US Election Results 2018 - A blue wave in a sea of piss - Polidicks

237 House 51 Senate

I, too, support rounding up brown people and the ever-accelerating move towards fascism in favor of lower taxes.

I hope America doesnt fuck this up again. Its bad for the entire western world if you do.

Democrats are extremely competitive at the governor level and could win between 8 and 12 governor's seats. The ones Democrats can flip: Nevada - Republican Laxalt and Democrat Sisolak are in a pure tossup. Nevada political expert Jon Ralton predicts Sisolak to win. Alaska - The only independent governor Bill Walker suspended his campaign and endorsed the Democrat, makes it only leaning Republican. South Dakota - South Dakota has the longest Republican governor streak in the country, but Billie Sutton has made competitive, both candiates are pro-life. Kansas - After the second most unpopular governor, it's the master of vote suppression versus the woman who cleaned up Sam Brownback's mess Oklahoma - The incumbent is the most unpopular in the nation and the R candidate is a pretty poor one, but it's Oklahoma Iowa - Unpopular incumbent coupled with the fact Iowa's entire House delegation could go Democrat must be making the incumbent nervous Wisconsin - Scott Walker is much closer to his opponent than in Wisconsin's Senate race, some people will actually vote for Walker as governor and a Democrat in the Senate Ohio - John Kasich is retiring, opening the door to Democrats winning for the first time since 2006 Georgia - A Trump Republican beat a moderate in the primary, and it's one of the most publicized races besides Florida, and Kemp's an asshole Florida - Scott's running for the Senate, a Trump Republican beat a moderate in the primary, and a Sanders Democrat beat moderates in the primary, one of the most publicized races besides Georgia Vermont - The legacy of the Rockefeller Republican is still in New England, but the blue wave could get the first transgender governor in American history elected New Hampshire - Moderate Republican governor same as Vermont, could lose because of the national environment Maine - Massive asshole Paul LePage is term limited, looks likely Democrats will win Illinois - Billionaire Democrat JB Pritzker is trouncing incumbent Bruce Rauner in the polls

I hope to God that Kemp doesn't win, I went out and early voted for Abrams and all blue. Considering not only that Kemp is a GOP asshat, but he's been running voter suppression schemes the slimy fuck.

Well that sad, but because RCV installed (for three times) it may take while (2 or 3 state elections) until some Mainers will finally realized they can vote Independent(s) and Independent Green(s) without getting to insanely shamed them to death to keep voting two parties.

I wonder if the Dems will win so hard that Trump actually follows through with his vapid threats and try to illegitamize the results. And then have it blow up in his face.

All it takes is one systematic polling error for either Democrats to win in a massive blowout and take both houses, in the same way it takes one for Republicans to make big Senate gains and get a one seat House majority. Say unexpected youth/minority turnout for Democrats and unexpected Republican base mobilization.

Feels like the calm before the storm. There's been surprisingly little news in the past few days.

ohio had a pretty popular democratic gov. back in 2011 but the economic crash of 08 was too good of a fuel for him to win re-election and kasich took over the next few years, really hoping ohio doesnt stay red

Strongly agree. Kemp is just a big pile of crap in a suit.

A large part of my gut tells me I'm going to be very disappointed by states like Georgia and Florida (and by some extensions, Texas), but I'm still hopeful. Kinda all you can be right now is hopeful.

Do you have an example of such things?

253 house, 49 senate is my prediction. Jeb!

I did my part and voted Dem down the line, but I preemptively apologize on behalf of the fact that my state is still probably going to send Marsha Blackburn to the senate.

Going 228 for House and 49 for Senate

Already voted for Gillum in FL yesterday. Let’s bring it home 🙏

My honest to god predictions: Democrats will maybe have majority in House, but Republicans will keep the senate with a seat or two gained. Also wish us luck in North Dakota for our current ballot measures, almost all of them are pretty needed.

You guys vote in the Dems and we'll vote in Labor next election

I am going to be honest, I am not terribly optimistic about all this, it is going to be a close run thing and as it currently stands it honestly wouldn't surprise me if things went the other way. I am hope I am wrong, but I am worried I'll wake up the morning after the results are in and just switch on to see Trumps shit eating grin as he manages to win again.

223 and 50. Just enough to squeeze out a definitive majority in the House, but Senate will just barely remain in Republicans' control due to Pence's tiebreaker.

Voted by mail a few days ago. House 244 Senate 48

My mom and I went for our first vote (she only recently became a citizen after living in the US for 30+ years), crossing my fingers for Gillum.

I am riding the Beto train all the way to a purple Texas choo choo.

Let's remove the department of education, destroy all military spending and destroy medicare. THAT WILL FIX IT AND WE CAN HAVE 0% TAXES!

I heard Ted Cruz starts of every morning with a nice bowl of tonsil stones.

Texan users for the love of god get everyone you can to vote for Beto, apparently some Republicans are splitting their ticket just for him.

I'm going to guess that Nate Silver gets his revenge and reclaims the statistician throne, 49 dem seats in the Senate and 233 in the House.

24 hours til the first polls close. Me in 48 hours knows the answers to so many questions that present me has

Beto will probably not win in Texas, most polls have him pretty low.
