American Politics VII: Virginia Reel

[Zurkerx]

Correct. Essex county is 90% reported; Passaic is 30%. This will be very close.

Why the hell is NJ close.

I'm surprised as you are but the number one issue is taxes based on what I see, particularly property taxes, which are some of the highest in the nation. That, is an issue he's winning on with voters although I didn't think it would be that big.

Also, Burlington County is only 40% counted, and Ciattarelli leads there 56-44%. I think it will be close, but I feel Jack may pull an upset. It's so close right now.

chris christie was governor not that long ago. it's a weird place

[Zurkerx]

Why the hell is NJ close.

NJ's always been closer on the state level than they like to advertise, but as to Ciattarelli specifically, I actually don't know myself. NYT hasn't really mentioned it.

Taxes, specifically property taxes. It makes sense now that I look at it. Do bear in mind, Essex is 90% reported; Passaic 30%; Burlington is 40% (Ciattarelli leads there by a decent margin).

True, but still surprised. Especially with Murphy having a positive approval rating.

I was hearing some more rural places even within said counties were being called before the rest, so its kinda weird.

[Shrillland]

Some more calls:

Atlanta Mayor: NOM-Felicia Moore goes onto runoff, Spot 2 still too close to call

New Jersey Public Question 1(Legalising Sports Betting): Rejected

Exactly what did these idiots think would happen?

No matter how I feel about the way things are going in Virginia, that's pretty funny in a dark way if true.

If he wins the polling industry should close down entirely as they are truly meaningless. i wish everywhere voted like NYC but sadly i'll never get that wish.

Ah, we have the same problem here in Illinois.

Virginia is ending up almost spot on to the polling averages at the moment. Not sure what NJ is doing though.

You've repeated this exact point like 3 times now. Seriously, consider your mental health and maybe log off for a moment.

It is weird.

I will say this: one Legislature, Steve Sweeny, is in real risk of losing his seat. It's 51-49% right now. To give you an idea, he won the last time 58-41% but the area he represents is Trump Territory. That's Salem County btw.

Its the truth and I am done for the night. im finished with politics. There is no hope left for this country. If people want sham elections in the future and one party rule along with fascism let them have it. I no longer care. I hope they enjoy it.

I saw a bunch of Democrats, presumably from NJ, not even sounding mad that he might lose. He sounds pretty hated.

Yeah, Lumen, just go calm down for the night. I've already considered it myself. Today was stressful enough with my driving test.

At least you passed your driving test, which good job btw, be proud of that.

People who are actually “finished with politics” rarely feel the need to say that more than once

But the amount of hold it has taken on in NJ is surprising. In the past, it didn't matter as much but it seems it does this time. It's still too close to call, however.

Nothing says "I don't care" like posting three times about it.

He is, yes. Democrats don't like him either. I wouldn't mind he loses.

Btw, congrats on passing your driving test: that feeling to drive is a great independence.

Dems flip Maine's House District 86

[Shrillland]

Now NYT's making a mention. They're saying that New Jersey's counting's been somewhat haphazard(you think?) and that there really isn't any information as to what's being counted where. Every vote's being counted, obviously, they mean the counties aren't being too forward on information as to whether mailed ballots are being counted now or later.
