November '23 Mid Terms

[ToPleaseHim]

Ohio is looking promising on Issue 1 and 2.

Only about 20% reporting though.

We are hoping to see Issue 1 pass with over 60% of the vote after what they tried to pull in August with the special election.

Next big Ohio issue: gerrymandering

Abortion > Legal weed.

Interesting.

Abortion > Legal weed.

Interesting.

Looking at just the number of voters reported so far, some voted on 1 but not 2. That’s odd. But, the big fight has been for the Reproductive Rights Amendment.

Interesting. Is it too early?

i can't speak to his politics (other than he's a democrat so that's in his favour), but what a story arc, especially if he goes on to make an even bigger name for himself in the political by helping others and not being corrupt. potential movie...

Dude won.

Democrats benefitted from high turnout in Tuesday’s off-year elections. This was evident in the red states of Ohio and Kentucky, where Democrats turned out in high numbers. In Ohio, the Issue One ballot measure sparked an early voting surge that clearly benefited Democrats. In Kentucky, Democrats benefitted from strong turnout while Republicans struggled to bring out their base in what is typically a reliably red state.

Strong Democratic turnout was evident in Virginia as well. NBC News reported earlier on Tuesday that Election Day turnout at one precinct in Henrico County in the greater Richmond area reached 1,200 people by the middle of the day. There are over 3,200 people registered to vote at that precinct and 800 people cast their ballots during the early voting period

I hope this will teach the few right wingers on this forum that America is and forever will be fucked.

Trump will not win and even if he did there are so few actual Republican areas left that nothing can be done in Congress or on the state and local level.

Let the left kill themselves and shoot the survivors in the back in the head when they come to trust you. We are the new elite and the elite will always be a minority.

You’re rambling seems to be getting worse, time for a break?

Still a few votes outstanding, but worth noting that the vote for Issue 1 did not hit that 60% threshold that that August measure would be required. It looks like it's just shh (57%)

Thankfully, that measure was defeated.

I'm surprised the marijuana measure passed.

Far-right 'Moms for Liberty' school board candidates lose races in 5 states​

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...p&cvid=4a55e24b13d64f1189965301910680db&ei=41

Moms for Liberty (M4L), a Southern Poverty Law Center-designated extremist group that promotes book bans in schools and opposes LGBTQ visibility in education, suffered stinging losses in school board races across the country Tuesday night.

The Daily Beast reported that the group either directly endorsed or promoted school board candidates in six states — Alaska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia — yet lost a bulk of those races with the exception of two in Alaska. M4L had a slate of candidates win elections in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 2021, but the extreme nature of the group prompted most candidates seeking reelection to ask M4L to not explicitly endorse them. Still, the five Republicans running for the Central Bucks School District that M4L "recommended" voters cast ballots for were swept by Democrats, according to the Beast.

Bucks County: Republicans running for five open seats were swept by five Democrats.

Loudoun County, Virginia: Liberals now hold six of nine seats after Tuesday night's election.

Iowa: nine M4L candidates lost their bids for school board seats in five different school districts.

Minnesota: all four candidates backed by the group losing board of education races in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district. Voters instead reelected three incumbents and one newcomer, with none of the M4L conservatives capturing a double-digit vote share. Meanwhile, voters in North Carolina's Mooresville Graded School District rejected M4L-backed candidate Theresa Knight.

Yay to the Democrats taking both houses in Virginia. I had myself driven, painfully, to the polls and voted in the car to do what I could to that end. Locally, a progressive Democrat kept former Supreme Court Scalia's hard MAGA daughter off the local school board.
