Official Mid Term Election Thread

[TheTexan]

Very busy today for a midterm. Apparently, the media is doing their job. Dealing with the volunteer election officials was a real treat.

I was able to vote against many incumbents and two levies. And I voted for a modest decriminalization bill. And then, I went on living my life.

Im voting larry sharpe today!

May your votes bear many victories!

Happy voting day!!!

Going to vote in a few hours. I can’t decide if I’m going to swallow my pride and vote republican or stick with my principles and vote for the libertarian.

The republican has a decent chance of taking down Robert Menendez who has been in office for 25 years. . Best shot in years since his indictment (just-us took care of him)

Hugin is a shitty republican. Weak at best on guns, pro spending.

The Sabrin is more libertarian than Hugin is conservative.

If you vote straight Republican, it will please the MAGA.

I voted Marty Knollenberg for state senate because he will give sex predators guns.

Definitely some difficult choices ahead for you.

Noone ever said voting was easy, but things that are worth doing rarely are. Good luck.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing good and hard. Vote HARD.

Some early bad news for GOP's Jarvanka Democrats aka Netanyahu Conservatives, AOC has been guaranteed to win:

Progressive challenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez celebrartes with supporters at a victory party in the Bronx after upsetting incumbent Democratic Representative Joseph Crowly on June 26, 2018 in New York City. Ocasio-Cortez upset Rep. Joseph Crowley in New York’s 14th Congressional District, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx on Oct. 13, 1989, and she's already on track to make history.
In June, Ocasio-Cortez won the Democratic primary for the 14th Congressional District of New York, unseating leading House Democrat Joe Crowley. Crowley, the fourth-ranking House Democrat, has represented the Bronx and Queens district for 10 terms and was predicted by many to replace Nancy Pelosi as minority leader. He had not faced a primary challenger since 2004.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Retweeted Al Jazeera English

This is a massacre. I hope my peers have the moral courage to call it such. No state or entity is absolved of mass shootings of protesters. There is no justification. Palestinian people deserve basic human dignity, as anyone else. Democrats can’t be silent about this anymore.

This is not news. We all should've known she was going to win when she won the primary.

I had to wait until after work to vote. Didn't have to worry any long lines whatsoever.

This is not news. We all should've known she was going to win when she won the primary.

She was favorite to win but sometimes favorites lose too, so it is sort of news still.
And it is definitely "bad news" for GOP-Jarvanka Democrats. Ask Steve Bannon, he'd say the same.

Yeah, the Republican with no name recognition, no debates, and literally zero social media activity could have upset the most famous junior Congresswoman in the country

Ocasio-Cortez is going to be a major boon to the right. The Dems are going to elect a progressive, latina version of Sarah Palin who won't have a fraction of Joe Crowley's fundraising power.

First House seat flips. Dem. Jennifer Wexton beats Rep. Barbara Comstock in Virginia.
