ELECTION DAY BITCHES Mostly stealing this from those nerds in Vox The things to watch out for quote:Ohio 12th Congressional District, special election: Democrats try to break a 30-year losing streak Balderson likely win, Connor trailing by some 2000 votes with provisional ballots still needing to be counted. quote:Michigan governor’s primary elections: a tight race on both sides for an open governor’s seat Whitmer win! With Abdul the closest candidate to her total. quote:Michigan Sixth Congressional District: a packed field angles to take on Rep. Fred Upton Matt Longjohn win! Will face Upton in Nov. quote:Michigan Seventh Congressional District: a seasoned Democrat and a “Berniecrat” seek to topple a Republican incumbent Driskell win! Will face Walberg in Nov. a few other MI congressional primary races as well Rashida Tlaib wins in the 13th! First Muslim woman to go to Congress after facing no opponents in Nov! quote:Kansas Governor: one of Trump’s biggest allies hopes to walk away with a win Too close to call between Colyer and Kobach! Kelly will face either of them in Nov. quote:Kansas’s Third Congressional District: can a Bernie-style progressive win in the conservative Plains? Davids knocks out all her opponents, wins the 3rd! Will be the first Native American and first openly LGBT congressman from Kansas if she prevails over Yoder in Nov. Gasque in WA is running as a leftist Dem in the 3rd district, rooting for her. ncumbent D Herrera Butler wins the race. Other poo poo happening: A right to work ballot in MO, a three way battle between a centrist councilwoman, a businessman, and a self identified leftist in MI 13th RIGHT TO WORK WINS BY SOME 40 POINTS. WOOOOOOOOOOO! The prosecutor that didn't prosecute Michael Scott's killer was kicked out of office! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Efskueqw1g SKULL.GIF posted:Of note: Shageletic has issued a correction as of 15:23 on Aug 8, 2018 |

Vox has a breakdown that goes into much more detail about today, including the House district primaries. Decision Desk HQ and 538 are good places to check for election updates.

Michigan - 11th District Who do I vote for that stands a chance at knocking out all these chuds running? Or should I vote on the Republican ticket to get some loser to the top that can get trounced? Same question for Governor race.

Not really necessary, after today and next week, we don't really have any more primaries to my knowledge outside the New York gubernational one later on in September. Once all the primaries are done I think we'll get a dedicated thread for the November midterms, somewhat separate from Trump news in the Trump thread

TraderStav posted:Michigan - 11th District As usual my go-to for learning about a race is Ballotpedia as a starting point: https://ballotpedia.org/Michigan%27s_11th_Congressional_District_election_(August_7,_2018_Democratic_primary) I'm a leftist so I immediately saw the Justice Democrats endorsement for Fayrouz Saad so that'd be my vote if I'm voting. She has the best platform of all these candidates. Haley Stevens has the backing of the Clinton insiders, for whatever that's worth to you. For governor, Shri Thanedar is absolutely awful, don't consider him at all. Vote El-Sayed if you're a leftist, vote Whitmer if you hate these perfidious Bernie Brothers. Don't vote for who you think has the best chance! Vote for who you think is the best candidate!: https://twitter.com/curaffairs/status/1026581306451415040

TraderStav posted:Michigan - 11th District I'd def vote for El-Sayed for Governor, as he has the most exciting and potentially positive changing platform *coughmedicareforallcough*. And there's a candidate in the 11th that has been endorsed by Ocasio, Fayrouz Saad, that seems pretty on the level. e: Michigan is likely to be seeing the most blue gains today, so whatever you thought your vote was before, it's worth a lot more now.

https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_oh_080118/ here's the one poll that matters i guess. its a fuckin toss-up in the special in Ohio in an R +7 district that was basically ground zero for Trump support.
