Are republicans projected to maintain control of the senate?

No. They probably have a better shot at holding onto the senate than the white house, though.

It might be the biggest reason I think election of judges is a bad idea.

I don’t mind retention elections though. In that regard I’m definitely in the “no news is good news” camp and say let them keep judging on if I haven’t heard of them.

I vote no on the judges when I think the governor would appoint good judges and yes on them when we have someone like Brownback in office.

part of me thinks it would be better to have experienced judges rather than non-experienced ones but I honestly don't know. Thankfully only had to vote for one.

Most of the judges up in KS voted surprisingly non-shitty in the last few big cases to come up to them so I voted to retain all but one.

Experience is better, and it introduces more opportunities for corruption if there is constantly a new crop of judge candidates trying to get in good graces with the governor. There is a reason that, as political as the process is, federal lifetime appointment judges are still the most respected.

Moscow Mitch crushing McGrath.

That was $100 million pissed down the drain.

Sadly BidenVoter rules in California and NY so can't go after MPOS Schumer and Pelosi like that.

I couldn’t remember which judge this was when I voted, so I voted no for all of them.

Given the results of tonight it shouldn't come as a surprise but the underdogs appear to be losing. Graham and Coryn are projected winners and Tillis is leading a tight race.

Probably so. 538 is reporting after poll results could benefit Bollier.

None of them ever polled behind, same with Mitch.

tillis did.  he was behind in probably 90% of polls.  but yeah, the others were heavy favorites.
