If you care about Social Security, Medicare, caps on drug prices, incentives for clean energy, abortion rights and – oh, yes, democracy – please make sure to vote ASAP. If you’ve already voted, share your thoughts and observations here.
I’ll be glued to the TV and live blogging below.

It’s called schadenfreude, dear Ellen.
My gut instinct allows me to hope that these results will sink Trump and the same instinct tells me that DeSantis won’t have the star power. He’s definitely more intelligent but that may be his downfall: the GOP voting base prefers the gaudy baubles to logic and analysis.

I was up until about 2 AM last night then woke up at about 6:45 this morning so I’ve been a zombie all day long. But I finally got a post done, which I just published.
Gotta say, I’m enjoying the Fox News tears.

Looks like the Trump/DeSantis feud will escalate, which will bring out the worst of both of them. Will DeSantis develop a MAGA cult-like following outside of Florida? Stay tuned.

So, it looks like Ron Johnson will probably eke out a win, though it’s not certain. Warnock will probably go to a runoff and Arizona is up in the air.
But it’s way past my bedtime so I’m going to try to go to sleep now.

Ack, Crooked Ken Paxton, TX AG, just won a third term – even as he’s under indictment for securities fraud!!!

Trumper Tim Michels conceded governor race to Evers in WI. That is a BFD.

Now Dr. Oz can go back to living in NJ or back to acknowledging he lives in NJ.

Still watching with bated breath down here in NZ. Looks like the Dems will hold the Senate at least, but even with one pick-up, the Manchin/Sinema situation will be a factor. At least we’ll be safe from any mad-headed Repuglican legislation getting though.

It looks like Janet Mills is going to beat Paul “Trump before Trump” LePage as governor.

JD Vance won. Ugh. But so did Kathy Hochul, which is good.

Dems are doing better than I expected, too. But I still fear Republicans are going to control both houses and that would be terrible.

I’ve been texting for the DNC for a couple of weeks. The guy in charge who thanked us didn’t sound particularly hopeful or happy. :(

scooter, I voted straight blue a few weeks ago, too. I don’t know what’s going on in AZ but it has me pretty worried.

So far, no particularly good news, though I was in my yoga therapy class the past hour. A few people are holding on but it’s not clear at all that they’ll prevail, MA and MD switched to Dem but hardly an upset.

I voted straight blue – 2 weeks ago. My ballot already confirmed and counted. Thank God for voting by mail in CA. Seems like real shenanigans are going on in AZ. As someone posted on Twitter –

Seriously though, you had two years to prepare. The date is set in stone. You know how important it is.
And your state’s voting equipment is f*cked up and not working?
That should be instant criminal indictments for negligence for the Governor and State AG.
