hold on to your seats, folk

there's an election going on?!

state-level

no posting here until i get the election results

post in misc until then, folks

they all look like solid GOP seats

hopefully GOP voters turn out

I can't help but think the next democratic governor of California is going to be nightmarishly worse than Brown

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 @Sacramento do you foresee California collapsing hard in the near future ?

I wouldn't be surprised if something happens that makes things get really bad in California to the point where California Republicans become more popular

California will collapse from far-left politics and overspending within a decade, i'm 65% sure of it

okay,

results are coming in,

give it some time

the R appears to be winning in the 39th district

okay, the R has won the 129th district

the R won 69% of the vote, Trump won here by 80% of the vote in 2016

this is a +25 point swing in favor of Democrats

yikes

ummm

@Red Storm (in NYC)

two dems are leading

remember, republicans control all 4 of these districts

80 to 69 is an 11 point swing

that's not including the Dem increase

or, comparing both margins rather

Trump being on the ballot definitely gave a boost

also mid-term turnout

i doubt its a real swing

err...this is looking kinda bad...

I'm sure we'll do better in the actual midterms than the special elections

also im working on making the blogger look presentable

ive never used it

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 have you been tested for testosterone levels

dear god,

Trump won these disctricts by 70-80% of the vote,

yeah, because he's Trump

and the candidates are neck and neck

how can a swing like this be possible...

GOP voters aren't hearing about this but Democrats are
