So much winning since Baldy was elected.
The right was known as running on morality and no deficits. President is a serial adulterer and the last budget adds to the deficit. The midterms could get ugly.

how many total seats are there?

Forgot to give Lamb credit for winning a district, Trump won by 20 points over Shillary.
I don't know about you Trump Lick Spittles but I am tired of winning.

It marked the first time in 23 years that a liberal candidate who wasn't an incumbent won a seat on the high court.

So much winning!

iirc, a couple of the early ones, but they were much more competitive then the districts would have normally been.

UPDATE

Linda Belcher, a Democrat, won the special election for Kentucky's House District 49 on Tuesday with 3,386 votes. Rebecca Johnson, a Republican, received 1,561 votes, according to official results from Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes.

This was in a district where Trump won 72% of the vote. I can't wait to see the shellacking the republicans receive later this year. Trump's rating fell to 37% btw lol

rebbeca johnson complained of voter fraud, and said it was like a third world country, her husband previously had the seat, he killed himself over molestation charges.
he was the nutter who was investigated for arson on his own church, accused of molesting a minor, and compared barack and michelle obama to monkeys.......and claimed falsely to adiministering the last rites to victims after 9-11,read this link , its a doozy, and remember after this shitshow he was elected.

Arizona 8th is up tonight. Republican should be winning this easily in Sheriff Joe country, but there's interest in seeing how much of the gap the Dem can close:


primer: https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...-know-about-the-arizona-8th-special-election/


Early results:

<1% reporting 0/143 precincts

(R) Debbie Lesko 52.9% 82,294
(D) Hiral Tipernini 47.1% 73,188

 

[Fawlty]

Election called for Lesko, no surprise. Now let's see how the vote ended up.

 

[Joe]

good breakdown here in this thread

Yeah this district was red and old as hell. Median voter was like 65? ~6 point victory with no scandals, against a Dem with a funny foreigner name, where Trump carried by 21. Another crazy result.

Democrates need to hurry up and elect their dream candidate - lesbian trans Mexican.

 

[12ga.]

Anyone that doesnt think Democrats will trounce Republicans next election isnt paying attention. And enormous storm is Coming this fall.

Democrats are wildly motivated to register their hatred for Trump, moderates are disgusted, and his base is depressed by failure to deliver. I predict both houses of congress go to Democrats.

Shoulda elected someone sane.
