it looks like a young, energetic moderate Democrat beating an old run of the mill Republican who probably didn't campaign very hard

local races can be very volatile

@everyone Who here lives in Missouri

District 144 not finished yet, but Democrat candidate maintains a slight lead

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 it's not Alabama tier bad

it's a local race, so things are different

the swing is the same

a single candidate working really hard can swing the margins

like in the case of

I have a theory,

@Red Storm (in NYC)

it's a little whitepilling,

perhaps state legislative elections are not accurate at representing US Congressional elections,

the evidence I'm basing this on is the fact the average shift for state legislative elections have remain unchanged since January,

and from January until now, the congressional generical ballot has shifted from +10 to +6 in that time.

Daily reminder that Clinton is literally the worst candidate that the Democrats had to offer

So it would probably make sense why a district that dramatically voted for Trump in the 201 election went for a moderate Dem to represent their district this year

Jeeeeeesus....

**53** point shift....

"perhaps state legislative elections are not accurate at representing US Congressional Elections,"

DING DING DING DING

we have a winner

i'm hoping so

we'll wait until March I suppose
