CA-39 is looking more and more like a flip as more batches of mail-in votes come in, which is why young kim is  -ing about how counting those ballots is voter fraudi mean poo poo it was only like a week ago that we thought we missed the 10th and 45th and 39th fun fact, on another note: we actually picked up a seat back in the june primary centered around oceanside and held by a republican, because this time around two dems and a shitload of republicans ran and the two dems made it to the primary for whatever reason the dems never contested this seat in 2012, 2014 or 2016 Jerry Manderbilt fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Nov 14, 2018 |

Which is great, because the morning after the election it looked like they only snagged three, with the Republicans holding on to the other three by 51-49 margins. With the late counts, it seem the Dems have taken the other two, and maybe all three, resulting in a run of the table. Those last eight seats will be hard to flip, though - those are some red fuckin' districts. CA-21 looks promising. CA-50 will probably have a Democrat in it before two years are up, but it'll probably flip right back in 2020. I saw there will be something like 104 new members (out of 435) of the House when it convenes in January; it's been a long time since that sclerotic institution saw so much turnover in one cycle.

CA-21 voted for obama and hillary by 10% plus margins, but from what i gather valadao is personally popular in the district to the point where he won the open seat by a landslide even as obama ran away with it in 2012, and apparently is still hanging on in 2018 also this used to be dennis cardoza's district, and you can still see STOP THE CARDOZA CREATED DUST BOWL signs driving down the 5 even though cardoza hasn't been in office for over five years at this point Jerry Manderbilt fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Nov 14, 2018 |

This thread probably needs no additional reasons to hate Tea Party poo poo head Denham but here's a fairly fresh one that really tickled me: in a debate with Harder he stated that the Bay Area causes climate change.

Any fellow Chico/breathing smoke area goons, don't forget to look into winterizing (sealing) your windows. We just did and it's made a world of difference in our place.

Dude get an air filter too if you dont have one the airs gonna be hosed there for a month so it will start sucking to have no fresh air in your residence. I put off getting an ionizer and m y area was orange for solid month iirc. Ive heard different things about the extent of the fire,did it get inside of chico proper?

We've got an air filter going (and strapped a big filter to a box fan as well). It didn't get inside Chico proper; some folks on the east side of the city had to evacuate but I'm pretty sure they're all back now. But yeah, we're figuring to check the air quality for the next month or so. The Carr Fire in Redding earlier this year sent a lot of particles this way as a prelude. Sigh.

Can someone please recommend a brand of air filters/purifiers for me? I never bought one before, but I suspect that this is a good investment given that we can only expect more wildfires in the future.

So, just how Democratic is the state of California these days? https://twitter.com/RussOnPolitics/status/1062549998947196930 As someone who remembers the 1980s and the Deukmejian and Wilson (and Schwarzenegger!) governorships, this really is something. Blue wave could get even bigger https://twitter.com/rpyers/status/1062757796897206272 3.1m votes still to count. Is there any hope for flipping CA-21?

FMguru posted:So, just how Democratic is the state of California these days? The GOP didn’t even try this year. Coupled with Trump’s extreme unpopularity and the fact literally nobody was excited for Cox I’m not surprised Gavbot won in a landslide. In many ways, Schwarzenegger was the last hurrah of the Cali GOP. He was exceptionally liberal (for a Republican) and very charismatic. I doubt the levers of power will ever be in their hands again except if they completely drop their socially conservative platform and focus their energies on pandering to rich liberals on taxes and more handouts for property owners.

California mail in ballots can be postmarked on Election Day, not three days prior. I’m a dick that mailed my ballot at 5pm on Election Day, and it was accepted. Woop.

The last thing I want is to emulate that idiotic mess in Florida where they have these strict deadlines and a million legal challenges over whether or not you can count a ballot if it's been three whole days since the election. The county offices have a month to submit final results, and since none of these people generally take their seats until January anyways I don't see the problem.
