I'm glad something finally went well. Great job, people who actually did stuff for these wins.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Now should we hope Roy Moore stays on the ballot for a potential Democratic win, or want him out because the mere possibility that he'd win regardless is still not worth it? Remember when people wanted Trump to win the primary for an easy general win?

empty whippet box posted:Surely it will wind up being far more than 12 points, I mean, come on, only 12 points for being outed as a pedophile? As much as I would like to believe otherwise, the most important political issue to the vast majority of Americans is "Do you have an R or a D next to your name?", with all of reality being viewed through through the answer to that question. I think you will find that his R makes child molestation not only less bad than anything a democrat has done, but potentially a good thing.

Absurd Alhazred posted:What's an incorrect ballot? It's a ballot for a different district than the one that is supposed to be given. Basically, your vote only counts in the district that you live in, but in this case the options given to you on election day are for the district neighboring you rather than your own. Since so many people don't really research elections and just vote party line, this can get by a lot of people without notice and end up with a lot of votes ending up with people they can't vote for rather than people they can. End result is a lot of invalid votes and no good way to resolve the issue.

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.

We've talked a lot of poo poo about the needle moving tonight but it has stayed firmly in Jones' side outside of like 10 minutes early in the count. The lead has been extended to almost 9000 votes, keep pushing that lead!

Excited to see everyone who came out for Moore attempt to distance themselves from him as though they didn't support a pedophile who yearned for the days of slavery.

evilweasel posted:uh, all house seats are 'up for grabs' in 2018, the whole house gets elected every 2 years. I don't know what those seats specifically are, but there are almost certainly over a hundred below R+15, not just the ones you have listed there. Oh sorry Im a dumbass. e: those are seats with retiring incumbents, maybe I'll learn to read some day.

Best to do everything you can before you get to the literal coin flip, hopefully it works out.
