Gorn Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 With DeSantis leading in Miami and Orlando, I think we safely say that Republicans won all competitive Florida races in a landslide. On the other hand, I like what I'm seeing in Ohio, North Carolina and Georgia Senate races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first foray into poll manager was in 2020. I’ve also been in 3 different precincts each time I’ve worked the polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartIheartTesla Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 ABC projects DeSantis and Rubio as winner (at 8:01 PM), safe to say Florida isnt turning blue anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway the point is moot, the Dems are going to do very poorly in Florida, and that's not surprising at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 A quick detour from the elections. Elon Musk didn't just pay $44B for Twitter, he also lost an additional $22B from Twitter's stock price job over this. So in other words, he could have literally bought every team in the AFC for that. I hope he isn't also a fan of crypto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorn Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Some major vote splitting in Georgia and Ohio, with Republican governors getting far more votes than their Senate candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dems not showing up during a bad cycle where the GOP gubernatorial incumbent outraised his opponent by well over $100 million doesn't really mean it's a "goner."

The Rubio-Demings result is what should be depressing. She's a much better candidate than him and yet he's going to crush her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartIheartTesla Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I dont know whats going on in North Carolina, but Beasley has a pretty healthy lead with 53% of the vote in (about 128k with slightly over 2M counted, which means slightly less than 2M remaining). Given that she had 9% odds of winning per 538, it does seem like a better than expected performance, but I dont know the breakdown of the outstanding votes.

It's certainly a disappointing result for Demings personally, but I wouldn't write-off Dems competing in future cycles just because of the lack of turnout in this one. That wouldn't be wise.

NYT is still projecting “leaning Republican”. You are right, with 53% of the votes in, she is leading by 6%age points. But, her lead has been slowly evaporating. So maybe the counted the Dem counties first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorn Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Washington County (near Pittsburgh) in PA has 95% of votes reporting, with Fetterman leading 75-25. Registered Republicans in that county outnumber Democrats 45-41. I think it's a landslide for Fetterman. Edit: OK, I take that back, CNN just flipped that back to 0% counted. Seems to have been an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A True Kaniggit Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Damn. I didn’t even get to vote for my House of Representative person. The sole Republican won beforehand no contest. There were two elections I could vote in. The senator race (useless) and a school board race between two Republicans. At least I cast the “slavery bad” vote. Edit: Apparently even though I have a Shreveport address, I live too far out to vote for Mayor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej6 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 GA is not looking good. Warnock is up by just 6% and if that is all due to early voting… I can’t believe Georgians will send that half wit, Walker, to the U.S. senate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
