Race for the US Congress (single thread?)

Tammy Duckworth wins over incumbent hater of the disabled Mark Kirk.

 

Duckworth wins, hey yes Thailand.

 

Did you read what I posted just above? Duckworth defeated Kirk.

 

Reading what is that. I post and forget.

 

MO SEN exits: Blunt +2 among men, Kander +16(!!!) among women. Wow, if these are accurate Kander's margin is gonna be unexpectedly big.

Burr wins in Virginia, it is looking like the GOP will keep the Senate.

 

One small item against the national trend -- the incumbent Republican Congressman in Illinois's 10th District was beaten, by an opponent whose campaign consisted largely of tying that Congressman to Donald Trump.

 

Republicans appear to have won 55% of House seats w/ ~49% of the vote - a continuation of last few cycles. https://t.co/TtjnXcWhcX

Well all small states have at least 3 seats right and most of those are red, that explains a little of that.

 

Small states only get 1 representative in the House (the 3 is electoral votes).

 

I need to go back to school.

 

So much for one person, one vote.

 

This House race is still undecided.
Rep Darrell Issa v Doug Applegate

It's at least a couple thousand votes. Unless there's something weird going on, Issa is going to be reelected.

 

If Cotton were to join Cabinet—he is reportedly considered—Arkansas would hold a special Senate election within 120 days, via @ballotpedia.

Any Arkansas politicians with free time looking to serve in the Senate?

We project that @DarrellIssa has won re-election in #CA49.
