I voted on all state offices, one senator, the governor, my house rep (CA36 I think), 18 state judges, 11 propositions, 1 college board director for my future community college, a few different country positions, and a hospital spending bill

Just 79 votes between Cruz & O'Rouke? Damn  

[Finnator123 292]

So the republicans have 43 seats atm. Does this mean that the Senate will have an Red majority?

I’m about to pass out these races are way to close for comfort. Democrats will likely lose a few Senate seats and not flip the Senate. The House will be to close to call tonight I imagine. Republicans have done better in Governor races. State races will be close.

The Democrats have had a great (not perfect) night, they will take the house (which will include many democratic socialists (my real party)). The Democrats have already announced that they plan to use committee power to gain Trump’s tax returns and they will most likely launch several investigations into the Trump government. The years leading to 2020 and the 2020 election will be hell for American politics (hopefully because I like political conflict) most likely. The results in state elections still show that we have race issues. However, they also show that woman have gained more political power in the United States. My state will start counting votes in 10 minutes, and I’m excited to see a few results. I’m feeling a resounding meh about the state of the government. It will be an interesting two years. Personally I think that Beto O’Rourke, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and 2 more Democrats I can’t remember the names of, will be the best challengers to run against Trump. The election has shown that Trump can hold is base though, so 2020 will be a fight.
