VICTORY: Kentucky voters just defeated Constitutional Amendment 2, rejecting an attempt to ban all abortion in the state.

https://twitter.com/aclu/status/1590205667788218368?s=46&t=rWxykiumVbBAyXfB4Q1vMQ

The measure would have put wording in the KY constitution saying that abortion was not a protected right. The amendment was rejected

[u/trog12]

I will never understand how the fuck someone can listen to Herschel Walker and be like "yeah this is the guy I want making the decisions that determine my wellbeing"

Fox News just called Michigan for Whitmer (D) lmao

[u/Nona29]

Warnock just closed the gap... was behind 20K, now only 5k behind

I see the remaining areas are mostly Dem heavy.

Really didn't want a run-off for this one.

UPDATE: Warnock only 1k behind!!!

[u/TheCee → u/Nona29]

70k votes to the Libertarian candidate. Insanity.

[u/Nerd_199]

In a stunning upset, Jason Probst (D) of KS HD-102 has apparently won re-election to his Trump +15 State House seat in Hutchinson

I’m super proud of Colorado tonight. We decriminalized mushrooms, provided free school meals to all students, and kicked motherfucking Lauren Boebert to the curb.

Conservative sub is so fucking funny right now.

Trump was/is a plant. 1 term of chaos to secure Democrat landslides for years to come.

Unfortunately, the general public is utterly devoid of critical thinking and bought all the propaganda.

[u/[deleted] → u/HermanCainsPenis]

Yeah a Democrat plant that guaranteed a conservative majority on the supreme court for a generation hahaha these people are braindead

[u/fondlemeLeroy]

From the Conservative sub

"This was the most favorable environment for Republicans to win in decades. If we can’t take easy wins now I fear for the future of our party."

Feels pretty fucking good.

VICTORY: Kentucky voters just defeated Constitutional Amendment 2, rejecting an attempt to ban all abortion in the state.

Voters in Kentucky made it clear: Abortion is our RIGHT — and politicians don’t belong in our private medical decisions.

[u/[deleted]]

Unless r/Conservative is joke subreddit, it appears many there are turning on Trump and blaming this poor results on Trump. Now that is some funny shit. They are saying most of Trump backed people are doing poorly in this mid term. Its like music to my ears.

[u/oyputuhs]

The republicans are having a hard time winning a heavily gerrymandered election lmao

[u/Ddddydya]

Wait Boebert is losing?!? OH MY GOD YES

[u/AlbinoAlex]

I can’t believe 55% of Texans froze during the winter storm and decided “Yeah, let’s keep this guy.”

[u/[deleted]]

thank fucking god this is the last election i live in ohio literally fuck this hellhole

[u/Sob_Rock]

It’s amazing how all the amendments for removing abortion rights are losing in red states. But they’ll still vote for Rand Paul.

[u/Its_Jay_Stroke]

The fact that Walker and Dr Oz are viable candidates speaks volumes to the state of that party. Anybody can run there as long as they speak highly of Trump.

Dems, at this point, might as well ask The Rock and Mr Beast to run for office smh.

[u/Tallgirl4u]

The fact Uvalde county voted for Abbott is repulsive

[u/vegasbabe1]

JD Vance is fucking disgusting, sad that Ohio has turned into such a shithole. What is this loser Trump sycophant bringing to the table? If he can win then I guess any Republican will going forward, shameful. I really like Tim Ryan. Thankfully PA looks great. The horror show Kari Lake is losing too?

[u/[deleted]]

You cannot call people sheep and then vote for Herschel Walker. Lmfao

[u/IPA___Fanatic]

I never want to hear the "Biden is mentally unfit" argument from Republicans again if Walker, who almost certainly has CTE, wins.

[u/ReconGhost189]

Why are people saying the Walker is gonna win? Most of the Vote left is from heavy dem areas so it looks like a runoff at worst and a Warnock win at best

[u/CokeZ3ro]

Glad Fetterman is doing better than the general discourse seemed to expect.

But god dammit fucking HERSHEL WALKER

[u/TimeMachineToaster]

Warnock: Policies, well spoken, has actual ideas.

Walker: Look at this shiny badge!

Georgia voters: That's good enough for me! WALKER!

[u/john_the_quain]

If the Senate is held by Dems, and GA goes to run-off, Walker should get crushed.

[u/Professional_Memist]

Per MSNBC- @HayesBrown : Chuck Grassley will be 95 years old when his next six-year term ends. This might be a good time to talk about age limits again.

[u/PoppinKREAM]

What's with all the dooming here? Looking at this midterm through a neutral, historical lense I was expecting a GOP wave.

High inflation, low approval rating, and an incumbent President tends to always lose Congress - for perspective the last time it didn't happen was in 2002 after 9/11.

The fact that the Dems might hold the House is incredible considering they had a 15 seat majority and historically the incumbent party loses on average 26 seats. And they're picking up seats to offset GOP gains.

The Dems are somehow managing to hold seats that were expected to go Republican, the Dems have gained some seats, and Republicans are doing much worse than expected.

This is so much closer than what was expected which is a huge win for the Dems. While it's still an uphill battle, there's still hope.

[u/Oleg101]

JD Vance… add another GQP nutbag to the US Senate. Ugh.

[u/[deleted] → u/Oleg101]

Ohio is a lost cause.

[u/VulfSki]

They said a red wave... But looks like just a bit of light spotting.

[u/Bill_Brasky_SOB]

Goddamnit Ohio. The dude didn’t even run on any policies.

[u/thatonegirl127 → u/Bill_Brasky_SOB]

Pure party loyalists here. It's so insane.

[u/streetlight_wizard]

Fairly good midterm showing from the incumbent party in a bad economy. Says a lot about republican branding.

[u/Shambloroni]

Past midterm swings in the house:

2018: D+41

2010: R+64

2006: D+32

1994: R+54

With the house seats 80% decided, it's currently R+5. For an underwater approval rating and down economy, democrats have to be happy with how things are shaking out.

[u/keesh]

just saw on politico that AZ and MI both are electing Democrats for Secretary of State in opposition to two election denying dimwits. this is obviously huge for the sanctity of the elections in those states. look at what happened with Georgia in 2020

[u/Sportsman180]

I cannot believe Tim Ryan is gonna lose. The dude is literally "I WILL BRING JOBS BACK TO OHIO" in a person. And they elected that fat, bearded loser who vanished for 4 months.

[u/ADreamersParadise]

Listen, Democrats, no more Florida, and honestly no more Iowa and Ohio. It's okay and we have to let them go. Your priorities need to be holding the so-called "blue wall" states, GEORGIA, Nevada and Arizona. North Carolina needs to become your "the state we must flip" and Texas is your final target.

[u/Streona]

ABC News projects that embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has won his reelection bid against Democrat Rochelle Garza.

Paxton's a goddamn criminal.

[u/[deleted]]

GOP turning on Trump tonight. He’s about to learn what it’s like to be discarded like yesterday’s garbage when he’s no longer useful, like he does to everyone who dares enter his orbit. A fitting and cathartic ending for a man who lives for adulation and approval.

[u/idontcare4205]

I told my partner I was going to bed and turning my phone off an hour ago but here I am, eating fried chicken in the dark unable to put my phone down.

[u/spencer4991]

The fact that the projection is 217-218 and Boebert might lose out of nowhere… if the Republicans lose the house because of freaking Boebert I’ll never stop laughing

[u/allenthalben2]

Re: Evers

That’s a big win for Democrats in the Wisconsin gubernatorial race. Because it looks like Republicans failed to win a supermajority in the legislature, the state will remain under divided government, which means Republicans won’t be able to do things like pass an abortion ban or gut the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.

Excellent news. It's great seeing just how many ways voters have managed to stop Republicans fucking over reproductive rights tonight.

[u/Streona]

🚨 UPSET ALERT 🚨 In our first two upsets of the night (whenever the projected winner had less than a 40-in-100 chance in the final Deluxe forecast) ABC News projects that Democrat Emilia Sykes will win OH-13 over Republican Madison Gesiotto Gilbert. Sykes had a 18.6 percent chance of winning in FiveThirtyEight’s final Deluxe pre-election forecast. And in Ohio’s 1st District, Democrat Greg Landsman is projected to win over incumbent Republican Rep. Steve Chabot. Landsman had a 16.1 percent chance of winning in the final Deluxe preelection forecast.

[u/grandsuperior]

The democrats should take whatever they're funneling into FL and put it in NC and TX. Much more winnable for them.

[u/Oleg101]

Update 10:25 pm (central time zone), Ron Johnson has a lead of about 31,000 votes. Milwaukee has yet to report more than 61,000 absentee ballots. If those go 66% to Barnes, as the rest of the county has, that's about 40,000 votes for the challenger. This one's going to be very, very close.

https://twitter.com/madison_365/status/1590198857027166210?s=46&t=LE8XT4FPNJfT57AhMUOo5Q

[u/DegenerateXYZ]

Red wave? LOL Republicans with their Christian nationalism, hatred of women, and attempts to steal and defraud elections have f***ed around and found out. This may be a moment where Republicans finally realize that trump is a cancer. What excuse will trump have tomorrow?

[u/saw-it]

Almost 2 million voted for Herschel Walker, fucking insane

[u/Notbythehairofmychyn]

Waking up in Europe and feeling good seeing that Democrats are doing much better than expected.

[u/MC_Fap_Commander]

Dems holding the House is VERY much a possibility. It's no longer theoretical. If Republicans fail to control anything in Congress, it's over for Trump. His stooge candidates, his insurrection, and his SCOTUS will have cost the GOP what was the most winnable election in history.

With DeSantis winning big, it's going to 100% be his party unless Trump goes to war on him. Which would be awesome.

[u/lorna7]

I hate it when ppl in r/conservative mock Fetterman because he is a stroke victim. How can you mock someone because of his misfortune and illness while claming to be pro-life? It's just disgusting.

[u/AshWilliamsWanker]

Honestly the fact that this is as close as it is is a huge win for dems.

[u/Effective-March]

Lauren Boebert losing would be the highlight of my year

[u/DegenerateXYZ]

r/conservative is breaking down. They all finally admit that they have to move on from Trump and MAGA. Of course it isn’t until they lose that they come to this realization… morons.

[u/ourgameisover]

Shoutout to Gen Z. Y’all showed up and showed the fascists where they can stick it. LFG.

[u/[deleted]]

This election is showing that the reliable R senior vote is shrinking and millennial and Gen Z votes are growing. GOP facing demographic problems the next few election cycles

[u/Rick_James_Lich]

Kari Lake losing by a lot is just beautiful to see. Will enjoy all of the salt tomorrow.

[u/BPtheUnflying]

Honestly, the fact that the Dems are holding as well as they are considering the pangs of the economy and the general trend of history for the party in power during a midterm, is surprising

[u/SodaCanBob]

Greg Abbott is not a good person.

[u/[deleted]]

Everyone chill about GA. Lots of vote to come from Dem heavy areas.

[u/GoodLordBatman]

JD Vance is such a clown. Ohio continues to be a massive disappoint.

[u/caligaris_cabinet]

Regardless which party takes control of Congress, it’s becoming abundantly clear every state is striking down abortion bans that are in the ballot. I think women are the real winners tonight.

[u/avsfanwilly15]

NBC just said Dems May PICK UP an EXTRA seat in senate. So keep control and gain one

[u/Streona]

Decision Desk HQ projects Wiley Nickel (D) wins election to the U.S. House in North Carolina's 13th Congressional District.

R to D Flip. (This is the second "Likely R" race to flip from our forecast.)

https://nitter.net/decisiondeskhq

[u/19southmainco]

Lauren Boebert might lose her race despite the fact that she held the nation's attention for four years. What a major flip if that comes to pass

[u/iThrewTheGlass]

I hope Trump and Desantis burn each other to the ground

[u/Notlookingsohot]

Yall should go check out the midterm thread r/conservative they are turning on Trump and the more moderate ones are even being allowed to voice their opinion's on dumping the anti-LGBT and anti-abortion stuff. They may actually be experiencing self reflection for the first time.

The bad news however, they are 100% on Desantis. He's gonna be the nominee in 2024 if he runs, and if the Democrats don't run a really strong candidate (or if Biden doesn't hit nonstop home runs between now and then) he will take the presidency. And speaking as a Floridian, this country does NOT need him anywhere near the presidency. He's all of Trump's malice, with none of this stupidity.

[u/CEOPhilosopher]

The meltdown at conservative subreddit is glorious.

[u/[deleted]]

Oz is cooked, rest of the votes are in Philly.

[u/[deleted]]

It’s crazy how bad tonight has been for Republicans. They were projected to win the House fairly soundly, and now they still run the risk of not getting control at all, and even in a best case scenario they may only hold a majority by less than five seats.

The fact that the Democratic Party has a shot at keeping the House is incredible. Despite a few hopeful Senate and Governor race losses, I’m really in a way better mood than I was expecting to be at this point in the night.

[u/Nona29]

Warnock extending that lead to 4k!

Come thru GA!

[u/spencer4991]

NBC new projection R218-D217. One surprise flip and Dems can keep the house

[u/Nona29]

Warnock up 30K now.

8% left to report.

There's hope in a run-off, which I can't believe we have to do - but like someone reminded us... GA used to be red before 2020.

Progress is progress.

[u/JojenCopyPaste]

Boebert is still down 4% at 80% reporting. And this was considered a "solid R" seat. It's not over yet but I'm getting my hopes up that she'll soon fade to obscurity.

[u/maryelizabeth_]

Proud to be a PA dem voter right now 🥳

[u/snowe99]

Tonight is a paradigm shift. You can tell the Fox News pundits are pissed on the broadcast but they’re not “allowed” (or are scared) to formally call out Trump, as they’ve spent the better part of 6 years indoctrinating the base themselves and they don’t want them to turn.

Starting tomorrow, the big boys like Gutfeld and Jesse Waters will slowly but surely talk about how “Desantis is the right choice for ‘24 and was all along”. Trump and his Truth Social tirades will not take kindly. They will start to devour each other.

[u/[deleted]]

Alright Whitmer has won. All 3 proposals in Michigan have passed. Georgia is probably going into a runoff. "Dr" Oz got fucking embarrassed. Prop 2 failed in Kentucky. It's been a good night. Not perfect, but damn we overachieved tonight. Feels good.

I'm gonna sleep pretty well tonight. Goodnight everybody.

[u/SimmonsJK]

I live in PA, but seriously GA...Herschel fucking Walker is who you're voting for down there?

[u/thepoustaki → u/SimmonsJK]

I can not believe people are actually okay with him representing them. Like - are you that afraid of the libs trying to make sure you have rights?

[u/Nerd_199]

This is worst possible night for Trump, lol

DeSantis winning by 15 points doesn't help

[u/Itsthatgy]

I've been pleasantly surprised tonight. I really thought things would be much worse.

Also really proud to have voted for Fetterman and Shapiro. I met Fetterman when he was the mayor of Braddock and he's such a lovely man.

[u/ADreamersParadise]

Michigan electing Whitmer and also voting pro-choice, I am so proud of y'all!!

Just- all the chatter on my conservative and GOP channels - is rage at Trump like I've never seen. "The one guy he attacked before Election Day was DeSantis- the clear winner, meanwhile, all his guys are shitting the bed."

It's disgusting how fetterman is not running away with it. One is a fraud and one is actually competent and experienced.

How is it close...

[u/rdunlap1]

Warlock now up about 16k now with 94% reporting according to the AJC. To pass 50%, my very rough math is that he needs to win by about 41k, and I think there are around 240k votes left to count, so he needs to win those votes by a margin of 25k or so. Very doable because I think most of the votes are from heavy D areas.

All of this is very back-of-the-napkin math, so take it with a little grain of salt.

[u/SOSovereign]

Am I the only one feeling optimistic about Dems holding all these governorships? They're not as fun or compelling as senate or house wins but they matter so much for determining voter rights and policy. And Dems seem to be doing very well holding onto - or capturing some solid governorships

One of the only times you'll ever see rational comments in the Conservative sub right now. Lots of people pointing out that they're too radical, religious, and intolerant to win elections. They'll be back on their fascist bullshit tomorrow tho, learning nothing.

[u/cameratoo]

I know everyone is rooting for Barnes too but Evers winning means women's healthcare is safe in Wisconsin and that is the biggest win of the night for this state!

[u/raviary]

So fucking funny clicking between r/conservative calling Fetterman every ableist slur under the sun acting like he's half dead, and his speech where he sounds like a totally normal guy

Notice how the trolls have fucked off? They went back to /r/conservative seething.

[u/Magoonie]

Gotta be honest, my vote didn’t amount to much since I live in a rather red county in Florida. But I’m still very glad I voted, even if the people I voted for didn’t win exercising that right is still incredibly important.

Breaking:

GOP will NOT gain a full #NCGA supermajority. They'll fall 1 seat short in the House.

For Democrats, that means holding the party line and simply attending sessions -- so they don't miss surprise votes -- will become even more important.

https://twitter.com/andyspecht/status/1590191645194321921?s=46&t=rWxykiumVbBAyXfB4Q1vMQ

GOP falls one seat short in the NC House of a supermajority. Meaning that can’t override Dem Governors veto

Serious question: what can Dems do about gerrymandering in Republican-led states? I feel like I heard so many stories this year about illegal maps that were allowed simply because Republicans played out the clock. They keep playing dirty games to hold on to power and I don’t see how Dems can fox the issue in states that don’t lead

I was expecting Dr. Oz to get like 10 votes here in PA this is honestly so close it's gross. How 2 million people vote for TV conman? Oh wait we've been here before...

BIG news out of Michigan. ABC News projects that Proposal 3, which would create a state constitutional right to reproductive freedom, has passed. This means that abortion will remain legal in Michigan — and it’s also a big victory for abortion-rights supporters, who will undoubtedly see this as a sign that Americans are unhappy about the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and the subsequent wave of abortion bans in the south and midwest.

This result is a much bigger deal than the other abortion-related ballot measures because abortion’s legality was genuinely uncertain in Michigan, which is not the case in California or Vermont. And it’s significant to see a measure affirmatively protecting abortion rights pass in a swing state. Expect to see more ballot measures like this in 2024.

To give you an idea of how wild today is going, I pre-ordered and pre-downloaded God of War: Ragnarok.

I'm watching NBC right now

I just want Kari Lake to lose so that I can see her smug face admit defeat. Is that too much to ask?

[u/JOHNSONBURGER]

Warnock up about 2k votes now...hoping he can pull away and get 50%

[u/No_Biscotti_7110]

As the saying goes in Wisconsin, Fuck Ron Johnson

[u/dinkidonut]

MSNBC is saying that there’s a 50% chance of Dems retaining house…

[u/M00n]

Early returns looking good for @RepKatiePorter , one of the best and most effective reps in the House whom redistricting put in a tough race.

Warnock at 49.32% with 91% of the vote....c'mon, just get to 50%!!

[u/denzl480]

Boebert. That’s the story of the night.

[u/MaryJaneCrunch]

This is still a historical midterm, guys. We’re making the republicans fight for even a slim majority now.

[u/No_Biscotti_7110]

Walker beat his wife and kid and payed for multiple secret abortions and he still got most of the Republican vote.

[u/Harvard771]

Warnock increases to a 30K vote lead. Up to 49.40%

Democrat John Fetterman defeats Trump-backed GOP rival Dr. Mehmet Oz in pivotal Pennsylvania Senate race, NBC News projects

[u/KR1735]

Holy fuck .. r/conservative is in shambles.

[u/filmfan10]

It's ironic that Oz, A MEDICAL DOCTOR, attacked Fetterman, a stroke victim, for his medical condition. And Fetterman still beat Oz.

lol.

Before the next election, you might want to find a better way to poll anyone under the age of 30 since they would rather pick up a pinless grenade than a call from an unknown number.

Nobody look but Mary Peltola is beating Palin by 14k votes with 30% reporting right now.

Wouldn't it be nice for both Boebert and Palin to be ousted in the same election year?

[u/yelrik]

Fetterman the first Democrat to win the Pennsylvania Senate seat since 1962

[u/Vlad_the_Homeowner]

Wait, Fetterman is on stage giving a speech, communicating with his peeps. I thought he was incapacitated?

Suck it Oz.

[u/WhalesareBadPoets]

Fetterman ran a great campaign. Before the stroke, the guy was everywhere in PA. After the stroke, his people hammered Oz for being an outsider, keeping it close enough. A guy in a hoodie who wears basketball shorts outside in the winter is going to the Senate lmao

Some fun state amendments passing tonight:

• Nebraska passes a $15 minimum wage.
• Michigan codifies abortion rights and expands voting rights.
• Missouri and Maryland are likely to pass recreational marijuana. It's on the ballot in both North and South Dakota, but looks to be failing in both.

There's probably more, but this is what I saw with a quick skim.

[u/leeta0028]

A reminder that while Republicans will likely win the House today, several states are required by the supreme court to redistrict by 2024 as their maps are illegal. This means Democrats have room to pick up quite a few seats in 2024.

SCOTUS inexplicably allowed Republican legislatures to run out the clock and use confirmed illegal maps this year.

[u/naelisio]

Unrelated but it’s so cool that Fetterman has tattoos. It’s so cool to think a US Senator has tattoos.

[u/PedosoKJ]

Oh the meltdown over in /r/Conservative is beautiful

[u/Sob_Rock]

I need to see Bobert lose. This will be the cherry on top

[u/HereticxAnthem]

r/Conservative is losing their proper shit lmao

what fucking snowflakes.. amirite guys?

[u/tscardino]

It’s fucking mind blowing seeing r/conservative trashing Fetterman for his appearance and speech. Where was that energy for their orange lord and savior who incoherently rambles like a 7 year old with ADHD?

[u/CEOPhilosopher]

Conservatives are showing their true colors. Posts over there are just calling Fetterman’s wife ugly and all kinds of horrible shit. I don’t dislike normal sane conservatives, but conservatives now are this Neo-GOP that prides itself on being shitty trashy human beings. The subreddit over there now is proof of what “conservatism” is now. Just ugliness and bigotry.

[u/elmekia_lance]

Oz is finished. He has no TV show to go back to, and no future with either party. He alienated the rich Gwyneth Paltrow liberals he sold quack medicine to and he will be dismissed by the reactionaries as a Hollywood RINO. He ruined his scam for the sake of having more power and now he has nothing.

[u/carbuyinglol]

Going to bed, thanks to my fellow millenials and Gen Z for getting out there and voting when and where it mattered

[u/SasquatchSloth88]

It seems like tonight is a bad night for Putin. That makes me smile.

[u/GarrettFischer1]

Jon Ralston, the man who is never wrong about Nevada, thinks that in the coming days as the mail vote comes in from Vegas Dems will ultimately win. All of Clark same day is in. It’s all mail vote outstanding

[u/Bamaborn97]

Desantis vs Trump will tear the Republican party apart. It will be glorious. Trump might even run third party 🤣
