    Looking for election results? I made a Google spreadsheet with state-by-state sources for results. Let me know if there's one I missed because I probably did!

    Big picture, this is an extremely disturbing development that has popped up in multiple states. Seeking to destroy people's votes is terrible and anti-democratic. More specifically, this is in WA-03, one of the most highly-contested House races in the country.

    Gov. Matt Bevin (R) claims voter fraud cost him the election in #KYGov. This argument wouldn't be convincing in the first place because voter fraud is incredibly rare, but it's even less so when EVERY OTHER GOP statewide nominee won.
    Replying to @mgreenKY
    "We know for a fact that there have been more than a few irregularities. They are very well corroborated and that's alright. What they are exactly, how many, which ones & what effect if any they have will be determined according to law that's well established." 2/2 #KYElections

    This is just patently incorrect in every way, actually. If you exclude the metro areas for the Bay Area, LA/OC+Riverside/SB & San Diego, Biden still won the rest of the state 58.5% to 39%. And if you excluded EVERY metro area in the state, Biden actually won the rest 48.7%-48.4%.

    I 'm still having trouble comprehending this. Literally no one saw this coming. Even the most bullish Dem couldn't have seen gains beyond +10. #VAGov

    If you thought President Trump's term ended because of a screenshot of some Department of State notification, maybe take a breath and go for a walk.

    If she's picked, Harris would be the 1st Democratic nominee from the West in the entire history of the party. She was the party's 1st VP from that region, too. So far, the farthest-west Dems were George McGovern from SD (1972) & William Jennings Bryan from NE (1896, 1900, 1908).

    If Kentucky had just remained part of Virginia in 1789, voters there could be voting for #VAGov right now. Their loss. virginiaplaces.org/boundaries/bou…
    We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry.

    #NVSen is basically a wrap as the final mail votes come in. Cortez Masto only down about 800 votes, but with ~67k voets left to tally in Clark & Washoe and her winning a 60%+ clip of those so far, she'll win.
