Very very pleased with my home state. Pretty much the only thing I was eligible to vote for that didn't go my way was getting rid of one of the members of the state supreme court (and both incumbents won, so not like anything got worse there). Our trio of awesome ladies is still in charge, and Dems won control of state house AND senate for the first time apparently since 1983 - so no more obstruction of their awesomeness! Abortion enshrined in state constitution!

I feel so bad for everyone in TX, GA, and FL though. :/

At least GA will get a chance to redeem itself partly. Hopefully they do.

I saw someone point out earlier that a lot of the votes for Walker were not so much because Walker would be a senator they could believe in (I doubt very many people would say, after seeing all the evidence, that he has either the values or the intelligence for it) but because if they voted for him, there was a chance that the GOP could take control of the Senate.

If it's a foregone conclusion that the GOP will not control the Senate, that takes away the one reason many voters voted for him, and they may stay home.

So here's hoping... I mean Warnock is brilliant anyway, and Walker is terrible, but these sorts of things don't even matter anymore if you have the right/wrong letter after your name. :/

There were a lot of split tickets, i.e. people who voted for Kemp (R) who also voted for Warnock (D) instead of Walker (R)-- everyone in the state knows Walker's unfit and moved back to Georgia specifically because Trump wanted him to run for Senate. The only people who voted for him are those for whom Republican hypocrisy and cruelty is the point. Those that split the ticket likely did so because Kemp managed to wash the Trump-stink off and we didn't have an explicit abortion question on the ballot to draw as strongly motivated a crowd as some other states.

We needed Stacey Abrams. We needed Bee Nguyen. The only consolation is that at least Kemp and Raffensperger have a history of not being insurrectionists, but only because the first attempt was so fucking ham-fisted that they didn't even have a scrap of plausible deniability. The next coup attempt won't be as fucking stupid and Kemp and Raffensperger have already shown that they'll use every (legal) tool in their arsenal to suppress and deny the vote to as many people as they possibly can.

OH sucks too, please save some thoughts for us stuck with JD Vance and a Republican Supreme Court which will likely now completely ignore the will of the voters and leave us with illegal gerrymadered maps while also outlawing abortion :/

Ugh, yes. It's not even the Michigan-Ohio rivalry that caused me to overlook OH in that list of states done really wrong - it's more like... I unfortunately didn't really expect Ohio to go well to begin with, whereas I had some hope for Beto/Abrams/Crist, particularly since those three states already had such abysmal leadership and maybe people there would realize it was time for a change, you know?

I was really hoping Tim Ryan might pull it off (he was winning the polls for a while before the GOP panicked and started pouring money into the OH race) and that at least one or two of the judges might manage to flip. The only bright spot is that my area dumped Steve Chabot.

Yeah, I recall Ryan doing well enough that I was like "okay let's keep an eye on other stuff" and then just... everything kind of dwindled. :/

Michigan, huh? I'm hoping this means we can get shit done here.

Exactly. No more of the state legislature just putting forth petty crap to waste everyone's time, or actual dangerous things that Whitmer will just veto. And I am so, so relieved that Benson will be overseeing the 2024 elections, and the state legislature isn't likely to pass some dumb thing that says they can ignore the actual vote count when choosing electors.

I mean making progress is good too, just I am currently very relieved this place is still actually a functioning democracy.

(Side note: if someone had made up a fictional name, for a politician that no one in their right mind in a northern state would ever want to vote for based on their name alone, you really couldn't do better than "Tudor Dixon". It's astonishing how well she lived up to that.)
