That would be nice!
MD remained blue except for governor (again). The Dem candidate ran a non-existent campaign, as far as I could tell.

Also, we Michiganians got non-partisan redistricting, automatic voter registration, and easier absentee ballots passed. And my Congresswoman is now Rashida Tlaib, one of the two first Muslim women elected to Congress. (I met her on more than one occasion when she went door-to-door in state representative campaigns.) She’s a progressive and a real fighter; I’m expecting good things from her.

And my former home district re-elected Republican shitbird Duncan Hunter the Lesser despite his thievery, indictment, and being stripped of all his committee memberships. Which is a pity, because Campa-Najjar might have been an interesting choice.

This, so much this:
Go ahead and villify individuals like cheating coward Brian Fucking Kemp. Go ahead and criticise the systems that allow for the oppression and disenfranchisement of hundreds of thousands of people. But when you write off the state, you are writing off those same people, and the people who worked their asses off to get a lot of these races ss close as they were.
Instead of writing them off, try to figure out how to help those who might be able to change things, if they could just climb all the hurdles that were deliberately placed in their way.
Good people deserve better than being abandoned.

Being a sore winner seems to run in the party.

reporting in from Nevada, and yep. that’s true. the party avoided him before he died, but after he died they realized that it was too late to remove him from the ballot, and if he won they would get to pick who took his seat, so they were quite happy to let him stay there.
aside from that, i’m happy that for the most part Nevada experienced the blue wave the rest of the country was hoping for.

Additionally, we voted to get rid of Daylight Savings Time; so we also have that going for us, which is nice…

I has a sad, because Beto O’Rourke was this close.
pinches fingers
But I has a happy, because in my honorary home state of Kansas, slimy Kris Kobach is out, and Sharice Davids, a Native American, is in (but not the same office).

Data from Ballotpedia
There are 125 KS House districts. I only included the one I voted in.
There were a couple of big wins, but things are still very much red in this largely rectangular state.

Nevada used to be, like, California’s crazy uncle with the gambling problem.
Not crazy anymore I guess 
Still waiting for Arizona …

wellllll, i think it’s definitely a good thing. there are others here who feel the entire state is going to hell in a handbasket, and it’s all because of the californians moving here. i think it’s bullshit – change happens, and it’s not fair to put it all on people moving here from CA.
