They already have medical, which if its anything like Oklahoma, is basically recreational. I know some people who voted for medical who might vote against recreational when we vote on it next year. I think some people truly believe that it is for medical purposes. True there are therapeutic uses, but 95% or more use it recreationally after a 2 minute online doctor visit. I said insomnia and stress. The doctor didn't even ask for specifics. I can buy all the weed I want now, lol.

Yeah I visited my mother's family's ancestral stolen land near Enid a couple times in the past year. The number of dispensaries was amazing. I was laughing at what my grandparents would have thought about that.

Shouldn’t they vote yes because of the simple concept of “ I don’t care what people do as long as it doesn’t effect me”?

Of course. Same as abortion, gay marriage, and letting trans people exist. It's still fucking Arkansas.

[RabidM 2668]

Had Georgia already counted their mail in ballots? 

[Js1 85423]

Kansas appears a potential bright spot too if Kelly wins and Kobach loses the AG race

Outside of the quaint towns rural Texas is as much of a forgotten meth plagued shit hole as any small town in Ohio or Pennsylvania. I mean just places the world has forgotten. Then you add the religion in those quaint towns and Texas is 90% trump everywhere that isn’t a major city. 

The real America. God’s country.

Newsom vs Desantis vs trump as a third party. The simulation demands it. 

Newsom fucked Guilfoyle which makes him basically a Trump. Also, it’s fucking gross.

Yeah, look at the obits and you see the answer. Every single one of them olds is a member of xyz podunk church. The % of white Texans that were weekly church goers in the 50s must've been astronomical.

Is he? I just saw 49-48 or something for Fetterman

Fetterman has gotten reeled in a bit, but still ahead by 40,000 votes.

[totallynotabuttpirate 5400]

Yea, PA is a wrap. Just about all the votes left are around Philly.

Is it? PA-GA net out. Win NV for GOP. GOP wins Senate 51-49.

I’m not necessarily saying that’s going to going to happen, but it’s certainly plausible.

Michels was a fucking creep promising Wisconsin would “never go blue again” if he won. I guess he was going to hit up Ohio and Florida and ask them for the blueprint. Asshole.

Legal marijuana losing in Arkansas. It’s struggling to even win a county. What the hell is wrong with those people?

Its pragmatism, simple as that. Those people have families to feed, and once Huckabeef gets the munchies, there wont be enough vittles to go around

[cactusflinthead 27601]

I want to see what's left here.

Ronny Jackson is running behind

PA is currently a republican seat.

[Voldemort86 2259]

MAGA ass predict it has dems 70-30 chances to win senate now. 

[gmr548 16580]

PA is currently a republican seat.

And GA/NV are currently Democratic…

[Bullneck 19178]

So far I've been pleasantly surprised for the most part, with a few notable surprises (disappointments) in Texas, Florida, and so far in Georgia.

TBH, I'm surprised Roe hasn't had more of effect on things.  Surprising.

 

Fuck, JD Vance just won.  Jesus, what a bunch of morons.

Dollar Generals and dispensaries on every corner.  EVERY.  Might even outnumber mobile homes.

Misread what you posted - my bad.

Holy shit JD Vance won Ohio.  I mean, holy shit.  Ohio is just as lost as Texas and Florida.

Roe is a big part of why this appears to be about as close to a stalemate as a midterm can be for a governing party with a razor thin majority, despite the current environment.

[Pancho 44860]

I know this board doesn’t like Joy Reid, but she’s right—Dems have got to say “fuck it” with FL and instead go after Nawf Carolina.

He's a long way from 50%. You have to hope the runoff goes to Warnock, but you never know.

You can’t underestimate the mid term phenomenon of the incumbent president getting his ass handed to him. This is turning out to be the best mid term for an incumbent president in the last 100 years save the mid term for Bush right after 9/11.

You're going off historical trends with midterms though and we've never seen an assault on democracy like this.  People are just too stupid.  That is the only answer.  We are just too fucking dumb to survive.

[RabidM 2668]

Hopefully Warnock gets to a very expensive runoff, but holy fuck... Hershel Walker... people really voted for him.  Could a sack of potatoes with an (R) do about just as well?  Apparently, the candidate hardly matters at all.

All 3 are total Republican states.  Just like Alabama or Mississippi.  MI, PA and maybe WI are the keys for the Dems going forward in the Big 10 states. I still can’t believe Ron Johnson gets to be a Senator still but then again Herschel Walker getting that many votes is just sad for America.

Peep Maryland as well. If not for family we wouldn’t be leaving our life here in Baltimore, and I like it for many of the reasons you called out.

I love Maryland.  I'm down with sticking as long as possible. Love Baltimore too--cool town.  It's a really green state which is nice too.    

[Zonahorn 8079]

Patty Murray wins, Trashfalger

[Pancho 44860]

NYT has GA at 49.0 at 49.0

 

[RDCanecutter 26453]

Zero drama in the Alabama races though I am personally happy that the new maps put my house in Terry Sewell's district and not with whatever drooling flag-wrapped hillbilly had it before.

[troph 24870]

Nevada senate is the next one to watch. 

[Js1 85423]

Iowa Senate president loses lol

[gmr548 16580]

GA should go to a runoff. We have zero results for NV and won’t know until Thursday

Right. Which is why I’m saying “hard to imagine” is not how I’d describe the prospects for the GOP taking the Senate. Even granting PA to Democrats, going 2-2 in toss up races is not really a stretch.

Edit: Now I can’t math lol

I hope so, but Montrose is at 0% and they will go for her.

If this is accurate, then there are only 5000 votes left in Montrose. We got a shot

Politics aside I’m at home when I get to 20-30 miles from the coast and running around from PINS up to rockport makes me happy. Still shitholes up and down the highway. Our entire state is full of potholes and armpits even though there are some really great places.
