So is the issue here the incompetence, or the likelihood that the counts have probably been hosed with a lot?

Broward county is a Dem stronghold, I'm leaning towards technical fuckup/incompetence.

Considering the yokels are all pumped up about hating brown people in their 90%+ white podunk towns, don't think that's going to happen.

So Florida is still Florida, Democratic Senators got wiped out as semi-expected (except Manchin), and there are a ton of good-news stories.

Sure beats earlier today when the 538 Now-cast went to like 40% chance of a Democratic House.

You know, normally I defend her for being able to whip votes and being a better speaker than Ryan was, but hearing this, gently caress that. It's time for a new speaker, get the gently caress out of the way Pelosi.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

She's really really really lovely.

Rome didn't (usually) burn down in a day. Maybe your family is too far gone, but not everybody is. "gently caress entire swaths of the electorate" is why the Democrats will probably not take full control of the federal government for 20+ years. They keep hanging their hats on issues like gun bans (the GA candidate calling AR15s weapons of mass destruction, etc) which just turns people away. It's Hilldawg putting coal miners out of work every drat time.

This is where the Democrats need to do some research and find places worth throwing grassroots efforts at. The country isn't divided into Far Left, Near Left, and the KKK.

Yep all these mythical moderate conservatives.

e: oh and the candidate in GA is going to lose to massive and blatant voter suppression by her opponent not because she said mean things about a gun Jesus Christ :xd:

So theres a good chance Connecticut is going the way of Massachusetts and electing a Republican Governor over a very liberal state. The night is early and our election infrasturcuture is terrible but with 40% reporting the Republicans have a 4% lead. Dan Malloy was in fact one of the worst succdems ever but its still indicative of how terrible a campaign his democratic replacement ran.

Also the independent candidate taking 4% of the vote.

The fact that the hick fucks of Texas could vote for Cruz over O'Rourke is irredeemable.

This country has way too many loving hicks.

And my own Florida looking like it's voting for that racist piece of poo poo DeSantis!

Between North Carolina and Florida wish I could have grown up with family from places that aren't loving cesspools.

Gerrymander the gently caress out of every state house Democrats take. Crank their poo poo up to 11, bend them over a barrel and rawdog them back with it no-lube style. Then when it's locked in place after 2020 extend the "olive branch" of "Yeah that sure sucks doesn't it mother fuckers? Tell you what, let's all pass laws so that next time around when we do the 2030 census we all have independent councils for redistricting, and we can bring civility back to this process we just dicked you over with OK?"
