The 2022 Midterm Elections

[mtutiger]

Fun fact: Whitmer has close to double the margin as Kathy Hochul does in New York.

NY shaping up to be the mini-FL of the night. Relatively low turnout

That also had the stench of January 6 and Kemp/Trump going at it too.  don't know what change that means for a new runoff though.

The runoff was January 5th before the insurrection. You did have Trump yelling fraud and Loeffler trying to play both sides.

John James won by 1,600 votes. I went from be represented by Andy Levin to John James. This really sours the mood.

Wow, if we could only prevent young people, minorities and women from voting.........we'd have a lock on this thing.

It’s 2022 guys….

next up women.  Then landowners.

It's what the Founders wanted and they were divinely inspired by God.  The Protestant Jesus God.  You can't go against that.

Got to love the Republican strategy of encouraging their voters to only vote on election day and passing on the option to bank votes.

I wonder when the media is going to visit a coffee shop in Royal Oak to discuss why Republicans are getting slaughtered in Oakland County?

Listening in on CNN for a bit, they still remain surprised that Oz's residency issue actually mattered. lol

Remember to go vote after the Steelers game. Even right up to the very end he made it plainly obvious that he was a carpet bagger.

Does the runoff in GA have absentee ballots?  Or is it just in person?

Oz won't step foot in his PA house ever again, if he ever did

The Supreme Court rejecting Roe may have been the greatest thing that could have happened for Democratic prospects in this election. Had they waited to release that decision until later in their cycle (i.e., now) I think we may have seen a much redder turnout.

I also tend to agree that a slight GOP majority in the house probably does prove advantageous to 2024. Nothing of significance was going to be passed with a slight majority House and Senate, for either party. Controlling three branches would have led to calls of a do-nothing party in 2024.

The GOP will demonstrate just how discombobulated their party is, and how lacking in policy objectives they are. It will be fuel for the Dems in 24, regardless of who tops the ticket.

Wonder whether they will consider this a CTJ moment and go all in on early and mail voting in 2024.

Shouldn't Macomb County have red arrows?    Can we just annex Macomb County to Ohio -- they'd fit right in,
