The Republican is leading by an eyelash, but if that continues its another Senate pickup for Trump and the GOP

The Washington State anti-gun bill is passing with flying colors. The 30-second ads say kids shouldn’t be allowed to buy assault weapons to shoot up schools. Nobody reads about what is really in the 30-pages of the stupid law. Mob rule with these referendums.
Yep and I am glad he voted for Justice Kavanaugh.
It would sure be nice to get rid of Tester
The entire west is going blue at a very rapid pace.
and you know why SENOR!
Rosendale still ahead and by a tiny bit more with 70.4% of precincts reporting.
Please, God, let Tester lose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I don’t mind slow. I don’t know the real reason but I want to believe that they feel they don’t need to waste taxpayer money. Count them as fast as possible without burning $100,000s or millions of dollars on vote counting processes and employees.
Nope it’s ridiculous that 4 a.m eastern time a small state like Montant with under half million votes needs the pony express.

Well that’s a fair point - the votes are scattered far apart in MT and maybe AZ too. I personally believe votes should be counted first in the precinct, in front of an audience from the precinct. The numbers can then be sent to the state in bulk electronically or over the phone, then the ballots repacked in the sealed boxes before sending them to the central location for counting. Meanwhile people can see the tally and track the totals themselves knowing its all been done above board in front of citizens who care about a fair outcome.
Reduces odds of vote stuffing if everyone knows the tally of each precinct. Shouldn’t slow things down much at all as far as calling the elections; they just need to be re-verified per state law. But it would eliminate the “oh we found another box” type stuff that happens a bit too often in various ways. Like the 45,000 absentee votes in Wisconsin which just so happened to come from Milwaukee. Those should be counted first! And also in public eye.
Rosendale up 6700. But if the NY Slimes County map is correct on the votes still out there it looks like Tester could close the gap if not pull ahead.
AP and NY Times seem to have live updates. Montana SOS website is hopeless.
ABC has Rosendale up 7431 (50-48) with 80% of “expected votes” reporting.

Agreed!
100% correct.
He took the safer investment option and it paid off.
With the senate safely secured for the next two years and RINO Ryan gone, Trump is now free to thrash and pummel pelosi and the house members and start building up pro Trump candidates in winnable seats for 2020.
Thanks Paul Ryan you gutless wonder!
Until the Republican Party has a propaganda network to rival that of the Dems, don’t expect much. The Republican Party concedes masses of young voters to the Dems without a whimper.
And let’s see Nancy govern. Hopefully this pacified the ‘Mob’ and we can get back to some civility. I hope Thomas retires in December and Trump puts on another young Conservative to the Cory. Overall a great night. We got bishops and rooks, the RATs got pawns.
The Senate is likely safe for maybe 8 more years !!!
