I wouldn't put that in the "good news" category, but it's at least a hold of a Senate seat.

The problem is the ranked choice voting.

The Democrat in third place has 9.2% of the vote. If the Democrats put Murkowski as their 2nd choice thinking she's the closest to being a Democrat, then Murkowski will win the second round of voting.

I really can't see true Democrats putting a conservative as their second choice when they know that Murkowski swings their way every now and then.

Counting votes in Milwaukee? That can’t be good for Johnson.

What’s going on with Lake and Laxalt??

Floridians were bewitched by the thought of voting for Andrew Gillum as the first black Florida governor.

Part of DeSantis' voter turnout today may be a whiff of guilty relief by those 2018 voters who realized what a bullet they dodged when Gillum was found six months later in a hotel room with a gay prostitute and another man who overdosed on crystal methamphetamines.

He was almost their governor.

They are behind in mail-in votes, but election day in-person votes haven't been counted yet.

And Miss Lindsey threatening a nationwide abortion ban didn’t help matters. And he knew what he was doing when he said it.

Walker in Georgia has underperformed vs every single Republican running statewide in Georgia. They all won. If he managed to keep Warnock under 50% I don’t expect he’ll win a run off. Voters won’t show up for him but hoards will show up for Warnock. If anything, Kemp almost pulled him over the goal line.

Most of the five precincts still to report appear to be Warnock territory.

Candidates matter.

Those of us who like Trump have a lot of reflection ahead about whether it’s time to move on from him for the good of the movement and the party and the country. In high profile competitive races his picks didn’t do so well.

Earlier in this thread, people were talking about preferring to wind up in bed with Murkowski ... and now you’re talking about Murkowski the Capitol Hill swinger

With Murkowski, some things you just can’t unsee

When Graham did that, I thought some deep stater paid him to... it was one of the most stupid political moves I’ve ever seen.

Probably a lot of that. It’s why he hasn’t accepted any responsibility for his loss in 2020.

You are as a country what your electorate says you are and it’s not good. Either the electorate has lost their minds or the results are being rigged.

I don’t know what to think, but this country is in for some really hard and rough times.

There is no way that 81 million people voted for Biden.
