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?

Are we really that divided?
Or was this a win that was too big to rig and the real margin not anywhere that close...
Yes, Magenta( Red and purple) States REALLY are THAT divided from Blue States. And the blue States are losing Electoral and House votes in 2030The future is in our favor.
She does have that ‘crazy as a bag of hammers’ look about her.
The House typically goes to the party not in the White House during the mid terms. I suspect that is because the side out of power is energized to get it back while the party in power is fat dumb and happy their guy is #1.
Mail in ballots and Nashville kept it close. It’s the big blue city in a red sea of a total district, problem. She hands down won the one large county in early and mail in ballots, of which I am confident they will keep finding in the trunks of rental car returns and street storm drains.
I was looking at the detail by county, and it doesn’t add up to as close as it’s being reported. Does anyone have detail data?
“Are we really that divided?”
Yes. We are. Davidson County is the heart of Nashville and 30,000 voted for a woman that hates them.
The leftists and government bureaucrats vs. The Deplorables, and it ain't gonna be pretty, full of focus group messaging, rainbows, and media campaigns. It will be a lot of bleeding out and blunt force trauma.
Good news, but it’s sick that it was even this close.
This afternoon I saw a 30-ish female, quite normal in appearance, interviewed on the street by FOX. She said she was voting for Behn BECAUSE Behn was so radical.
Matt Van Epps GOP 93,536 53.9% Aftyn Behn DEM 78,080 45% Jonathan Thorp IND 905 0.5% Teresa Christie IND 619 0.4% Bobby Dodge IND 213 0.1% Total 173,502
Send the dog catcher after her and tell him to take her to a rescue shelter. Woof! Woof! MAGA AMERICA! We Don’t Need NO Queens!
Behn won Davidson county by 23,000. That’s a tough gap to close. Outside of Davidson, downtown Nashville, the race wasn’t close at all.
High score on crazy, low on hot. Laz?
I think she meant RATicle.
Yes, that’s right.
8 points is not a “close” race, as the MSM is telling us.
Folks..no surprise here. All 23 thousand in Davidson who voted for her work or attend Vanderbilt University.
The southside of Nashville and Franklin is conservative and she lost bigly there......
Yeah, those wacky pollsters got it right AGAIN!!
A Hillaryesque lunatic!
Well, that being said she was caught on audio trash-talking the city. The district does include northwest Nashville which is (or used to be) minority area.
It could be they weren’t enthusiastic about her trash talk, but we’ll see.
