Gov of MD looks like it's going to Moore, THANK FUCKING GOD.

It was already called for Moore. 😊

Here is something to be happy about- in KY we had a constitutional amendment saying there was no constitutional right to abortion and it failed by a healthy margin!

Chuck Todd just called Wes Moore a millennial (like Sarah Huckabee Sanders who they called the Arkansas governorship for) and I am yelling “he’s not a millennial!” (He’s 44.) /tangent

Zeldin is looking to lose NY.

I am afraid to trust this given it’s still on the early side.

Yay, have they called it?? I wrote postcards to voters on that one!!

North Carolina was looking good for Senate for awhile but now the Republican is up 2 with 71% reporting and NYT predicts he will win. :-(

I'm holding out hope that it looks like only half of CC is reported. But it doesn't look good, no. Fuuuuuuuck.

So apparently he needs about 35% from the 5 boroughs to have a chance or so they say.

Michigan is starting to worry me. I expected Prop 3 (the reproductive freedom proposal) to pass overwhelmingly, with plenty of Rs crossing over to vote for it even if they stuck with voting R for everything else on the ballot. But so far, Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Prop 3 all have roughly the same percentage voting D vs. R (or yes vs no in the case of Prop 3); all are roughly 53% vs. 43%, give or take a couple points depending on the race. I know it’s still very early, but this is looking much closer than I want it to.

CO re-elected Polis (D)

Not a surprise, he was crushing the R candidate in polls. He's pretty much universally liked here.

Oklahoma governor called for Kevin Stitt. I had been hoping the Dem candidate (who was basically just a more moderate Republican who switched parties to challenge him) might pull it out, as it had looked tight and Stitt is terrible.

I admit I’m disappointed by this. Stitt is one of the most hateable govs in the country.

Fox has called Abbott for TX but Harris County (our largest) isn’t done yet. So much conflicting reporting and it’s really enraging.

I am surprised they called this already, honestly. I know what the likely result is, but well over half of precincts in Tulsa and OKC haven’t been counted yet.

[biscoffcookies]

I am mad at myself for letting my hopes get up based on those commentators saying the polls were off (because of reasons that sounded reasonable) and high young voter turnout.

How the fuck is Stacy Abrams NOT ahead in Georgia?

Not yet. WaPo is showing only 13% of the votes counted.

[aspentosh]

Very happy to see Wexton in VA held her seat!

I’m so worried that I feel nauseous.

She was always behind in the polls.

I want shake all these split ticket voters. Like Sununu has already been called governor of NH but Hassan (D) is currently up for Senate. WTF. I recognize that in an ideal world split ticket voting could actually be a desirable thing (it suggests the system isn’t so polarized for example) but NOW IS NOT THAT TIME.

I feel sick Walker has pulled ahead in Georgia. 67% reported and only up by .1% but still. Regardless of outcome IT SHOULDN’T BE THIS CLOSE.

[okla]

Even worse than the OK governor being re-elected, his fellow corrupt buddy is going to be the state public school superintendent. This dude is crazy. CRT this, litter boxes in schools for kids who identify as cats batshit. I hate it here.

Yay! I was worried 6mo-1yr ago because it seemed like so many people were mad about covid restrictions being either too tight or too loose, but his opponent seemed pretty bad closer to the election. I have been totally ignoring polls so I didn't know what to expect.

[pixy0stix]

CO also has a new House seat (brand new district). Caraveo (d) is leading with 55% of the votes in.

Her opponent, kirkmeyer, spent some serious cash on tv ads.

[beetea]

MSNBC just announced that Tish James won. 😍

I’m not seeing it officially called but I don’t know why. No is 90k voted ahead which is about 8% with just under 70% in. Voting ended good 3 or 4 hours ago (depending on time zone). People I know who are deeply involved in government are saying it’s a done deal even if the news isn’t.

Kirkmeyer reminds me of the Turtle.  I wanted to slap her every time I saw one of her commercials.

CO Bennet (D) senate incumbent is projected to win.

[pixy0stix]

I don't want to jinx it, but Boebert is losing with 63% of the votes counted.

[cous0226]

John King says it’s not gonna be a red wave of like 30 seats or
more if that makes us feel better.
