Pretty clear choice in November.

Donā€™t be a dumbass state, Michigan.

Yep, Republicans are ā€œValue Votersā€, Mr. Meijer. They value principle and the Constitution over everything else.

Nope. Most people here already donā€™t like the DeVos family, and their handpicked candidate with extremely unpopular ideas is going to get trounced.

Good contrast.

Wait, you mean insurrection isnā€™t a winning electoral position even in a GOP primary?

Seems important.

Meijer looks like heā€™s going to win by 5-10 points. Grand Rapids is slow in its results.

ETA: Welp, that blew up. Mea culpa.

Apologies, I was thinking ā€œGrand Rapids countyā€ without knowing anything about the electoral geography of the actual county with the name I donā€™t know. Still, Meijer looks pretty clearly like heā€™s going to win.

Random complaint: Missouri Democrats nominating a Manchin/Sinema clone for Senate over a legit awesome progressive Marine vet. Ugh, people, at least Schmittā€™s win means we wonā€™t have to rend our garments over the beer heiressā€™s awfulness.

Meijer seems to be picking up the suburbs though so it may be a long night.

Our polls just closed here. We are a vote by mail state so the results wonā€™t be known for a couple of days.

Am I recalling correctly, Oregon?

Washington State -I am in Seattle and Pramila Jayapal is my Rep. She should cruise to a victory. We are a top two primary state aka open primary. I am watching a couple of races that include the suburbs -Susan DelBene and Kim Schrier. Fingers crossed.

My sentiments exactly

I am in Dallas and my Rep is Colin Allred, but five months from now my ā€œRepā€ is the execrable Beth Van Duyne.

@tena owes me.

I am pretty sure that awesome progressive marine vet was actively worked against by the Democratic machine who brought in yet another billionaire to run for senate.

Do we really need more billionaire senators? Really?

Is she going to challenge the integrity of her election? Of course not. Republicans like Dixon only question the integrity of elections when they lose.
