The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Missouri's whole ballot: a referendum on the congressional map, an abortion rights repeal, a fight over initiatives, a fund to replace state taxes, and a sheriffs amendment. After a year of redistricting chaos, back where it started. #Elections #ZNN

Alaska's whole ballot: two Dan Sullivans in the Senate race, a federal prisoner on the House ballot, and a measure to repeal ranked-choice voting that would also repeal limits voters just passed. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Nevada's whole ballot: a governor's race too close to call, where Lombardo personally chairs the campaign for a voter ID measure on his own ballot. A citizen measure qualified with 127k+ signatures, then its own sponsors withdrew it. Nobody has said why. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
New Hampshire's whole ballot: an open Senate seat, a competitive governor's race, a tax ballot question a judge called confusingly written but let stand anyway, and no elected Secretary of State or AG at all. Plus Shaheen's own daughter running for her old House seat. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Iowa's whole ballot: 2 open toss-up races at the top, in a state Trump carried by 13 points. The one ballot measure, a 2/3-vote tax threshold, has its own polling split evenly 3 ways. A higher support number going around couldn't be verified, so we didn't use it. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Minnesota's whole ballot: Walz dropped his 3rd-term bid over a fraud scandal, Klobuchar stepped in to replace him. The one ballot measure passed the Senate 43-24, but some of its own co-sponsor's party is campaigning against it. The state House is tied 67-67. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Florida's whole ballot: a DeSantis-appointed judge kept DeSantis's own new map in place pending a gerrymandering lawsuit. One Tampa district was redrawn for Trump+10 and the Democrat is still leading there anyway. 3 tax amendments, one aimed at eventually having no tax at all. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Arizona's whole ballot: Hobbs leads Biggs for governor, 2 top-target House seats. Courts blocked 3 measures before November. The 8 that survived were ALL legislature-referred, zero by citizen petition. A progressive PAC is spending $1M against 4 of them. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Wisconsin's whole ballot: a toss-up governor's race, a toss-up House seat, a legislature genuinely up for grabs, and 3 amendments that all trace back to Evers stretching a 1-year school funding increase into 400 by crossing out a hyphen and a digit in a 2023 veto. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Michigan's whole ballot: open Senate and governor races, both close. A proof-of-citizenship voting measure collected 700k+ signatures, above threshold, then got blocked by a deadlocked board and two courts. Also up: whether to rewrite the state constitution entirely. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Pennsylvania's whole ballot: no Senate race, no other statewide offices, zero ballot questions, and Shapiro leads Garrity by 20-25 points for governor. The actual fight for power is happening in 5 state Senate districts most voters have never heard of. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
North Carolina's whole ballot: an open Senate seat after Tillis broke with Trump over Medicaid cuts, with Cooper leading Whatley by 7-12 points in every poll. No governor or Council of State races. A map redrawn to eliminate the state's only competitive House district. #Elections #ZNN
000
The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
California's whole ballot: open governor's race, 14 propositions. Voter ID is partly funded by Joe Gebbia, who leads the White House's AI task force. The billionaire tax is outspent 8-to-1 by a Brin-backed PAC, and two other props may undercut it even if it wins. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Georgia's whole ballot: the Senate race is rated a toss-up nationally while every public poll has Ossoff leading by double digits. Governor and Secretary of State are both open seats. The real contest: control of the Public Service Commission, currently 3-2 Republican. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Ohio's whole ballot: Husted, who we reported trailing in Sept, now confirmed down 3-8 points to Sherrod Brown in multiple polls. Every statewide office is open. A map redrawn for 12-3 GOP still has 2 toss-up districts. The one ballot measure has supporters in both parties. #Elections #ZNN

The Dude @the666dude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Texas's whole ballot: Cornyn lost his own Senate primary to Paxton, now trailing Talarico in one poll. The Ag Commissioner lost his primary despite a Trump endorsement. SCOTUS let a map stand that a court found was likely racially biased. Zero ballot measures this year. #Elections #ZNN
