Well, Northam is currently leading by over 13% with about 40% of the vote in, so it looks like he won

When a gerrymander dam breaks like this, does it tend to be long-term or does it require waves every election to maintain?

Maintainance, but if they take back the house, they can get rid of a bunch of awful barriers that make it harder to vote

Do we have any interesting dem candidates yet? Is Roem eligible? How about that Sikh guy, he seems cool. Let's have a low drama infrastructure-focused president. The 2024 ad campaign writes itself.
"The republicans have been wasting their breath complaining about my turban/pronouns as well as the national debt, conveniently forgetting that the last two republican presidents expanded that debt to pay for needless wars and tax cuts on the rich. Meanwhile, I've spent four years advocating for repair -- roads, bridges, dams, and taxes. My name is [name] and I'll see you next year."

People just getting elected to mayor and to state houses aren't going jump to presidential material in 3 years, they need time to work up the chain

Yeah, that article basically says the DNC was doing everything they could that wouldn't make the newspapers to help out but desperately did not want credit before the race was over.

So, it seems like that is the lesson they took from Ossoff, because that really became a huge national party battle because they got into it so prominently

So the ballot is actually a little bit more ambiguious than previously reported:

https://twitter.com/JWPascale/status/943559301737713665

Democrats are arguing that because he put an X through Gillispee, you can't assume the slash was to void the vote for Simonds. I do not know if this means it's coming down to the merits of voter intent, or if the judges had them argue that point as well and are deciding both the argument about if they can hear the challenge and what the intent was at the same time.

Oh god, its loving pregnant chads all over again
