Election Results- post them here!

[wildrice]

Chuck Grassley was reelected in Iowa. He is 89 years old. He will be 95 when his term is over. What the heck?

[Poeticxpassion]

pixy0stix, what are your thoughts on the others props in Colorado?

Nate Cohn feeling good about Fetterman because he’s doing better than Biden.

Assuming he … lives that long. Not to be crass but my goodness.

I had hoped the Dem might pull out a win here too. Pundits seemed to think it was possible given Grassley age and things, but alas. Gas is expensive, so 🤷‍♀️

I’m so mad about F’ing Vance. I really thought Tim Ryan would pull this off.

[biscoffcookies]

Why am I the way I am? I am incredibly exhausted and desperately need to sleep. I cannot do anything about the election results. One would argue it would be better to just pull the bandaid off in one fell swoop tomorrow morning then get results peacemeal like this. And yet here I am. Ugh.

Kemp projected winner in GA. 😭

Surprisingly, it looks like all the alcohol ones are going to lose. We liked take away alcohol so much, I thought restaurant delivery would at least make it. I think door dash killed it by supporting it.

Only 41% reporting in SD so far but we are up at 56% on Amendment D and I’m feeling pretty good. It looks like a lot of our better areas haven’t reported yet. Im going to have to go to bed soon though bc it’s too late for this on the east coast.

ETA- should have @@@ for ballot measure content. Sorry!

I’m puzzled that proposition FF is split 55/45 for!

This is free breakfast and lunch for kids at school! I thought for would be much higher.

Colorado

I actually thought it would fail by a lot. I am not low income but free meals were pretty life changing for us and I really hope they come back.

Based on some conversations I've heard, the general sense was "yes, let's support school kids, but is this the most effective way to do it?" (vs. having that money go to more teachers or other resources).

Anyway looks like there's a good chance it wins!

I haven’t been following these state level initiatives super closely so I didn’t know this was on the ballot! Fingers crossed it stays up!

Looks like PA Governor is getting called for Shapiro! No surprise. (He used to be one of my county commissioners!)

Are you me? 😂

As I sit here in bed trying to put my phone down (which is on "bedtime mode" right now and will likely yell at me soon) but I caaaan't.

Hochul called for NY!

Honestly, I think this is an incredible way to support kids. As a school nurse, I see so many kids who come in for stomach aches because they didn’t eat in the morning or for lunch. There are a lot of parents who would qualify for free and reduced lunch who don’t/can’t do it for various reasons. I think this is a great way to keep kids in the classroom!

This surprised me as well. 

I am hoping the housing one can squeak out a win.

THEY CALLED NEW YORK FOR HOCHUL!!!!

I was worried about that one.

[pixy0stix]

CO kept all their D house seats.

We also, kept two R house seats, but those areas are deep red.

Still up in the air, flipping Boeberts seat, and the new seat.

[msmerymac]

ABC also projecting Kathy Hochul wins in NY (I TOLD you so.)

[dove]

AP calling it for Abbott in TX.
Fuuuuck

Bummer.  I wanted wine in the grocery stores.

NC Senate called for Budd. Sigh.

This is one I’ve been staffing for work all year and we spent an insane amount of time and money on it and could really use a win, especially since NC kind of shit the bed. Fingers crossed!

Not a result, but MSNBC’s Twitter page has the “KornackiCam” pinned at the top. For awhile we were watching him check his phone. Then walk around some. something about the fact Kornacki has his own Cam
Like the Pandas at the National Zoo has me giggling.

Exactly. This is why non-educators shouldn’t be making education decisions. School boards are often so out of touch with what it’s like to be in the trenches.

CO is so fucking weird. Legalizing shrooms and not expanding liquor. Lol!

I am so upset about this. Buddy is horrible. It is not looking good for the judges in NC either.
