sirtommygunn posted:Very excited for the 2018 elections considering how close this has turned out. I don't know much about anything but if things are this close in a state election of a bastion of conservatism like Alabama it seems like there's a promise of a big wave for Democrats next year. 2018 is all good and I hope Dems win in a huge wave, but I just hope we can keep up the momentum to win 2020 so we can fix the gerrymandering and won't need 60% margins of victory to win half the available seats...

Told y'all it's gonna jiggle back and forth until we have full counties in. gently caress Alabama for not reporting by precinct like civilized places. Also 538 is shitposting about horses cuz they're as stressed as we are.

"Jones is ahead by a few points" Oh, that's good "But less than 1% of precincts are reporting" Oh, that's bad "But he's running ahead of his margins in several key counties" Oh, that's good "But Moore is running substantially ahead in Limestone" Oh, that's bad

If Moore wins it’s a lateral move from Jeff Sessions. If he loses, then we get Jones. But the story here is not about whether Moore wins, it’s that there has to be a question mark attached to that instead of a period. Have hope after Virginia friends. Just maybe not for Alabama.

Dave Wasserman posted:Limestone County now has 25 out of 26 precincts reporting, and Moore’s lead has shrunk back down to 19 percent, less than his 22 percent benchmark. The reason it’s so difficult to tell what’s happening so far: Alabama’s precincts are so racially polarized that quick swings are the rule, not the exception. quote:Alabama’s precincts are so racially polarized that quick swings are the rule, not the exception. quote:quick swings are the rule, not the exception.
