2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

[MissThundercat]

Half of the random conservative posts ending up in my feed post-election: This isn't that big of a deal, there have been bigger swings and larger majorities in the past, I don't see why the Democrats are so excited.
The other half of the random conservative posts ending up in my feed post-election: The odds are this many counties swinging left at the same time are 1 in 500 gajillion, that's so unusual and unlikely it must be fraud!!@!!

I'm also seeing "THIS IS THE BIGGEST MILITARY STING OPERATION IN HISTORY! EO 8675309! RABBLE!"

Speaker Mike Johnson's comment said he is "sorry that voters made the wrong choice" in the election last week. Said he believes the next two years will be "a bit of a circus" and "chaos" "I hate to say that, but I think that's where the Democrats are going to lead the House, and that's a great,…

Hey, Mikey, fuck off.

Best not to engage, even to gloat. Let the piranhas gorge on each other.

The end game is not pwning them, it's seeing them decimate one another. As they have neither perspective nor accountability, they will continue to blame each other until they dissolve into a gelatinous mass of wormy flop sweat.

The Right is a morass of losers. Leave it. Don't even poke it with a stick. It's putrid and foul.

How did 7% of Alaskans just vote for the Democratic candidate in the House race? He doesn’t live in Alaska, he’s in jail, and he ran in 2024 too so it’s not like he’s unknown.

Some people are intentionally uninformed.

CNN calls it for Laubacher. And I'm not surprised by Boebert saying "there were voting irregularities."

So far, all of the actual fraud cases were rs trying to illegally vote in another state. So perhaps someone came up from texas and voted for her? That would explain why it was so close.

She won by 3300, Lauren, go back to your breasturants.

TBH, of all the RWNM eejits, she was the sole one who was, genuinely, fuckable. She will be missed.

Wait, so Lauren Boobert officially lost finally??

 

[Jimjamesak]

Small update from Alaska:

4900 votes added to the count and Peltola got 68% of them to increase her lead to 2500 votes.

Tomorrow will likely be the big drop of early (late early votes from the weekend before election day) and absentee votes. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a call after that tomorrow.

After seeing the anti-data center Democrats win by wide margins, current Senate democrats felt emboldened to pass the Data Center friendly bill that was stalled in the Senate.

The goddamn BAAJA bill passed by a wide margin for discussion in the Senate, and that's really bad. Among other things, it shows how many goddamn Democrats are also beholden to data center financing. BAAJA will gut four long-standing conservation policies developers and resource extractors hate...

Not officially. CNN called it and other outlets are saying she "will" lose.

Any shot Begich loses or will the Libertarian votes swing enough to him to go over 50%?

Possibly but it’s a bit of a long shot.

Hill will likely get enough votes to take it to the RCV run off but probably not enough to win.

TN-4 has the D up 200 votes.

It went R+20 in 2024.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

The gerrymander in TN must've been quite precise in carving up Nashville and Memphis, because assuming Broderick holds on in TN-4 and survives any recount ratfuckery, their delegation is still 8-1 R.

 

[Spartanforlife4]

Colom now up 2,600 votes after another update in Mississippi.
