2022 Midterm Elections (US)

[POP!]

I just voted here in Michigan. We had a proposition on the ballot that basically codifies Roe v Wade into the State's Constitution. That being on the ballot will certainly motivate young/left leaning turnout in Michigan and help Whitmer, but I fear what turnout will be like in the other states. Especially with Kari Fucking Lake, Hershel Walker, Dr. Oz and that Smiley candidate from Washington.

Apparently it's looking very bad for the Democrats in Florida

 

[RJN]

Not a surprise but

No surprise. But I don’t think it’s a reflection on the rest of the country

 

[VoR]

JD Vance has such rapey vibes.

 

[K.C.]

Wtf. I can't believe that stupid bitch is getting reelected

 

[K.C.]

 

[RJN]

Its an extremely Republican/rural/white district. She fucking sucks but she was always going to win

 

[K.C.]

She's absolutely bottom of the barrel on all levels. Without any of her politics. Just as a person, she's shit.

The massive migration of Republicans to Florida during the DeSantis pandemic free-for-all has helped to make the state a non-starter for Dems once and for all, but at least they aren't voting elsewhere.

This feed seems to think Warnock is going to win outright.

 

[RJN]

I'm trying to not get excited to early about Warnock but...

 

[RJN]

Ron Desanctimonious (not Trump's most catchy nickname) has been reelected

 

[POP!]

KEY RACE ALERT!

That was a foregone conclusion, wasn't it?

The Libertarian alternative to Walker is performing highly for a third party candidate, clearly more than a few Republicans couldn't stomach the CTE and "I am here to serve God, and pay for the stray abortion every now and then." Possibly a good number of ballots left blank for that race.

538 gave him 95% but I always saw it as one

Massachusetts has just elected America's first lesbian governor.

the needle has started

Abrams has fallen behind Kemp

And now Walker has overtaken Warnock.

 

[RJN]

Warnock has overtaken

So far it's kind of the reverse of 2020 - Democrats getting a bunch of strong early leads and the Republicans chipping away through the night.

 

[RJN]

Well the Twitter conspiracy I just bought into is that the New York Times put the wrong count for Walker in Paulding County, Georgia. Which actually seems right based on their population and vote history and the results on CNN

 

[VoR]

I'm a big fan of Katie Hobbs' Lisa Loeb-esque aura

That would be too good

Things might end up not being so bad?

This was considered a potentially vulnerable seat for the Democrats

Looking promising for the Senate. Even if Warnock loses in Georgia, Fetterman is looking strong to pick up in Pennsylvania.

Republicans likely to get the House, but so far it's not looking like they'll take it by much.

One for the books.

Logically, I know this is right but I just really can't stand the thought of Walker losing

omg!
