MN people, it looks like Ellison has squeaked out a win.

It was an unnerving strategy, but every GOPer boosted in the primaries by the DCCC did end up losing to the Dem incumbent. So it worked, this time.

Hi. I went to bed last night. I was having too much anxiety, I couldn't watch anything. I'm feeling better this morning but still very anxious. Zeldin needs to go get fucked and fall into a sink hole.
Where are we on the House and the Senate in terms of retaining control?

Zeldin needs to go get fucked and fall into a sink hole. Where are we on the House and the Senate in terms of retaining control? We're looking hopeful in the Senate. We're going to lose the House, but we can make Kevin Mccarthy 's job very very hard.

I know this varied around the state, but we literally only had our one rep race on the ballot. And he won with 73.5% of the vote. I could see why motivation to vote specifically in VA would be low. I don't think you can extrapolate VA turnout numbers though, because of our unique election schedule. We'd get way better turnout for midterms if it synced up with the state level elections.

Omg!! This is no longer my CD post redistricting but I’m so excited!! It’s outside recount margin so it’s really real! I hardly post anymore but this IS my district and I am so relieved - I don't love Vasquez but I am thrilled to oust Herrell. Her local office is right next to my hair dresser and I cannot wait for that store front to house something useful. Also glad MLG stays.

The voter suppression here in TX is fucking abhorrent so I wasn't holding out hope that Beto would win. It doesn't seem like we'll ever be free of a republican governor, lt. Gov and AG. If all my family wasn't here and I didn't have a great job with a great company that is only in this state I'd be gone in a heartbeat. DH and I have also talked about this, however we are both divorced with shared custody and are legally unable to move. We have specifically talked about wanting to move because of my 9 year old DD and the reproductive rights issues. It sucks, to be honest.

Abigail Spanberger would like a word seriously. Virginia beach drips red. Luria was always going to struggle anytime election.

We almost got screwed in our state house race because they somehow drew the line ON my street and my side of the street got lumped in with redder cities. Luckily the D still won!
Also our school board kept the extremists away! One of the incumbents had a controversy right before the election (even I wasn't thrilled to vote for her but I didn't want to leave a seat open so I did it) and all secret MAGAs lost! We had one very scary guy who didn't have any kids and had zero education experience and was talking about arming teacher, etc. He ended up not getting on the ballot so he was running as a write in which obviously didn't work out for him. I'm so happy that my city is so blue.

My school board race went the right way, as did the other local races. I was nervous that I misjudged my neighbors and friends, and we’d have a book banner on the board.
And there is already two inches of snow for a massive forecasted storm today, so it’s looking perfect for a hunker down, read the election coverage kind of day.

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. 🤬 We're nothing if not complicated. The min wage is still missing increasing the tipped wage though, which really needs to happen.

So since Idaho is now in 1950, do I start my day with martinis or do I wait for lunch?
Dems actually had a better showing than previous years and boise pretty much always goes blue but damn if the rest of the state isn’t smart. The gop didn’t even bother to campaign for the most part while dems had been knocking doors etc for the past year.

I am very very disappointed with Ohio. That is all I have today I don't think Tim Ryan was a good candidate. I voted for him, but I wasn't really excited about him at all.

NE went as expected. Jimmy Fillen his pockets is going to be a bigger shitshow than Pricketts. All 3 seats stayed R so no "wave".
Some of the local items are very close though. We have one race that is currently separated by 61 votes. There are a few others that are too close to call at this point.

My husband was saying how ridiculous Oz is and I said it never should have been as close as it was for him. H was like, "Well, yeah, he's an obnoxious TV personality, what is he even doing?" And I said, "Wait until I tell you about the guy from the Apprentice!"

I haven’t seen it called yet but it looks like my big boss may have defeated the challenger for county attorney. I have mixed feelings about either of them winning but I’m a bit relieved that there will be no chaos in the transition if it holds.

I’m also very disappointed in Ohio. I had hopes for Ryan winning but I knew the rest would stay red. Besides the senate race, I don’t remember hearing a peep about any dems running. I hadn’t heard of any of them and had totally forgotten that Whaley was the dem running for governor. Terrible messaging here. But in good news, our school levy finally passed.
