WI is stressing me out. Called for Evers (yay!) but Senate still undecided. We’re waiting on Milwaukee co absentee ballots (they count at a different location and result later) which is historically very Democrat. I’m so fucking nervous but slightly hopeful.
But how is the WI senate THIS close? Did like 60k people have a fucking stroke at the polls?? How do you vote Evers AND Johnson? Michels and Johnson are cut from the same election-denying, trump-loving, absolute abortion ban cloth.

I've been thinking if the SCOTUS had not overturned Roe, Republicans probably would have done much better in the midterms. They should have kept Roe as a talking point because it seems the majority of people did not want it overturned.

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. I agree.

I don't really know who Pritzker is and I don't think Fetterman is as good of a draw as they think. It should have been a no brainier between him and Oz.

It greatly confuses me.

They should have kept Roe as a talking point because it seems the majority of people did not want it overturned. I completely agree with this. A LOT of people (women) snapped their heads up and went, "wait, what?" when the SC actually overturned it. Weren't there record numbers of women registering to vote since then?

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. I was really surprised that he was against it. What was his reason?

Fucking Iowa. Not official yet but looking likely we will lose our only dem house seat as well as pretty much every dem position in the state. Plus we made it easier for people to get guns. I hate it here. Still a small chance for our state auditor but that's literally it and it's extremely close.

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. Oh I know. I honestly didn't like anyone running this year, but J.D. Vance is the top worst right under J.R who luckily did not get in

I’m feeling so much better this morning than expected. Ohio still sucks though, also as expected. I think I need to move to MI or PA, at least we have decent state neighbors. please to come to NoMi (south of Traverse City specifically) we need more of us. And we have golden retriever gatherings. Thank you for your consideration.

I went to bed feeling defeated, but I woke up encouraged that my city, San Antonio, stayed solidly blue.

Well this is accurate. In better news, my 17-year-old woke up really excited though that it didn't go as bad as I thought it might. He is all in on voting blue next year. He tracked the election results more than I did. Gen Z truly is invested and done with the bullshit.
