Hard to believe, but we are three weeks from the midterm elections. Let's make it a #bluewave.

I agree with you Marjorie about the Republican Party. And since you believe the GOP is the threat it is and that every Republican at the federal level must lose, can I assume you’ll be voting for Democrats this year, the only party that can defeat Republicans?

Imagine being Rick Brattin, who was all set to win in this new gerrymandered GOP district, and now he has wasted all this time and effort just to lose. Sucks to be him. 😂😂

Over the last couple of days we have got several polls of Dems leading by double digits in the national environment, and ahead in states and districts Trump won by 15+ points. Starting to get hard to deny that Nov could very likely be a bloodbath for the GOP

If Republicans want to pass a constitutional amendment to keep the U.S. Supreme Court at nine justices, then Democrats should add to that amendment that those same justices can only serve one 18 year term and no more than two judicial seats can be filled during a single presidential term.

It's probably not helping Republicans in competitive Senate races that Trump has launched a trade war with Canada. That country is the #1 export for Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, South Dakota, North Carolina, and Georgia. It's #2 for New Hampshire, Kansas, and Texas, and #5 for Alaska.

In 2006, my interest in politics was just beginning so the only deja vu I have is trying to stop the Wisconsin marriage amendment from passing. If this midterm is as Democratic-leaning as predicted, hopefully WI Democrats can win the legislature and start to repeal that discriminatory amendment.

This poll question has predicted the winner of every election since 1952. Democrats now lead Republicans on it by 13 points — their largest lead of the 2026 election cycle so far

This poll question has predicted all but one election since 1948. It suggests Democrats could win by 8-12 points in November.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

VERY helpful info from Zachary Donnini bluevirginia.us/2026/04/redi...

Zachary Donnini: "Ahead of polls close in Virginia, here’s a full briefing on what to expect in tonight’s redistricting referendum:

Virginia is a relatively clean reporting state with a centralized results system, but the order of votes still matters a lot.

This is a true three-method state:
• Election Day (ED)
• Early Voting (EV)
• Absentee Mail (AB)

In a close race, I expect something around:
ED: NO +9
EV: YES +1
AB: YES +40

That means early returns in each county/city can be misleading depending on what drops first.

Most jurisdictions report early vote and mail first, which creates an early blue mirage. But some key areas report Election Day first, creating pockets of a red mirage instead. Virginia Beach is the biggest example of a red mirage on a county/city level.

Key benchmarks I'll be tracking:

• Loudoun County big drop (~93% of vote): YES +14
• Virginia Beach: NO +5
• Chesterfield: NO +4
• Surry: NO +5

Base counties/cities:
• Fairfax: YES +33
• Richmond City: YES +62
• Tazewell: NO +75
• Colonial Heights City: NO +43"

Zachary Donnini: "Turnout dynamics matter a lot in a one-off referendum, so I'll closely be watching rural ED turnout (red areas) and urban Black ED turnout (Dem base).

Timing expectations:
• First big Loudoun drop: ~7:50 p.m. ET
• ~80% reporting by 10:30 p.m. ET
• ~98–99% by ~1 a.m. ET

VERY IMPORTANT: If the race is close, expect movement towards YES after Election Night:

Fewer provisional ballots than usual are expected in Virginia, since they are tied to same-day registration and the state held a high-turnout election six months ago, meaning most voters are already registered. However, post-election votes will still matter and are expected to break heavily toward YES. I estimate:

• Provisionals (~18K): YES +37
• Other late votes (~25K): YES +43
• Net effect: +0.5% shift in margin toward YES

Avoid overreacting to small NO leads late in the evening. If it is NO+0.3 when we sleep Wednesday morning at 2 a.m. then YES is favored."
