Some early calls going up in favor of Mark Warner in VA. (Senate race)

The all day rain has me nervous. I realize those days should be behind us, but the apathy of an average human continues to shock me here and there.

54-46% Barr is my final prediction based off of the early results. I’m going with Dembo in KY-06 by less than a point.

Rowan County in the coalfields of eastern Kentucky is Booker +3 with 61% vote counted- Trump carried it by 28 points.

If it comes down to it, Alaska’s polls don’t close until 8pm, which is midnight for you eastern time zone people. Probably around 10-11pm local for any sense of results.

For those who didn't vote by mail, any of you seeing the Gestapo...errr ICE at your polling sites? I assume not given how lily white most of board's remaining membership is.

Markwayneheinrichwhatever claims they will only be present if there is a "threat". Whatever that means.

No ICE. A couple more police officers than typical, but also a much longer line than usual (typically there is not more than one or two people checking in Ahead of you) . Not sure if that means more people are voting or if it just took everyone longer to slog through the 10 ballot questions we had.

If Florida is a close race...

It sounds like Dems are leading in 3 of the 4 redistricted Florida House seats meant to be GOP if I'm understanding it correctly.

Suck it, Sununu.

And fuck your dad and brother too.

Already predicted winners in two of them.

Cooper predicted to win NC senate.

Just skimmed Bluesky and smiled as I scrolled.

But then had a sudden wave of dread. What if Musk/Trump and Co. reverse cheated, GOP does their stupid "it's rigged," schtick, and they find it actually *was* rigged?

Decentralized elections make that almost impossible. You'd have to rig it at the county level across the country.

Bluesky is a good place for doomerism, this is true.

MSNOW was looking at the Kansas Senate race.

Kansas.

Florida called for Moody, but much closer than it should have been for the Gross Old Pedos.

 

[psych]

The fact it’s 8pm and Kentucky’s Senate race hasn’t been called yet is a very good sign.

I don’t realize DeSantis wasn’t running for re-election for Governor in Florida.

 

[MissThundercat]

I don’t realize DeSantis wasn’t running for re-election for Governor in Florida.

Donalds also scraped out a W, much closer than usual for GQP in Florida.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Not looking good for a Graham dynasty in SC. 25% left to report and she's still down by over 100k votes. Ruby red Myrtle Beach already mostly counted. She's gonna have to hope to swing most of the remaining votes in the Upstate area.

That's a shame.

3rd Florida district gerrymandered for Republicans called for the Democrat.
