It's all over but the shouting. And the voting. Tonight, we find out whether Democrats caught Republicans napping in a special election for a congressional district that Donald Trump won by 22 points a year ago. Or did a late Trump intervention manage to save a much-needed House seat?

Trump won this district by 22 points. Glad we won but low margin is concerning.
Yeah...demcommies missed their cheat numbers
Kamahala, the Jamaican Voodoo Hoodoo gave Aftyn Dogface 1.5 million. The RATS poured more money into this district than they did last time with Trump.
If Republican and Independent voters weren’t as disgusted with Republican members of Congress, the margin would have been greater. Not much enthusiasm to get out and stand in line for a bunch of RINO do-nothings.
On only fans maybe
Laz is conspicuous by his absence, which should answer your question. :)
It’s good to know that Nashvillains hate Nashville and Country Music. They are the reason people like Aftyn hate Nashville.
😆
That’s not an appropriate comment for a family friendly site.
the real story is that polls under estimated the Republican again by several points.
Good observation. An eight point victory is not bad. At least it shows that Republicans will come out to vote.
This is not correct data.
“Laz is conspicuous by his absence...”
Still consulting his Magic 8-Ball.

But how many registered voters are in the Davidson county part of the 7th?
How many voted? And what is the breakdown?
Really? How many Davidson voters are in the 7th? It’s a sliver of the county. Mostly still 5th and a lot now in the 6th.
Are there any current residents of Nashville who were actually born in Tennessee?
The FBI needs to put voter fraud on the top of their lists. Democrats are running with zero ideas and they're acting confident. That reeks of potential fraud.
When those last few votes are counted it will be a 9+ point victory. I wonder if the Dems. will quit calling it close? If they want to say it was closer than Trumps victory, that would be true, but in a Special Election like this a 9+ point victory for a Republican is almost a “landslide”. She won One, that’s one county, and that was Downtown Nashville.
