2022 Midterms Results

Might as well start it. Not many surprises so far, except the Senate no longer leans Republican, and is now a tossup/lean democratic. Of course, it's gonna take a few days to get results, and there will then be a few weeks of lawsuits...
Beto doing surprisingly well in TX thus far, but I didn't watch the results too closely their last few elections, so this might be expected.
I do really like the GOP's message of taking back the state from...*checks notes* 27 years of GOP dominance.
Very high turnout.

Growing up, voting, civic duty, these things mattered little to me. Now for the first time in American history 300+ candidates running deny the past presidential election was legitimate. Many of them tout how if they are elected, they are, and I quote," make sure republicans never lose another election again."
I understand there have always been complaints about our voting system, there are, but to attack them as downright fraudulent because you lost, is the most unamerican thing an American can do. Our voting system trumps all candidates and party lines. Each vote counted is an Americans opinion on who represents them best, that is sacred.
I hope whoever wins red/blue doesn't do what the media has been running they'll do. I hope voting policies become more progressive, expansive, and are not snuck into private phone calls to each other looking to find 11,780 votes, which is by the way one more than we have.
Anyway, if you exercised your civic duty today and voted, congratulations and thank you for taking part in our democracy. There's so little talk of how we move forward for a better future together. Its all-political sides that is horse shit for how we are going to actually plan and build a better life for us and those that come after we are dead.
I took a moment at the booth to feel appreciation for the death and sacrifices made so I can plop down and circle in a choice. I hope that in 50 years Americans and other countries can do the same for their leaders. That is not to say the system doesn't need a critical eye, there's room for improvement.

Aside from Florida it does not appear that there is a red wave.
Some surprises: Grassley may not win the Iowa senate and Republican control of the house is no longer a sure thing.

I've tried for the last two years to have as many conversations as possible about my political views with friends/family. It is simply terrifying to have the sort of hours long talks that we do. The shit I have heard is below what children lie about

Steve Kornacki is fucking amazing. He seems to know the vote counting process in every county.

Whatever happens this is looking like the worst performance for the opposition party in the midterms in recent memory

A judge in a Houston polling place was refusing to sign ballots and saying she was going to order the doors closed at 7pm on the dot, stopping people in line from voting, which is a crime. She appeared to be shuffling random papers. ACLU is on it.

Woah, holy shit, WI is now a tossup with a bunch of votes still counting in Milwaukee. PA is a dead heat without half of Philly+suburbs. AZ, GA, NV still tossups.
NYT is right on the line between tossup and Dem senate, and lean GOP for house.

NC was supposed to be like, 3-11 in the house based on gerrymandering alone. 5 dems and counting.

The ungerrymandering of New York may be the determining factor in this election.

4% left in Georgia mostly in democratic districts. It’s gonna be a close call whether warnock can break 50% and avoid a runoff

Good to see this thread here.
The world is begging for the Democrats to win.
