The Tennessee Primaries are today. The first held under the new gerrymander that cracks Memphis 3 ways, destroying a compact majority-Black district. A move allowed by the gutting of the VRA I delved into the map and process here mcimaps.substack.com/p/issue-287-...

In Miami, Democrat Eileen Higgins easily advanced to a December runoff with Republican Emilio Gonzalez Thanks to incredibly strong Democratic turnout, fellow Dem Ken Russell almost edged into second! This also marks the end for several longtime politicos. Carollo, Suarez, Portilla. The titans fell

No state has seen a bigger shift in the party affiliation of county coroners than Arkansas In 2017, Democrats dominated the office. Now in 2025 the GOP has 3x the offices. A vast majority of this is party switching or retirements. More coroner maps in coming days 🎃

Day 19 of mapping #CoronerElections for Halloween Mississippi used to be heavily Democratic down-ballot, and that was reflected in coroner posts. By 2023, however, things had flipped, thanks largely to retirements or party switching. Only a few incumbents actually lost

The Maduro folks, of course, published false results and claimed victory. Their totals are below. What is especially notable is that their totals were virtually impossible, with each candidate getting a perfect 10th of a percent of the vote, a statistical impossibility
