US 2022 Mid-Term Election

Beto's underperforming because Beto was a typical groomed candidate--try to get them voted in against a relatively unpopular R candidate and hope people don't notice the flaws until later. So the anti-gun stuff has really hurt him this time around, and it looks like he's not going to get the suburbs like he did in 2018.

Paxton is looking worse, dead heat with only a 3000 vote lead and less than <0.1%.

No, Beto isn't just underperforming in the suburbs; he's underperforming in urban Texas and Hispanic Texas. His home district is the super majority Mexican El Paso. These are places that Trump blew the lid off in 2020. The question was did that bleed down and would the damage stick.

Beto's numbers suggest yes; the final confirmation will be how congressional candidates do.

Looks like Fung is going to fall just short in RI 2. Close with less than three percent between them and votes still out there. Maybe he pulls it out, but maybe not.

Someone asked me about third parties in ME. ME2, with over a third of the vote in, has Indy candidate Bond with 7.5 percent of the vote. ME Dems knew what they were doing.

NH1 is close with only a quarter of the vote in.

A word of warning on New York. Expect them to count slow.
 
Well, that's one way to cope...

Was flipping to MSNBC just for the salt, but they seem to unironically have the best coverage of the major networks. The soyboy they have running their board is a maestro.
