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

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?

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

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 a
" ... a GEMS tabulatorfor Global Election Management Systemwhich is a personal computer installed with Diebold software that sits in a windowless room in the countys election headquarters.
The tabulator is the brains of the system.
It monitors the voting machines, sorts out which machines have delivered data and which havent, and tallies the results.
As voting machines check in and their votes are included in the official count, each machines status turns green on the GEMS master panel.
A red light means the upload has failed.
At the end of Memphiss election night in October 2015, there was no indication from the technician running Shelby Countys GEMS tabulator that any voting machine hadnt checked in or that any votes had gone missing, according to election commission e-mails obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Yet as county technicians followed up on the evidence from Smiths poll-tape photo, they discovered more votes that never made it into the election night count, all from precincts with large concentrations of black voters. ... "
Diebold 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.
"... The method Smith used to catch the problem should be a playbook for any candidate, party or concerned citizen worried about the accurate tallying of their votes:Smith snapped some pictures of printed voting tallies (known as poll tapes) at a high-turnout polling location and then compared the results there to the electronic tabulations.
This is a very good, if labor-intensive, way to check to ensure that votes are being counted correctly.
Smith has created a proof-of-concept program called Fraction Magic, showing how corrupt officials could tamper with GEMS to manipulate election outcomes.
