Ballots drop 8 central?

Winning West Virginia and Montana in 2024 would be amazing for another reason. WV and Montana are part of the small group of states that require if a senator dies in office, the governor must appoint someone from the dying senators party to fill the void. I think the only senate seats that we could lose to a death and a Republican governor in place would be Ohio, Georgia, and New Hampshire.

Not ashamed to admit, but due to the anti masking and anti vaccine rhetoric, I didn’t feel bad for republicans who got the virus. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

It’s funny how the Republican narrative just now is “Trump sucks…. Fuck him” and Desantis is a god whose going to ride in and save them all. The democrats didn’t even really invest in Texas or Florida at all this cycle. Of course they were going to lose big there.

30-44 was extremely disappointing, but I realize that this was billed as a republican leaning midterm beforehand. Maybe 30-44 turnout was low? I don’t think the GOP should win that demographic.

The republicans won’t succeed in stopping early voting and vote by mail. The backlash would be too strong. They’re just venting their frustrations, but they won’t be able to do anything about it.

I don’t think it would work. The push back would be too great and the media would destroy them if they tried. We live in a first world country, not some shithole. Voting should be easy and convenient.

Wasserman thinks only 5 truly competitive seats left. Arizona should be done counting ballots by Tuesday I think. No idea how long the California races might take.

Dems did a masterful job in the senate elections. We are very likely going to have 51 seats. A plus one result. They took a lot of heat for not supporting Beasley in NC and Ryan in Ohio, but I’m not so sure we would’ve won in Arizona and Nevada if we were spread too thin on the map. Beasley could’ve conceivably won, but McConnell threw a ton of money at Ryan’s race to make sure he lost. Barnes almost pulled it out. Ben wikler is very good at what he does in Wisconsin. There’s a crucial state Supreme Court race up there that we need to win in 2023. Getting the Wisconsin Supreme Court is the only way we could break that egregious gerrymander where Wisconsin republicans lose statewide and still pick up 66% of the seats. We need to end all of the bipartisan redistricting commissions that seem to only exist in blue states. We go easy on the repubs in California and New York while the republicans go in balls deep on us in Ohio, Florida, and nearly everywhere else they control.

Election turned out amazing. If I was Biden, I would reward gen Z for showing up. Legalize marijuana. Fucking do it. It can’t hurt you at the polls. make sure insulin cap passes. Assure the olds that social security and Medicare is safe. Don’t focus on the 40-65 demographic. Those people are literally brain washed by Trump. Focus on policies that the people who made you win want.

Guys……. I voted democrat up and down the ballot! I swear! Please don’t ban me……

I was really hoping the GOP ceiling in the house was 220 or 219. What do you think it is at?

It is what it always has been. All most people in the GOP care about is “ OWNING THE LIBS”. Once their ability to own the libs is threatened, anything is on the table. They will change policy, moderate, all of a sudden be in favor of abortion or slavery. The GOP is willing to do Whatever it takes to slam the libs head into the pavement and get their degenerate base cheering.

Trumps base loves Fox News, especially while Trump is on it. Massive ratings.

According to that article, Detrumpis is waiting until how Nevada and Arizona senate races shake out. We know masters lost, if Laxalt loses too and the Georgia race no longer decides control or the senate, little Ron won’t waste his time. I’ll go a step further and say if Laxalt loses, Trump will be more likely to announce his presidential run on Tuesday because everyone will think Walker is toast anyway without the GOP being able to win back senate control by capturing his seat.

I’m hoping he lives until mid 2024 now. The GOP made a deal with the devil and now it’s time to pay up.

They assume all republicans hate murkowski for saving Obamacare. They assume all republicans want tsibaka to beat her. They will be shocked again when Murkowski wins.

Seems like they could call more house races then they have been. The AP is being super slow about it.

Browsed Texags briefly and looked at their election thread. Every single page has the words “ find ballots”, “ print ballots”, “brrrr”, and “ figure out how many they need”. Even after 2 long years, Trump has done lasting damage to the confidence in our elections and it is very sad. I know that if we got our clocks cleaned by the GOP the reaction would’ve been “man that sucks” or “ we need to recruit better candidates” not WE GOT SCREWED.

Nevada ballot dump : here comes the rural haymaker Wait Laxalt only gains 40 votes from a rural dump? HAHAAHAHAHAHAH

Are we still on for the big MAGA announcement on Tuesday? I never watch trumps shit, but would watch him announce for his run for presidency again while dying of laughter.

If we can keep the margin 220 or less, a GOP house might be better because they can take some of the blame if the economy gets a lot worse.
