U.S. Politics - Oh no! Here we Don McGahn. Recuse or pack.

Oh, FFS Texas! Enjoy the coming winter.

NBC just called Shapiro for PA governor.  Surprisingly early.

NYT: The Pennsylvania Senate race now leans Democratic, according to our estimates. Fetterman has outperformed Biden in every county that has concluded its count.

[DMC]

Kornacki pimping Fetterman's overperformance compared to Biden like he wants to put on a hoodie and shorts.

Doing my standard observing the ballot box and the workers. Doing it in my small town this time. It's been quiet and happy voters are taking selfies in front of the box, it's nice.

First time I've also wanted to explicitly introduce and show my creds so the workers are cool with a dude randomly watching them. Blah.

Was just coming to post that. It makes sense.  Why should new jersey get three senators?

I always knew Bears liked to watch!

Heh. I'm curious as to what he'd wear to the Senate.

Nate Cohn: “This is not the night the Republicans wanted. The party is underperforming most everywhere outside of Florida. Democrats have even started to improve their chance of holding the House.” 

Oh please make it be true.

First look here in Arizona, and it looks like we may have rejected the most ardent Trumpists when they had any sort of opposition, from the federal offices down to the local constables and JPs, at least here in Maricopa County.

Election Results (maricopa.gov)

For the most part, Maricopa County (Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, etc.) appear to have selected the more sensible of the candidates on offer.  We even got rid of a supreme court justice who was one of Ducey's appointments.

It looks more like a red trickle than a red wave out there. 

[Mindwalker]

Have to turn in, it's very late here. Good luck everyone.

Kemp won.

[Fez]

Hassan wins, a necessary but not sufficient condition for keeping the senate. But it sure is nice for the race to be called with less than 40% of the vote in. 

Not a bad night at all yet. Not amazing, but not bad. Though I'd feel much better if PA gets called for Fetterman before I go to bed.

[DMC]

Hassan's called the winner with only 50% reporting.  Another abject failure for the GOP.

[Mindwalker]

Oh ffs! JD effing Vance!

[DMC]

While Johnson has pulled ahead with 60% reporting in Wisconsin, Evers remains up by nearly 75 thousand votes or five percent...

[Corvinus85]

I would like to believe that considering how easily JD Vance can turn his cloak, he'll ignore Trump after this and the worst he'll do is vote the way McConnell tells him to vote.

[Tywin et al.]

Gonna be a long one. Glad I was wrong. 

[DMC]

Kornacki trying to convince me the Dems have a chance at the House.  I'll have the coke he's having.

Talking about the maps I can't believe CNN still has John King running it when he consistently gives pointless and/or obvious information and sounds like grandpa.  Like for serial WTF?

CNN loves doing that. Beofer they had Wolf Blitzer doing the same thing. In unversity during an election night watch we made up a game called "thanks Wolf" where you take a shot everytime he says something mind numblingly obvious, even grading a bit on a curve we all got completely destroyed.
