Elections 2018 Midterms: Polls, predictions and results.

Yup.

you have to take a pretty simplistic view to not see this as pretty horrible for the Repub's.

If someone is honest and not just wanting to hear or feed themselves a set narrative they will realize why this does not compare to Obama's midterm loss. Obama had a very unfriendly MidTerm Senate map. A hostile one that under the best of circumstances would have a great chance to flip. Again in 2018 the Dem's had a very hostile Midterm Senate map where again they should not be able to hold, let alone win more seats. The maps matter. But certain people will not want to hear that.
Meh. The pendulum swings as it always has.
 
y'all keeping up ? .. democrats actively trying to steal the governorship and senate seat in florida .. forcing a recount .. suddenly desantis's lead is down to 39k and scott's has dipped under 20k .. I hear democrat lawyers are fooling around in 'broward' .. this is not good for republicans .. you know they're going to try to pull off some shit in broward .. suddenly dem votes will magically appear and that lead will keep dwindling until magically gillum is suddenly in the lead by the slimmest margin .. this is going to be high drama

In Florida, any race that ends in a <0.5% margin forces a mandatory recount. This would be the case if the democrats were in the lead, too. The new tallies aren't "sudden", it's just the result of votes that were yet to be counted (mostly mail-in and provisional ballots). The senate race was under 0.5% since election night iirc

neither ended in .5 after 100% reporting .. of course magically they both got under .5 after the fact triggering that recount .. nothing fishy though

Correct.

And right now the mid terms say firmly that is swinging away from Trump and the Repub's in a way that is not good for them in the 2020 election unless they can slow it and/or change its direction.

The Repub's could not have had a friendly Map for the MIdterms and they still lost a ton of ground and almost lost Florida and Texas.

Except they never had 100% reporting which included all the ballots such as mail in and provisional ballets. Those were always going to be counted. They HAVE to be.

Recount = theft, eh?

Why would you say something that fucking ridiculous? Brain Weevils?

100% of counties reporting doesn't include absentee ballots that came in last minute or provisional ballots.

If you are interpreting it to mean that every vote had been counted you are wrong.

100% reporting doesn't mean 100% of votes counted. It just means every precinct has reported their standard ballot results.

After 100% reporting in the senate race, Scott was ahead of Nelson by 0.48%, which is within the 0.5% threshold. But again, this was before most of the provisional and absentee ballots were counted.
 
And effectively stop his agenda for the next 2 years at least

I hope that's the plan. Seems like it is. That will result in Trump taking back the house in 2020 when he is re-elected.

of course they didn't .. the broward election supervisor is taking her sweet time to report counts .. almost 3 days after the election and still lagging .. reporting thousands overnight .. not hourly or during the day .. magically thousands of votes are showing up overnight and desantis's lead is disappearing .. gop better be on top of this

this is the supervisor

You realize this is pretty common right? Not just in Florida. We just don't usually worry about provisional/mail-in ballots in races with wider margins because they're unlikely to have an impact on the result.

If you're saying we should only go by the results of standard ballots, and that's different than the results of every (valid) ballot, that would be considered stealing an election
 


Bay County has a population of 170,000 people. Broward County has a population of 2,000,000 people. They're not giving any tangible evidence of fraud, and if they ACTUALLY think it's happening they better launch a probe into it. But it doesn't look like Rubio's doing that. It's pretty clear they just want to suppress additional votes.
 
here we go now sinema is leading mcsally .. smh
