werewolf dictator Member	Tue Nov 06 19:23:30 charlatan nate silver has republican house chances increasing over 6x in course of about half hour [currently gives 3 in 5] http://fiv...018-election-results-coverage/
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Nov 06 19:59:00 Florida is being annoying as usual
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Nov 06 21:31:01 Lyon' Ted predicted winner in Texas... what a shame
werewolf dictator Member	Tue Nov 06 21:33:15 lyin' ted is a good man.. can't blame him if his dad helped kill jfk
Pillz Member	Tue Nov 06 21:36:50 ^whole post is wrong except the part where his dad helped kill jfk
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 06 21:36:58 Romney wins in Utah.
Sam Adams Member	Tue Nov 06 21:37:57 Lyin ted is such a shitty candidate he almost lost to a dem in TEXAS. Everything appears to be as forecast though. In a decent sized rebuke to trump, dems take the house, but gop keeps the senate.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 06 22:33:36 Saw this headline in passing but I'm not going to post the article because I'm going to bed. "Florida passes initiative to restore felons' voting rights" G'Night Mates.
Y2A Member	Tue Nov 06 22:35:55 Dems are picking up some house seats that they aren't supposed to be picking up. Steve KKKing is down right now but not called, the NY Staten island seat went dem, they picked up Yoder's Kansas seat that they have been trying to get forever and most interesting of all they picked up Oklahoma 5th which was completely off the radar.
Y2A Member	Tue Nov 06 22:39:35 Damn it, I bet 218-230, they are probably going to get more. But my individual house bets may get me a small gain. Need Will Turd to lose.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Nov 06 22:56:43 those felons might have been enough to stop Ron 'clearly corrupt just by looking at him' DeSantis and Rick 'the weird bald alien' Scott
Sam Adams Member	Tue Nov 06 23:26:01 What are you looking at? Both florida gop candidates are pretty clear winners at this point
Y2A Member	Tue Nov 06 23:29:32 NJ flipped 3 seats to Dem and one other seat is within 2300 votes (they will have to do a recount). That small margin is what is holding NJ from being a 100% Democratic congressional delegation.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Nov 07 00:40:50 Florida (home of Florida man & Florida woman) has 1.5 million non-violent felons those 2 people winning by <100,000
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Nov 07 04:45:22 Now the question is, will Pelosi be speaker again?
werewolf dictator Member	Wed Nov 07 06:05:50 vox's attempt at calculating effect.. "Had all ex-felons been eligible to vote in Florida in 2016, we estimate that this would have generated about 102,000 additional votes for Democrats and about 54,000 additional votes for Republicans, with about an additional 40,000 votes that could be cast on behalf of either party." http://www...ing-rights-amendment-4-florida [maybe vox writers could be sneaky trying to convince republicans to accept.. but i'll assume good faith attempt here]
Y2A Member	Wed Nov 07 06:28:40 Wrt Florida, two Miami mafia held seats in south fl are gone so it isn't all bad news.
Average Ameriacn Member	Wed Nov 07 07:05:19 DemocRats can't even win against the dead. http://www...a-state-assembly-pimp-brothel/ Dead Brothel Honcho Wins Nevada Election Voters in Nevada just elected a dead pimp to the State Assembly, sort of ... voting in Dennis Hof only 3 weeks after the famous brothel owner died at one his whorehouses. Dennis was still on the ballot as a Republican candidate for the Nevada state legislature, despite being found dead Oct. 16 at his famed Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada ... and he beat out Democratic opponent Lesia Romanov in a landslide. Polling places posted signs alerting voters to Hof's death, but that didn't stop them from voting for the man who made a living running sex ranches. During his campaign, Dennis nicknamed himself the "Trump from Pahrump," in reference to the town where he lived in Nevada ... and he got over 60 percent of the vote in the heavily Republican district he was favored to win. Because a dead man won the election, the seat is still considered vacant and will be filled by the county commissioners, who will select a fellow Republican who resides in the district to serve Dennis' 2-year term.
Dukhat Member	Wed Nov 07 07:53:26 What a boring election night thread. I’m glad I spent it boozing it up and ignoring the results.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Nov 07 10:58:48 Scott Walker was tossed out of Wisconsin, so that's good
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Nov 07 11:18:46 the leads seem to be Rick Scott ~34,000 Ron DeSantis ~58,000 so... bring on the felons! (although Rs will continue to mysteriously win by tiny margins probably)
Sam Adams Member	Wed Nov 07 11:52:39 So... most felons are democrats?
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Nov 07 12:29:02 don't we assume that here? :p the Vox calculations above give ~50k more to Dems so could've made the difference
jergul large member	Wed Nov 07 13:33:18 Sammy Most voters are Democrats.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Nov 07 13:48:29 That's what he said.
Y2A Member	Wed Nov 07 22:39:35 Andy Kim is claiming victory in NJ 3, that leaves only one clown in the entire delegation.
Y2A Member	Wed Nov 07 22:42:08 New Mexico 2nd flips to Dems, last night it was called for the Rep candidate. http://www...ssional-district-race/5137351/
Y2A Member	Wed Nov 07 22:45:37 The upstate Maine 2nd will probably go Dem as while the Repub has a small lead they are under 50% and Maine just inatitues rank choice voting. The two independent candidates got something like 8% combined and both supposedly said they would support the D over the R in the debates.
