I know. Rationally I knew that of course. But those fucking troll polls Trafalgar and other partisan R polls kept dropping showing a tied race or even Zeldin up. Doesn't help that I live deep in a red part of NY and was surrounded by his yard signs lol. All stuff I know shouldn't mean anything but not great for my mental health.

I live in tonkos district and zeldin/liz joy signs were everywhere, so I get it. but that happens every election cycle, signage means nothing

Ha ha Boebert losing would be so funny, it might almost make up for JD Vance

538 has looked pretty good so far with these results.

Abrams does a lot of good work for GA and I would rather she stayed in politics.

Someone else probably needs to run for Governor, though.

15% more of CO District 3 in (up to 86%) and Boebert is completely static, still trailing 4 points 52-48. She is totally out.

Wonder if they will have the balls to call it for Fetterman soon.

Judging by 2020, probably not. They didn't call it for days.

NC 13 called for Dems, a race that was considered "Likely Rep".

Democrats have won over half of the "Likely Repubublican" house seats that have been called.

Please keep in mind that Boebert is 100% going to attempt her own mini-coup if she loses, so we can't celebrate until she's actually gone

(The CA one won as well, but that was a given)

good news is the Democrat won governor there, so she really wont be able to do anything. She has no power.

Abortion performing really well nationwide other than places that it obviously had no chance in.

Looks like it may end up a key factor in Republican underperformance.

Will be very interested in the party gender breakdown for R votes.

too bad we cant run nominate Abortion for president

What is with Lake and all these wierd fucking background and lighting decisions?

Anyways she's already getting salty. Looking real bad for them there.

The Simpsons had it right, an Abortion/Miniature American Flag ticket would win in a landslide

It's not just Lake BTW.

Arizona looking overwhelmingly blue across the board.

Dont worry everyone, the real hero will sort this all out

Warnock back ahead of Walker at 49.3 to 48.6. Overwhelmingly D counties left to count. Still predicting a runoff but it's not impossible for Warnock to break the barrier.

Looking more and more likely that Democrats won't even need GA to keep the Senate, though.

He's preparing his manilla folder as we speak!

And this time he has a rubber band to keep it from opening up.

Let's make Manchin a thing of the past imo

Proud of Az so far. Still waiting on that first major update but it looks good early.

If Mark Kelly wins today, I will donate to whatever progressive candidate emerges against Sinema.

I know Nevada is likely D but it's still frustrating that the way counting works there there's still 0% in.

Definitely the most annoying state come election time.

NBC calls PA for Fetterman.

I know peope lost interest in this one when they realized it was over before it began, but still good to see it official.

NBC's projection of the House was (as of like 30 minutes ago, not sure right now) 219R-216D and that it's basically as close to a tie for control as it could be.

what the fuck

is this... hope? (I still think they narrowly lose but it might literally end up coming down to Cuomo's judges redrawing NY's map where every GOP state got away with gerrymandering into oblivion)

yeah Im pretty sure NY is gonna blow the dems chances for retaining the house, unfortunately

thanks cuomo

96% counted in GA and Warnock went up another decimal. I am pretty sure the chances of avoiding a runoff are out the window but it's a good result.

I know Im a broken record on this, but 5 states have legal weed on the ballot today, and polls in all 5 are favorable, with Maryland actually confirming it.

Imagine how beautiful these results would have been if Joe dropped that bomb, lmao.

get rekt, olds

Gee it's almost like "doing something" like student loan forgiveness or movement on marijuana at the federal level might've motivated the youth to vote, or something.

If the democrats come out tonight relatively unscathed, I hope they take that lesson with them for the next two years.

It looks like Social Security is not the drum Dems need to beat.

They did it. They called it for Fetterman.

Fettermans victory speech.

Is my memory failing me, or does it feel like elections 10-20 years ago were tabulated much quicker than they were today? I don't know, but I remember as a kid and teenager that by 11 pm, maybe midnight, about 99% of elections were called and listed as 95-99% counted. Once again, this may be faulty memory on my part, but I thought that's how I recalled it being. Looking at this election and others like it, here we are this late at night and there is a plethora of contests not called yet. Plenty of votes still not tabulated. Has the counting process gotten worse over the years?

I think they had better polling to call them earlier. California has always taken notoriously long to tabulate their results for the House. The one I remember going real long was the Bush gore one though ofc.

Tennessee wanted to ban slavery a bit more than Oregon did, last I saw it was something like 54/46 here.

Its a combination of more early voting/mail in voting, and state legislators changing the rules about when you can start counting those

They called them faster prior to Bush v. Gore. I think the networks increased their confidence threshold to call after that, so they wouldn't get embarrassed again by having to retract it.

Yeah, I was thinking in the 90s specifically, which is digging way back in my childhood, but I thought I recalled it was a much quicker and cleaner counting process.
