Primary total voters at my precinct: ~350
2021 citywide total voters at my precinct: ~450
Current total with three hours to go: 590
2020 general election: 730

As of 10PM EST, I don't see a single election caller saying it's a red wave. Outside of Florida, Democrats are winning a few toss-ups (Spanberger), while winning Republican reaches (CO-SEN) just aren't close. But Republicans don't need a wave, so it's still a senate toss-up with a heavily favored house flip. Georgia's probably iffy and trending runoff due to the libertarian pulling 2%, who knows on that one.

I had an idea that things might go good in Michigan with the obscene turnout, but I had no idea that it could be enough to flip the state House *and* Senate. They really shouldn't have accused McMorrow of being a kiddie groomer, that basically ended up flipping both chambers of the statehouse. The Michigan Democrats' four-year plan to uncrack the state gerrymanders with the redistricting commission has been an absurd success in all ways.

Is this a good or bad thing?

Kemp (Republican) won by eight and Abrams only got 46%. Warnock has no business being in the election with an electorate that red, so it was medium-surprising that Kemp couldn't drag Walker over the line.

Now, who the gently caress knows what the December 6th electorate is going to look like, if it's again for Senate control, and how much Donnie depresses/juices things as he lumbers around his presidential bid.

NV-SEN is likely to take forever:

https://twitter.com/RalstonReports/status/1590503251387961344

Ralston estimates that Democrats would probably be safe at a 100K remaining amount in Clark, but it's 84K. So, probably going to end up a squeaker of some type, woo!

Edit: and if it's real real close, it could go all the way through NEXT Saturday. Mail-ins count if they're postmarked Tuesday, which means they can be counted until Saturday, then provisionals (5K in Clark) get counted and more curing goes on. Wheeee!

Ballot curing is basically why all of the MAIL BALLOTS ARE INSECURE AND HACKABLE AND CHEATABLE SCAMMING DEMOCRATS is bullshit nonsense because through some magic the signatures on the envelopes get compared to an original record, and flagged if they don't match.

On top of that, ballots that aren't signed or dated immediately get shoved aside as non-voted until cured. It's a big issue in Pennsylvania, as state law on curing basically delegates it to the localities. So the big cities contact the people that gently caress up, and the rurals don't bother, or Republican local politicians get PISSED that the localities actually give a gently caress about votes counting.

Probably flips to CCM in tomorrow's Clark batch. All the remaining votes (55K) are mail ballots, so she's in the driver's seat. It's done when Clark drops their next batch (tomorrow?).

Also EVERY SINGLE election-denier Secretary of State lost in any semblance of a competitive race. Every single one. Republicans made a lot of jerking off motions at the "democracy is on the ballot" line, but voters sure believed it.

Good projection of outstanding NV-SEN vote, with Laxalt in the lead by 800:

https://twitter.com/RalstonReports/status/1591438332352831488?t=17bIqDwzrrgT2mFdT-uMnw&s=19

Projection is that Laxalt will probably pick up 1100, but CCM will pick up 2800, putting CCM in the lead by 900. Clark looming large! Also why the Culinary Union is going at full speed to contact their members with ballot curing requirements.


A.o.D. posted:

51 isnt redundant, it significantly reduces Manchin's ability to gently caress around.

Probably fair, but Sinema is also a gently caress and with the House potentially being decided by maybe a vote or two, it's likely that Congress overall isn't getting much done that's heavily partisan. Things were hard enough with a five-vote Democratic House lead and the next one is unlikely to be that high for either party!
