I’m not a stay up late for elections guy, so I’m writing this at 10 PM CT, and there’s way too much to write about. Talarico and Hinojosa are killing it. Texas was dummymandered. The Texas legislature is in play as I write this. Bobby Pulido is probably going to Congress after singing at many a quinceañera.

Adam Hamilton won Kansas. Democrats will control the Senate in 2027. The Democratic majority in the House is going to be huge.

Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton won. Wisconsin and North Carolina legislatures have flipped.

Florida was also a dummymander, even though Angie Nixon lost. Nixon is going to run again in 2028 because Moody’s win was in a special election to replace Rubio.

I’m watching the Downballot live cast and there hasn’t been one Republican flip in the House. G. Elliot Morris is doing the math and it looks like the polls underestimated Democratic strength.

The two high-water races that I mentioned the other day, CO-4 (Boebert) and Lousiana Senate aren’t fully counted, but Boebert is in trouble and New Orleans hasn’t fully reported.

I could just keep listing races, but holy shit this was a rout.

I hope Trump is throwing his over done ketchup smothered steak against the wall. I really want him to feel the complete ass kicking.

Tonight feels pretty good. Major props to David Jolly and Angie Nixon in Florida. They gave it one hell of go. But Texas, wow. I was pretty sure Talarico would win but Hinojosa kicking Abbot's ass is just perfect.

Trump was out saying that he's not going to dispute the election results because he's not on the ballot. 100% perfect Trump.

My main source of information has been the Signal chat with my politics-brained friends (oh, it gets way worse than me), and I gotta say, they are atrocious at relaying information in ways that anyone even slightly detached from politics can understand. "OH called." "SC called." For who? Was it called D or R? "Arizansas 3,720th District called for John Q. Citizen." Who the fuck is John Q. Citizen? Is he a D or an R?

LITERALLY ONE USEFUL BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT ALL THESE RACES, and it keeps being left out.

Sorry. When you gotta vent, you gotta vent. Anyways, great fucking night so far. Keep it up y'all.

I forgot to laugh at SC. That one's completely on Trump.

That one honestly shocked me. I mean, it's South Carolina. It's the fired-on-Fort-Sumter state. The only places more Deep South than that are Alabama or Mississippi. I honestly expected that no matter how blue any other state on the Atlantic coast might turn, that one would still be deep red when I died.
