House of Delegates may have flipped again


goddamnit, pick one
Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

You are most fortunate. I've only seen some of the online reviews....and that was enough. You don't have to refuse Britain just because I don't think it's worth moving to. Maybe all their Brexit-related problems will disappear and the UK won't break up in 10 years....

At this point I consider the UK better than the US. If I could move to London I would.

i'll fold that into my post mortem later ig when we get all the data in but the way the HoD went-and some of the state legislators in NJ, plus the demographic flip means that the campaign is only part of the problem


oh, the preview: we're fucked, again

Woooohooooo I want off this train.

One troubling thing I'm noticing is reports that several minority majority districts in the country also flipped Red, which according to the narrative that was generated against the Republicans, shouldn't be happening.

One good thing I'm seeing out of this is a lot of the Republicans are saying in response to this is "This is why we don't need Trump, we can fight without him" so arguably that's a good thing.

Is it? He seemed to do a tap dance to keep ahold of the trump followers.

That endorsement may have a price tag.

Well, a lot more votes just came in, and Essex and Camden Counties still have some more votes in, but I'm not convinced it's enough...so I have to call it.

Jack Ciattarelli is elected NJ Governor.

Unless all those absentee votes somehow go the other way, I just don't see any other outcome.

Yeah and Salem county counted all their votes already... 64-35 to Ciattarelli, that shocks me, like legit shocks me.

As to why, Zurk says it's just property taxes. Which is fair enough given how notoriously high New Jersey's property taxes are.
