If we are doing bad in Florida on election night I wouldn’t take it as too bad of a sign. Florida is so different than most of the nation that I don’t think it is that good of an indicator. KY-06 and IN-05 could also be early indicators into the night. If we are bombing in Florida but doing well

Does @chicagoelection.bsky.social just not post daily updates on turnout for general elections like they do for midterms? We are a week into in person early voting and I don’t see a page with updating daily turnout like they had for the primary

Semi-random thought: It is actually really bad that websites abused ads to the point where a lot of people installed ad blockers to make websites usable. I would love for most sites to get ad revenue from me but too many sites made themselves unusable without ad-blocker for me to trust anyone.

I had a rude reply that was swearing up and down that Hilario was proven innocent and that the “mainstream media” is trying to cause controversy. Looked into their account and they were also calling Ukraine fascist. If people like that are your biggest defenders then you are cooked tbh

This is a disgraceful first election. Falsifying attendance data is really bad but it is by far the least bad scandal here.

Businesses are so weird sometimes. They sometimes seemingly think handling cash is free and hate people using even debit cards. But handling cash is not free. You need to spend time handling the cash. You have to spend labor hours counting it and depositing it.

Since people are talking about his misconduct case, I will say that I did not vote for Hilario Domingues. I voted for Jessica Biggs. And I honestly do think the sexual harassment allegations are enough of a reason to not vote him.

Neither one of these men can make it past the primary. Neither can Pritzker. They all might as well focus on their states

Today is also the first day where I have tracking data an equivalent number of days out from the election between the primary and the general. To reach 2018 level turnout we'd need general turnout pace to be about 2.6 times that of the primary. We are currently at 3.6 times

Honestly, NY shifting slightly red helps make “Texas moves 15-20 points left while the national environment only moves 10-12 points left” make more sense to me. The more Texas exceeds the national shift the more somewhere else has to shift less to balance out.

This is bad given partisanship of New York but still a comfortable win. If we win Texas because we faceplanted in New York but still won there, then that is a good trade. I will take that. And I would hope the situation doesn’t continue to get worse in New York

Dems in Illinois have a supermajority that they are going to expand and Republicans deserve that level of defeat for what they did to the state under Rauner Maybe you should have helped override some of those budget vetos so that we had a budget. But no! You wanted to torpedo state finances instead

If Pritzker actually does win by 20 that is kinda huge. For decades the dems have done worse in governor races than in the presidential election here and a 20 point win would be better than either of the Clintons, Harris, or Biden did. It also beats one or the 2012 Obama margin (but not 2008)
