What’s this about there still being hundreds of thousands of early/absentee votes to count in Arizona? Is this true?

A 9 point win is a wave. You can’t spin that. It’s the largest margin of victory in a midterm since the 70s. It’s just that our Senate system is broken because of the Red States. But we broke through the gerrymandering and picked up crucial governships. Trust me, if we had pulled it out in Florida people would be feeling a whole lot different about everything.

Rinkles posted:also it's not 9 according to NYT It’s projected to go over 9 once the millions of CA votes come in I believe. It’s like how Trump was leading the popular vote for like an entire day after the election until CA finished counting.

We know for a fact from the info released last week that the House Dems are going to introduce a slew of bills that include fixing the VRA.

Bicyclops posted:That's what's so frustrating is how close some of them were! Like, we almost, almost kicked out Ted loving Cruz! The Beto loss won’t keep me up at night because 4 points in an electorate as large as Texas is a mile wide. But Nelson losing by half a point is MADDENING. Having 47 or even 48 senators if Sinema pulls it out feels MUCH better going into 2020.

Anyone know how many votes that Gillum is claiming to be down by now? Because I’m pretty sure they’re claiming it to be less than the official tally so far.

He’s not gone. It’s just that since Sessions is gone the new AG is in charge since he hasn’t recused himself. Nothing has happened to Rod.

The Glumslinger posted:I posted a big write up in State and Local thread, I'll cross post it I don’t think there’s a path to 50 there if we’re stuck at 46. We really want Sienna to pull it out in AZ and get us to 47. And Ughh Nelson losing by just 30,000 votes is maddening. If we had 48 right now we’d be in a great position to take control of everything in 2020.

The Glumslinger posted:It really sucks how badly we blew everything in 2016 because that should be our friendliest map That means we can take the Senate by a good margin in 2022 if we can keep momentum up after winning in 2020. I don’t know if that’s possible though. We NEED Boomers to start dropping like flies between now and then. At least the 18-29 demo is getting significantly more active.

Lightning Knight posted:Yeah I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with Fulchrum, gun control is a serious issue, we live in a country where school shootings are weekly and gun violence is daily for marginalized people, and gun organizations like the NRA are right-wing propaganda machines. Democrats can't abandon the issue. Framing the issues against handguns is tougher because you have a ton of people who buy into the whole “useful for self defense” angle. It’s easy to convince them that people shouldn’t own a military grade rifle but shouldn’t granny get to keep her little side piece in her purse when she has to walk through the rough neighborhood?
