Tonight on #ElectionTwitter, we have a special elex in Kentucky HD49. It's a district shaped like a heart in Bullitt County (south of Louisville). In 2016, Trump (72%) & Rand Paul (64%) easily carried every precinct there, but the incumbent Dem only narrowly lost. #kypol #hd49

Today is a special #election in Kentucky State House District 49. The seat is vacant due to the suicide of state Rep Dan Johnson. The story behind this seat & this race is kind of insane. We strongly recommend you read our write-up on it:

Well, tonight on #ElectionTwitter, Dems are flipping back a KY legislative seat that gave Trump 72% and Rand Paul 64%...

A Republican state House seat in Tangipahoa Parish, LA, was spared from Democratic takeover in a special election last Saturday. Two Republicans now meet in a March 24 runoff to claim the unexpired term of Rep. Chris Broadwater, a Moderate Republican.

Democrat lost to Mr Johnson last election. His widow was running tonight. Bad GOP choice?

I thought the breed is extinct.

Dem wins.
Critical, blue wave, landmark, special election!

Dem loses.
Inconsequential, unimportant, ignored election.

republicans like trump and paul won’t win by those margins and the dem only lost by 1% in 2016.. Has to be conservative district that has long established dem in place. 2016 was such a wave that she got caught in it.

Dem’s won.

At some point, the GOP is going to have to deal with the reality that they are in deep trouble. Expect Trump to continue to go left in order to serve out his term.

There's no way Johnson's widow was going to win.

She was too tied to her husband's public gaffes.

Sometimes, politics IS local.

Did you really expect the GOP to win this seat with her hubby killing himself over sexual misconduct?

This was the Ky House and not the US House. Good link. Suicides, molestation, etc. in any area would throw it into a tailspin. This sounds entirely about extraneous issues and not about national or even state issues

Watch the LIVE VOTE RETURNS.
IF THE LIVE VOTE COUNT TOTALS START GOING DOWN, YOU KNOW "FRACTION MAGIC" IS BEING USED !

DemocRATS will NEVER leave elections in the hands of the voters again, after Trump won !

STEALING ELECTIONS WITH COMPUTERS and Technology Cybercrimes, watch Bloomberg's Digital Defense November 3, 2016 (19:40).

To better understand "THE MASTER KEY" to stealing elections with computers, watch:
I'LL NEVER TRUST ANOTHER COMPUTER COUNTED ELECTION AGAIN !

Things have changed!

Bennie Smith, a Memphis computer programmer, discovered HOW this is done through aDiebold Election Systems changed its name in 2006 to Premier Election Solutions.
Bloomberg's article titled How to Protect Against Election Day Hacking gives more proof of this by Memphis computer programmer Bennie Smith.
