For what it is worth, the polls in my hometown were packed tonight and there were a lot of college students there.

Of course, my hometown is a tiny city and has been gerrymandered into the larger conservative central Virginia mass for the house (state in federal), so who knows how much it will affect anything.

I suggested to the Arlington County Board that they rename Jefferson Davis Highway to the Harriet Tubman Highway to honor the American heroes like Tubman who helped get slaves out of the South on the Underground Railroad

Seriously though, God bless Petersburg. Your city is falling apart, your government almost had to declare bankruptcy thanks to perennial malfeasance, there was briefly talk of your city itself ceasing to exist, but you always come through. :allears:

Two Special Elections To Watch Tonight

States across the country are holding a bunch of special legislative elections today. In the aggregate, the results will give us another check-in on the national political environment. Two of them, however, are worth paying special attention to: the races to represent Utah�s 3rd Congressional District and Washington state�s Senate District 45.

Most of the special elections so far this year have been for state office, so Utah provides us with an opportunity to see whether what we�re seeing on the state level is happening on the federal level. Provo Mayor John Curtis, a Republican, is expected to easily defeat Democrat Kathie Allen in his bid to win the seat left open by Republican Jason Chaffetz. A Dan Jones survey last month put Curtis up 46 percent to 19 percent.

It�s not entirely clear what would constitute a good performance for each party given the results of the past two presidential elections in the district. Mitt Romney won Utah�s 3rd District by 59 percentage points in 2012, but Trump � who performed unusually poorly for a Republican in Utah � won it by only 24 points in 2016. Conservative independent Evan McMullin actually beat Hillary Clinton, who finished with just 23 percent of the vote, in the district. If Allen gets more than 30 percent of the vote, that would probably qualify as a fairly strong showing for a Democrat.

Meanwhile on the West Coast, Democrats will almost certainly gain control of the Washington state Senate if Democrat Manka Dhingra beats Republican Jinyoung Lee Englund in Senate District 45. Dhingra got 52 percent to Englund�s 41 percent in an August primary, which will basically be re-run today but without independent Parker Harris.

A Dhingra victory would mean that every single state legislative body and governorship on the West Coast was controlled by Democrats. It would also cement the West Coast as ground zero for resistance against President Trump, whom local observers believe is a drag on Englund�s campaign.

Yes. She's also somewhere in the top 10 in terms of most vulnerable GOP Representatives, since Clinton won her District by a fairly sizable margin.

*Congresswoman

This is her district:

Gerrymandered to poo poo and includes a lot of liberal Fairfax County.

She barely hung on in 2016 and is one of the top targets for the Dems in 18.

Taking her down is the next fight
