Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Just saw in Missisippi the Dem governor canidate is anti abortion and pro gun. So gently caress that Yup yup. We yearn for a candidate as leftist as Buttigieg. The third party candidates are all right, as far as I'm aware. The race is coming down to the expected 55/45 split that is the usual for state-wide elections.

Sydin posted:Metcalfe County is the only precinct left in Kentucky that isn't 100% in. Bevin currently leads it with 2,185-1,413 with 92.3% reporting. There's no way that remaining ~8% will get him 5,800 votes he needs to make up the difference. Why is it always down to these comically tiny margins though Why are we split so freakishly down the middle as a populace

In case you were curious Fox News doesn't seem to realize there were elections today. Apparently Democrats and the media are working with the Mexican Cartels and China to bring down Trump and Jesus or something.

My apologies if that was a silly question, it can sometimes be hard to unpack what exactly people consider distinguishes a Republican from a Democrat aside from larger hot-button issues such as the second amendment and abortion. Especially now, considering how keen the GOP is (has been?) to crowd out anybody who doesn't steadfastly follow the Trump administration's lead.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Huh, that election tightened up a close while I wasn't paying attention for the last hour. What't the threshold for a recanvas/recount? Isn't one. He'll definitely demand a recanvas. They'll just make the voting machines recount the votes, the same numbers will pop up and nothing will change. It costs the state money, it doesn't cost the person asking for the recanvas anything. Then he can pay for a recount to be done. Bevin has already spent a poo poo ton of money on this campaign, so he'll probably do that too. After that, he can file an election contest with the courts, again on his own dime. He's already claiming that there were irregularities with the election process, so maybe he's planning on going this route.

Hey, so it's not Kentucky level news, but lemme talk a bit about the Philadelphia elections. It was a municipal election. City council, judges, other judges, more judges, and the mayor. This is an election everyone in the city knows doesn't matter, because the Democrats will sweep everything and the republicans will get their three pity seats on the council. This time four years ago, I had a turn out of 48 in my district, and spent most of it napping. Two hundred and nine people voted! God drat. People were excited to get out and vote today. I've completely lost my voice from shouting nonsense at the public and as far as I can tell, the same happened everywhere in the city. There was no big get out the vote effort--right now, the vote WANTS to get out.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Also the Dem probably wouldn’t refuse Obamacare for his state out of sheer spite. The Republican Insurance Commissioner who wrote and submitted an Obamacare exchange is winning by the biggest margin so far. He got overruled, of course. Even if Hood wins, he won't have the authority to expand Medicaid. That's still up to the legislature. Also, no joke, any serious statewide candidate that's pro choice and pro gun control is going to have serious assassination attempts. You need a no kidding John Brown I want to die making this happen person if you want to hear those positions out loud.

I remember when she won in 2017, her victory speech started off with all the historic moment stuff before veering off onto how the roads suck and teacher pay. She’s god drat inspiration of great campaigning and I’m glad she won.

Fox News is portraying it as "AP has just reversed their calling the race to too close to call" and emphasizing Bevins not conceding. Is the bit about AP true? I couldn't tell looking at AP's site. Even if one candidate doesn't concede why don't the news orgs call it when all the votes are in and counted?
