1. Some good news, at last!

[Cha]

2. OK Fucking BRIGHT SPOT!

I'm So Happy Right NOW!

Poor kari lake.. Let the "Rigged" WHINING Begin!

[Rebl2]

4. Hope

she doesn’t demand a recount.

[Cha]

14. She will.. Here's the vote Tally with 87% counted.

Ruben Gallego
49.7%
Democratic Party
1,470,60 votes

Kari Lake
1, 425, 54

[DeeDeeNY]

32. Hard to believe she could get that many votes

She is completely deranged.

[Cha]

34. Sadly it says A Lot about what

the Dems are up against in Arizona

[joshdawg]

58. Not just Arizona, but

the rest of the country as well. The inmates have control of the asylum.

[Pinback]

62. I believe it was Maya Wiley who pointed out recently

that we have 50 Red states, with a number of Blue cities and counties (and of course Blue households and individuals) sprinkled throughout.

[fierywoman]

51. I -- a registered Dem since 1972 -- got a text from her this afternoon asking for $ to recount the votes.

[Cha]

55. Well there ya go. I don't know yet if

the final votes are close enough to get an automatic recount.

That Lake is always asking for money.

I got so many texts from magats begging for money and votes. I don't know where they got my number or why they thought I'd be interested.

[whopis01]

56. Currently there is about 1.5% difference

An automatic recount requires it to be leas than 0.5%.

The counting isn’t done so that may change but for right now it looks like no automatic recount.

[Cha]

60. Thank you so much for this info!

[Schlocko]

65. Did you ever request a Republican ballot?

Because I’ve requested GOP ballots in a couple of Illinois primaries as part of stealth spoiler campaigns. I’ve gotten mailers and texts because of it.

[Tribetime]

23. She was way down in the polls the only rigging is from the right

[Cha]

26. Yes As Usual... and she Got Told

when she ran for Gov.

[WarGamer]

3. yessss!!! Lake is the worst...

[Cha]

16. Yes, I really really didn't want that

gaslighting Whiner that Tulsi Gabbard Endorsed.

[Hekate]

5. WONDERFUL!

[Cha]

6. Oh magats are Bitter on the Twitter Feed.

[LoisB]

7. Maybe donnie will find a place for her in the White House.

[sheshe2]

8. Yes!

Lake the flake lost!

[Sneederbunk]

9. Good!

[surfered]

10. Can't believe it was so close. That lady is crazy

[Cha]

17. That suits a lot of magats Just Fine.

[not fooled]

25. I moved out of AZ earlier this year

after living there a few years, I just couldn't take the dumbassery anymore. I was in a smaller town, not Tucson or Phoenix, so had no escape from the ignorant maggots. Finally concluded that the sun baked their brains.

[Cha]

29. Good On you, not fooled! I lived there

in the 60s in Phoenix and went to School in Tucson at the UofA.

It was Glorious back then... almost like small towns.

I visited in the 90s and it was crazy big!

I hope you like it where you are now.

[not fooled]

31. Definite upgrade!

I moved to a rural part of Washington State. Blue, absolutely beautiful and a stark contrast to AZ. This area (SW WA) does have a lot of maggots but many enlightened, delightful people as well.

WA is one of only two states where putin's puppet didn't gain more support this election (with a couple of states' results not yet confirmed)--in fact, he lost support, and might end up being the only state to move away from him. I'm proud of this state.

[Cha]

36. Wow.. That is Enlightened and Impressive..

it's Mind Boggling that TSF could Gain Votes When he's Exponentially WORSE This Time.

So happy for you being where you are now.

And, Such a Contrast from the landscape, weather, and People!

My Grandson and his wife just moved to Seattle back from Melbourne where he went to Medial School..
They're Bummed about the election, too.

[Native]

40. what was the other? i forgot

[not fooled]

45. Utah

Go figure. No change in support for red don. Gotta give the LDS credit, I guess, for voting their values.

[OutNow]

54. Hey, don't forget Oregon

We actually flipped a House seat to D. It's now 5D, 1R. But yeah, the Pacific Northwest is nice. I moved from Texas to Oregon.

[surfered]

57. We love going there in the summer.

[lees1975]

52. I grew up in a small town in Arizona.

And when I was growing up, 60's and 70's, it was more Democratic party than GOP. But as it grew, the influx of civil service employees at a military base, and of older people moving there to retire flipped it in the early 80' to GOP. District represented for years by Democrat Mo Udall, moderate Republican Jim Kolbe, and then Gabby Giffords. Looks like Juan Ciscomani, the Republican, may be in trouble now.

[StarryNite]

22. I disagree

Although batshit crazy she's no lady.

[AllyCat]

11. Yaaaaasssssssds!!!!

Love this so much!!

[bucolic_frolic]

12. i thought they called this 2 days ago

[W_HAMILTON]

15. It's like a zombie race.

I could have sworn that MSNBC/NBC called this race on *Election Night*

I was surprised to hear that it was still apparently uncalled...

Not sure if MSNBC/NBC made a mistake or made the call too early or what happened, but I haven't even been worrying about this seat over the past few days because of that initial call...

[Cha]

33. I didn't see anything on Tuesday night &

have been checking on it the last two days.

It was holding at 69% and not called yet for a couple of days. I was so Glad to See This!

[Cha]

18. No.. I've been checking on it for the last 2 or 3 days.

[Permanut]

13. Now, hold on just a second here..

Who says she lost?

[Native]

41. i see what you did there!

[Devilsun]

19. She will definitely demand a recount.

[Hope22]

20. Nice! Congratulations!

One by one they keep coming in! Sending a huge thank you to the Dems who put themselves out there for us! 💙💙💙😁

[wordstroken]

21. Excellent!!

Woohoo!!

[NJCher]

24. so happy

I actually got up and danced around the table. Yay for us, yay for Ruben!!!

[Linder]

27. Yes

I like him!

[Mark.b2]

28. My X feed says the AP called it 16 minutes ago!!!

Still, it’s ridiculous it’s taken this long. There’s no good reason.

[iluvtennis]

35. YAASSS

[UTUSN]

37. K&R for, *EXCELLENT*! - How come we haven't savored SCHIFF's winning (that I've seen)?

[ShazzieB]

38. I am thrilled to hear this!

That race was very high on my list. The only thing that would have thrilled me more would have been Colin Allred beatingTed Cruz. Well, that and Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown both winning their races. One out of 4 is... better than nothing!

[DFW]

48. I was heartbroken when Jon Tester list his seat

He has been pulling that rabbit out of a hat for three terms in a row.

[ShazzieB]

59. I hear you.

I felt the same way about Sherrod Brown. He and Tester have so much in common. Both started in the Senate at the same time - 2007 - and both kept getting reelected in their respective red states...until now. And they both lost to opponents who were endorsed by the Orange Hellbeast. It all sucks SO much!

[mcar]

39. That is such good news

[Native]

42. Oh, thank God!

[Wiz Imp]

43. Kari Lake freakout coming in 5.....4.....3.....2......1

[PoliWrangler]

44. Kick! Well done and well deserved

Well done and well deserved!

[blogslug]

46. Congratulations, Senator Gallego! Thank you, Arizona!

It's okay, Kari. You wouldn't have liked the Senate. C-SPAN camera operators don't coat their lenses with vaseline.

[DFW]

47. I just apologized for congratulating him too early

I congratulated him last Wednesday, almost jinxing his chances, apparently. This morning (it’s Sunday here in EU land), I did it again, properly. Rubén is a good guy, I’m pretty sure he’ll forgive me!

[Dulcinea]

49. Thank heavens for small favors.

She's batshit crazy!!

[mvd]

50. K&R

I’ve been all kinds of emotions - sad, angry, in disbelief, numb - and hearing Gallego beat Lake makes me feel a little better.

[Jack Valentino]

53. The only senate race where i had no doubts about the Democratic candidate winning,

even though Arizona took forever to count the votes.


Well.... it's damned hot there. I've spent time enough there to know.

[4catsmom]

61. well done!

and thank God

[AKwannabe]

63. Good news! nt

[Cha]

64. KICK Again for the Excellent WIN IN AZ!

[LAS14]

66. Thank goodness!! nt
