Political Discussion Thread

I’m watching the 538 liveblog and the NYTs election tracking (infographics!), but I’m about to go to bed. I’ll check back in tomorrow. Have fun if you’re watching.

Lol, I think she’s good, probably shouldn’t derail too much :stuck_out_tongue:

Feeling intrigued at the legal wranglings going on right now re keeping polls open. In the UK there are really strict rules about it, you can’t hang around in line once 10pm passes.

Pennsylvania votes coming in off re-districting that favors democrats. Dem’s go +2 in the past 10 mins bringing their total to +4.

Edit: Flip number 5 in colorodo race.

Edit2: Flip number 6 in colorodo.

Edit3: Flip number 7 in… somewhere.

These are coming in quick now.

Edit 4: Reddit is calling a lot of blue districts in the past two minutes as flips, no official confirmation from ABC, the coverage I’m watching right now.

For the record, we’re now at +10 for dem’s taking the house.

just thought you’d be pleased to see something good happening at home.

Looks like Dan Patrick, he of the pen theft ad shown on John Oliver, isn’t doing well
