I thought you had moved. Hope you are enjoying your new home.
It is interesting -- even if you don't live in the district.
We'll see -- it is very very close.
And it will be something if a Republican candidate that was Trump's choice loses this Red seat. I believe Sanford would have easily won..
Been refreshing the results constantly. Only precincts out are Beaufort - about 30% left. Very red area but it comes down to numbers. Are there enough for Arrington to overcome Cunningham. If she loses, wonder how long it will take Sanford to say told ya so. SC-1 has been very red but there are some issues that are the proverbial third rail. Our beaches are one of them.
Right? Thought she was coming out for a concession speech. Nope. She’s now fighting an already lost battle.
Fulton has 17% left but that’s not enough to close it and the absentees will probably cancel out. I’m guessing this is a rematch in 2022 but who knows what the political landscape will be then

It’s a math game at this point and I don’t think there’s enough out there to put her over the top. She should know this or at least her advisors should. That should have been a concession speech.
I thought a blue wave was just the Dems taking back the house.
I thought there was never any thought they would take the Senate.
Hmm, well if you're happy with the outcome I'm happy with the outcome. There certainly was thought of Dems taking the Senate earlier this summer. Or at least evening it up. Just holding the Senate where it was would have been a GOP victory but so far they have won nearly every contested race and flipped 4 seats. Good shot at flipping Montana too. And some of the "flaky" GOP members have been replaced.
Final result. No blue wave. No red wave. The polls actually got the overall picture pretty close to right. No big referendum on Trump or the GOP and a pretty unspectacular but real shift Left. Moving away from the party in power has been a consistent feature of virtually every mid-term at least since the 60's, so this isn't really shocking. The Dems were supposed to win and kinda delivered. They also kinda didn't by actually losing ground in the Senate.
PS: Welcome back to gridlock. Good. Democrats and Republicans seem to be in a race to see who can wreck things fastest. Gridlock prevents both of them from doing a damn thing. It's just better this way.
