure they will rewrite it and it will be back again - maybe a better version?
And I can’t take another dialysis center prop. I will refrain if they ask me again.

This is local for me and I'm seriously shocked these races are this close with only 33% reporting. Joseph Alfonso being this close in Berrien Co against Bill Huizinga is a big deal. He is a primary write it running in a redistricted race that Rep Fred Upton held. If Alfonso pulls out this race to rep MI 4, that's huge. The other state races for my district are all far closer than I'd have ever thought.

My results viewing partner. I’m taking projections on the tongue and how long it stays out.

I also voted yes on that one. Seemed like a no brainer to me.

Looks like raising min wage is passing. Yay! But we are going to have id for voting. Which should be a shitshow - thanks Ricketts mom. 🤬

Kevin Mullen will replace Rep Spier. That’s who she endorsed and who I voted for. Better choice but no Jackie. I look forward to my phone calls to his office.

OMG the dialysis center votes are ridiculous. And so so many ads. Enough.
