Wow, looks like Andrew Gillum is actually gonna win Florida.
Also Brian Kemp has without any doubt rigged Georgia.
My lil heart can't take this.
I'm stressed the fuck out.
This thread reminds me of the Brexit thread when the results were coming through, hope it ends better for you then it did for us
The live forecast also just updated and gave the dems an additional seat, now predicated at 232 house seats, I've been not out of the running
Good luck guys, give the Senate and the House the fucking D.

HOLY SHIT thats close. In the past it wasn't even remotely close for Barr.
Gotta keep in mind that districts are only now closing, and that it's not a good idea to make assumptions on a candidate until all districts have closed.
Georgia is at less than 1% reporting, chill dude
dem chances for taking the house are rocketing way up in 538's forecast
aaa i'm so nervous right now
ohio voting just closed and i really am forcing myself to not keep f5'ing
Cut to Trump desperately mashing the Moscow button on his tiny phone
Democrats taking the House won't be too surprising; what I'm really curious about is the Senate and the governor races in Florida & Georgia. Also, I want nothing more than to see Ted Cruz and Devin Nunes btfo.
Yep, same here. Our stairs(!!) were missing this morning (we live in a second-story apartment) and we still found a way down to get out and vote.
I'm currently living at home after graduating from college to save money. Living with just my very conservative mother while Dad is overseas. She doesn't know I a not-Republican(she has her suspicions).
Basically me whenever a Republican loses their seat: "wow I can't believe they lost!"

Voted with her as well without rasing suspicions.
Where's my Emmy.
If you're wondering why I don't voice my beliefs with my family well that's just an avenue I don't feel like I need to go down. Maybe someday. It's hard to reason with 10 years of Fox News conditioning in a way that doesn't end in a fight. My dad is a bit more open but still a Trump voting Republican. Though neither of them liked Trump at all in the primaries, they saw him as their only choice once he secured the ticket. As many conservatives did.
Fuck the house, fuckin' Senate chances doubled since voting started. Still just around 20%, but that's pretty crazy.
I think a good percentage of the country felt the same way. Seems like your folks are much more open about it if they're able to recognise this.
Did the NYT ticker bust for anyone else?
CNN has one as well

Looks good so far, Dems are making gains in Ohio, Virginia, and the Carolinas.
"what are you mad at trump?"
"everything, thats what".
Well they were in favor of Ted Cruz(No surprise who they voted for in the midterm). Didn't like Trump's rhetoric and we're with Fox News when Fox was still against Trump. But after it was a done deal it was like switching a light on. Well Cruz didn't win and Trump is an asshole but he's the Republican nomination so we have to stand behind him because we can't let Hillary win. Once the conservative media machine saw it had no choice but to stand behind Trump, all the conservative Republicans followed suit and loosened their morals to allow themselves to look the other way from Trump's bullshit. Because we can't let them Democrats win. Hillary is corrupt and the Democrats want socialism and taxes and hate the Constitution.
And thats how people get caught up in it without realizing what's going on. I don't think the majority of Trump voters are bad people or white nationalists or whatever. They just got played and can't see that.
