    Welp – Sconny polls closed. I did a spit take when I saw the sample ballot this weekend. The “Independent” candidate for Guv is coincidentally named “Burke”. What are the odds?

    NC is bucking the trend ever slightly, which shows that two years of meth-crazed full-on GOPALEC rule went down like a truckload of shit across the state. The gerrymander probably means they keep control of both houses, but a lot of GOPers losing state leg seats and I’m seeing good things in local races. We’ll see what happens with Hagan-Tillis.

    @Pogonip: Wisconsin. Home of the much contested Guv race between Scott “Koch Monkey” Walker and Mary Burke. It was considered a tight race until late last week when the local media suddenly changed its tune – time will tell.

    lol chikinburd

    No idea what’ll happen in WI, but I’ve only been able to perceive two possible outcomes. One outcome’s where Walker wins straight-up by 3 or 4 points. The other outcome’s much uglier, and also results in a Walker win — one by 4-3, in state Supreme Court, where the election is ultimately decided.

    “This election is down to turnout” actually means “turnout, and shenanigans”. Republicans here are at liberty to pull anything, since anything that will get litigated will go to the aforementioned WiSCt, whose majority has displayed the inclination and the will to simply rewrite state law from the bench. Mary Burke was a much better candidate than I expected, but she had to come out with a lead that was clear of the margin of fuckery, and that was probably never going to happen in this cycle.

    I’d like a lot to be proven wrong, but the closeness of this race merely meant that it had Prosser-versus-Kloppenberg written all over it.

    @PsiFighter37: He was more interested in being a “fiscal conservative” and “radical centrist” and being part of various “gangs” that were going to save the country (according to the VSPs) than he was in campaigning and pushing for things that would actually help people. He seemingly wants to be president and is acting as if being a Senator is just a way to burnish his resume.

    Take a look at his YouTube channel. E.g. in February 2013 – “U.S. Senator Mark Warners (D – Virginia) sees addressing our national debt as the nation’s most pressing issue.”

    I suspect he’ll pull it out. While he’s been a reliable D vote on the important issues, he’s been infuriating in many cases…

    Fairfax County always reports in late (it got Jim Webb over the line) and while Warner probably could have done with a contest that was more on the radar than the DC press considered it, just to encourage turnout, we’ll see what happens there. The NYT Upshot guesstimate thinks that Richmond and Fairfax will do the job.

    In Ohio: vanishing from the voter rolls

    “My father, who has voted in every election as long as he can remember, tells me his name wasn’t on the rolls this morning,” MSNBC producer Jamil Smith tweeted this morning. “He lives in Ohio.” After the Republican-backed legislature there (with help from the US supreme court) successfully blocked a same-day registration push for early voting, only to have a federal judge restore a last-minute Souls to the Polls drive, governor John Kasich is expected to roll to reelection in the ultimate swing state – already notorious for its voting restrictions.

    Jamil Smith @JamilSmith

    My dad has lived at the same Cleveland address for 35+ years. Registered, Had his ID. At the correct polling place. Did nothing wrong.

    Smith’s father found his name on the rolls at the local board of elections but “was really privileged today,” Smith tweeted. “[H]e’s able-bodied enough to drive, then walk, to the Board of Elections. So many other voters can’t do that.”

    Smith told the Guardian of his dad: “He’s optimistic that he’ll be able to vote, so it should all work out.” (Update: it did.)

    Not everyone in Ohio is quite so positive today. –Matt Sullivan (link)

    In other words, if you’re a fan of President Obama taking executive action on immigration, you should want Michelle Nunn to get 50% +1 tonight and obviate any need for a runoff. You should want Landrieu to win outright in Louisiana too. If both runoffs are avoided, then expect action sooner rather than later.

    It’s political, yes. But that’s how this shakes out. That Georgia runoff especially would delay any action for at least two months, and you’d better believe the GOP will be running against OBAMNESTY the whole way.

    It’s clear that the Republican strategy of going full-bore negative attacks against their opponent does two things. First, it whips up their low-information, socially antagonistic voter base to get out and vote so that ‘rubber stamping, baby killing, liberal commie” loses. Second, the unending negative ads so offend the non- low information voters that they decide it’s not worth the effort and don’t go out and vote at all. It’s a win-win for conservatives; their voters get out and vote, while the other side stays home.

    Here in NC, Hagan ran a campaign pointing out her support for veterans and her record as a moderate Democrat, while Tillis ran a campaign on “Hagan is an Obama rubber stamp that is ruining this country”. Hagan never tried to tie Tillis to all the reprehensible state laws he helped pass these last two years until the last week of the campaign. It should be obvious to everyone by now that negative ads work.
