**Election Day 2014 - LIVE THREAD**

Free Republic Rocks! | November 4, 2014

[RKBA Democrat]

Happy Election Day everyone! I figured I'd go ahead and get the election day thread started. Polls open on the east coast in a little less than an hour.

Please be sure to post observations of interest if you went to the polls today.

Beckel may start drinking from his flask on camera by next win.

Where are you seeing Beckel? I have not seen him since very early in the evening.

I think I recall Barbara Bush stating there have been enough Bushes.
I concur, wholeheartedly.

Maybe some white republicans that voted for the great black senator in SC (blank on his name right now) should send her some pics.

Love LePage. He has fought the well-oiled leftist machine here in Maine. Real salt of the earth.

Several of the GOP pickups were open seats - no incumbents.

And most all the House members were re-elected, with about 10 GOP pickups (some of them open seats as well).

How is that anti-incumbent!

Juan doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

The Hag will last be known as having been plugged by Slick Willie.

KAY HAGAN CONCEDING DEFEAT IN NORTH CAROLINA

Juan never strays from the dem talking points. I usually mute when he speaks.

Ernst ahead according to Fox. Local news had it right.

We just won NC and IA. Come on! Lets get Alaska, Virginia, maybe knock off Shaheen still.... and then destroy Landfill in a runoff!

[Bettyprob]

Man, the polls were just flat-out wrong in Kansas and Virginia. Orman looks like he never had a chance, but they kept saying he was going to win.

No major problems here: entered, presented ID, voted, left part of my ballot blank—in Dallas Co, most of the candidates are Dems running unopposed. Out in 10 minutes.

Kinda feel sorry for the voter in Bexar Co who had to put up with the malfunctioning voting machine.

As of this post time:

Senate: Republicans have locked up 50 seats, ahead in 3 more
Senate: Democrats have locked up 42 seats, ahead in 2 more

House: Republicans have locked up 203 seats, ahead in 26 more
House: Democrats have locked up 121 seats, ahead in 31 more

Governors: Republicans have locked up 24 seats, ahead in 7 more
Governors: Democrats have locked up 13 seats, ahead in 2 more


I would like to invite folks to use the Los Angeles Times Senate, House, and Nationwide State Gubantorial candidate breakdowns.  It's a fairly good indicator of where things are headed.

Note: Make sure ALL is selected.  Then you can click on Senate, House, or Governors

These categories show current wins and gains.  (Ex: Republican = 44 +4 / Democrats = 38 +2)  Note: + denotes leading in that many races in addition to already locked up

Very, very disappointed that Commie Kuster is going back.

I’m not crazy about Guinta, but I voted for him. Che-Porter has VERY strong presence in the district and is very pro-veteran (except for the part about destroying the country they fought for).
