Has she officially lost yet? I get a bad feeling when dancing on someone’s grave too early, like on a big return for a TD then I go looking for a flag.

i dunno if any of the decision desks have called it yet, but she's done.

the thing where there was a red wave in ny and florida and the rest of the country was mostly dead even is kinda weird.

Really? Her opponent is only up 2,100 on her. 95% of precincts reporting. It's 151,606 to 149,405. I haven't been paying attention today so I don't know what kind of vote is still out there, but it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility to me that she could still be victorious.

He's been consistently up by around that amount. She got it down under 2000 when 90% of the vote was in but he pushed the lead back up. She hasn't tweeted since like 7:00 yesterday, she thinks it's over too.

As of half an hour ago, it’s as tight in the Colorado 3rd as it can probably possibly get.

Frisch: 155,579.
Boebert: 155,506.

A difference of 73 votes.

That’s according to the New York Times.

You guys, he is going to receive what he came for regardless, which fortunately doesn’t even matter if the red wave was dickless.

The dildo does not care. That's true.

good thread on the house race.  republican gains in the popular vote didn't translate to many in seats.  if the as of yet to be satisfactorily explained red wave in ny didn't happen, dems would have held the house while losing ~ 5% in the national vote from 2020.

What's dumber: Not understanding which polls count and which ones don't? Or not understanding that not everyone understands which polls count and which ones don't?

is it possible that gerrymandering all the minorities may have backfired? Like if republicans create majority-black districts they won't gain much when they shift right

Still unknown. Some people are saying she can't catch up, others are saying her opponent can't hold her off.

Either way it’ll be entertaining, because people like her don’t win or lose with dignity

It's looking like she probably is going to win, but it's already a miracle that it's as close as it is, so I wouldn't be surprised either way.

Like most of the folks who say the polls suck, I don’t understand polls at all. So I just find the entire debate to be annoying.

Yes, I don’t GAF about which polls are good or bad or if the polls in general are good or bad. I also hate polls because they bother me with phone calls and text messages. GTFOOMF poll people.
