I voted straight Republican (well, of course!)

NH1

Weather: Drizzle 50°

Turnout: Highest I’ve ever seen

[cyn]

Yes! Squarsh ‘em good!

[blondiegoodbadugly]

Thanks for the great news. :) (even if it is only 1%)

I just came home after voting straight R (which included Mike Braun)!

[jjotto]

‘Jungle’ primary. Top two face off in general election. Used in the South to keep blacks from winning.

[rushmom]

Is this a surprise flip to the Rs or was this expected? How about the margin of victory for him; what does that tell us? Thanks

[outofsalt]

I guess they split their closing times?

Indiana: 6 p.m. (6 p.m. and 7 p.m. EST)
Kentucky: 6 p.m. (6 p.m. and 7 p.m. EST)

Get ready! 2018 MIDTERM ELECTION results.

[cableguymn]

now used to keep republicans from winning.

[jjotto]

Early indications favor GOP. It’s a new world. Even the MSM is having trouble spinning.

There is no flip, there is no margin of victory, only 1% of the Indiana vote is in. Strongly recommend posting actual data as opposed to hopeful speculation.

IN is a Red State so this is a landslide win.

Polls showed the race to be tight.

[TigerClaws]

Drudge headline saying blue wave.

He’s gone total cuck with Trump in office.

[bIlluminati]

It was a surprise a week ago, When Braun finally pulled even with Donnelly. Too early to hang a number on it, but 1-5% better than RCP average seems likely. IOW, Reps take 220-225 seats and hold the House.

[weston]

Haha. That’s awesome!

[Beatthedrum]

Unfortunately, it’s hard to argue against what you are saying. We have a public school system that has been brainwashing kids to hold positive impressions of socialism. We have a MSM that constantly attacks the wealthy and spews on and on about the disparity in income, how the rich need to pay more, so the rest of the people can have better lives... America’s steady move towards more government, socialism will continue.

[goldstategop]

Trump ran up the same margin in 2016 and won the state.

[rainee]

Happy Birthday Laz!!

Just voted in Orange County, CA
Line out the door. Went to grocery store afterwards & line even longer when I drove back by. I’ve lived in this precinct for almost 15 years and busiest I’ve ever seen for a midterm vote.
All ages voting too

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

These early results are amazing. Braun is not only outpacing Mourdock big time, he’s even outdoing Senator Todd Young’s performance from 2016 in a few places.
