US Midterm Election Results Live......Blow For Blow.

It's looking like the Democrats aren't sweeping anything, may not even flip the House.

That Kavanaugh fiasco was probably the straw that broke the camel's back. The whiff of desperation was unmistakable, and never the sign of a strong hand.
 
I'm watching the hockey game. I don't often get to see Tampa Bay Lightning games here on TV and since I saw the Lightning for two games in Tampa last December, I'm a fan of theirs now (They're winning 4-1.)

I did vote today but don't like TV election coverage...I'll probably buy the local newspaper tomorrow morning and read all about it.

We voted for Senator, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Congressman, and State Senator and State Representative. No local officials or other state positions or ballot questions were on my ballot in Pennsylvania this election.

Elizabeth Warren didn't help any.
 
Well, ABC is predicting they will take the House, but I think it's premature. If they do, maybe that will be the bitter little ray of sunshine to make it through.

And, gads. Ted Cruz beat out Beto O'Rourke by 3%.
 
So far everything I thought would happen has happened. It just turned 8pm here though so my polls just closed so my local stuff will start to come in now.
 
I did vote today. Last I saw they were predicting that the Democrats would win the House of Representatives, but were losing ground in the Senate. Although a couple of big Democrats won in Ohio, mostly the Republicans are leading and looks like there will be a Republican governor in Ohio.
 
It appears Colorado's next governor will be democrat, and the first openly gay governor in the state's history.
Some pretty bad amendments & propositions appear to have failed too :)
And looks like atleast one Democrat headed to the House

I am pleasantly surprised Jared Polis pulled it off. It's a good change from Amendment Whatever some years ago when Colorado was THE most anti-gay State in the Union.

Now that that's settled, what do we call Jared's partner? :D I can't remember if they're married or not.

This is certainly the forum to decide!

It's Texas, what did you expect?

Yes, but the race seemed to indicate that it is getting less Republican each year.

Even here in Alabama, the break was 60/40 in most of the races and amendments. That means only 10% of the electorate is swinging the ballot. That's not an monolithic conservative population, but one almost divided in half.
 
Why not voting is compulsory like here in Australia and many other countries ?
That way, people are forced to be abit more responsible about their own country's affairs.

Maybe now she'll just disappear.
 
Living in >Spain my partner voted last mont by post! Dem ALl The way!!!!
 
There wasn't any real encouraging news. The Senate appears to be more Republican than it was. The House is Democrat, but many key races across the nations went GOP. Georgia's much-touted governor's race was lost.

It doesn't look good for 2020. The media's leftist bias doesn't seem to be able to accurately read the totality of the population. The same blindness that didn't see 2016 coming didn't accurately read the continuing gap. Unsurprisingly, the 2016 polling gap is attributed to not correctly measuring non-college graduates in the non-urban areas. These are the same Americans so quickly discounted by both the media and the pundits on the left.

We need to find how to end the constant culture wars, as they are needlessly dividing the nation. We disagree on many points of policy, but we have to remain a nation, not two nations.

Kansas elected a Native American lesbian to Congress. Kansas!

And Tammy Baldwin was re-elected.
 
Glad the Dems got the House, but looks like we lost ground in the Senate. Killer to lose Missouri, Florida, North Dakota, and it appears Montana as well. We did pick up Nevada, but losing 4 to gain 1 doesn't seem like a great bargain. We can bottle Trump up in the House, which I great... but where we have potentially more Supreme Court openings depending on the health/status of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer(both in their 80s) and where federal judiciary appointments will surely continue coming up that boosts Republican hopes at chipping away vital protections and rights. As well, impeachment is tried in the Senate... even if the House Dems move to force Donald Trump to face impeachment, the Senate will be controlled by a Republican Party even more beholden to Trump thanks to their ability to stave off the Democrats. Especially with Texas(so close to being a purple state, but no cigar just yet with Beto O'Rourke's narrow loss to incumbent GOP Senator Ted Cruz), losing Claire Mc Caskill in Missouri, Bill Nelson in Florida, Joe Donnelly in Indiana(then again, for the GOP why have a faux Democrat when you can put in a real ultraconservative Republican), Jon Tester in Montana and Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota... we just flipped Nevada..so where are we now? 54-46 Republican? Until we control the White House and both houses of Congress, we'll get nothing done. Even if we evict Donald Trump in 2020(and if we do, I doubt he'd concede the results and would rather spark the bitterest constitutional crisis yet) unless we have the Senate we'll get next to nothing through with a more solidly hard right Senate and I believe we face a similar situation in 2020 in terms of defending more seats than the GOP.

Don't forget, two prominent critics of Donald Trump in the Senate... Bob Corker of Tennessee and Jeff Flake of Arizona, decided to run rather than fight Trump within the party and that John Mc Cain, Trump's real opponent among GOP party leadership, is dead and gone to have been replaced by always reliably ultraconservative Jon Kyl. Their replacements, most infamously Tennessee representative Martha Blackburn, as well as in other states the GOP flipped, are reliably on the far right. Moderate Claire Mc Caskill tried to run away from more progressive Senators(particularly Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren)and was replaced by a virulent conservative, Josh Hawley. Moderate liberal Bill Nelson was edged out in a stunningly tight race by reliable conservative Florida governor, Rick Scott. As great a night it was in the House, the Senate losses sting badly. We lost ground, and picking up the House isn't enough of a boost to feel particularly cheerful this morning about.

Totally disagree.

America certainly showed its colours last night.

The Senate was always predicted to go to the GOP...but the Democrats picked up Congress and 7 governorships.

I would note though, that in northern Michigan, 51,000 people actually voted for a Nazi. An honest to God Nazi, running as a Republican.

And the culture wars will not stop as long as the GOP keeps adding logs to the fire they have built.

Today, the US is more divided than ever probably. But it is a division that might arrest the worst Trumpian impulses and protect health care for million. The oligarchs' dream of gutting Medicare and Social Security is now dead for at least two more years. That is a win.
