We’re eligible to vote by mail in TX, and USPS magically didn’t deliver our ballot requests to Travis County elections office until the day after deadline… even though I sent them 3-day priority mail a week earlier.
Lots of corruption going on.

In my Texas county, I've voted in the exact same location every year since 2008. This year I showed up to early vote...it's not a polling place this year. It had moved about 10 miles away.

100% a Republican decision to restrict the voting places.

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents?

NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of'

KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

Can these candidates win a general election? Outsider who knows my home state (Ohio) and my current state (Florida/ pray for my release) well, but not the local politics here.

PARALLEL RESULT #2: Michael Wray, a former North Carolina Democratic lawmaker, helped the GOP override a bunch of Governor Cooper's vetoes before losing in 2024 to progressive challenger Rodney Pierce, was trying a comeback.

He lost to Pierce again todayβ€”decisively, more than 25% gap.

RESULT: Over & over, Democratic lawmaker Shelly Willingham helped the North Carolina GOP override the vetoes of Governor Stein & Cooper.

He lost just now to a progressive challenger, 56% to 44%.

(And he's likely one of several in this position. Stay tuned.)

Crenshaw lost because of his support for Ukraine.

In the very close GOP primary for secretary of state in Arkansas, the candidate now ahead is the one who's been proudly touting endorsement from national far-right figures and election conspiracists like Mike Lindell.

1. Progressives oust 3 Dems who were helping GOP in NC.
2. Dems flip legislative seat in AR.
3. Al Green + Crenshaw in big trouble.
4. #TXSen? Talarico up. GOP runoff.
5. Right holds court seat in AR, but no blowout.
6. VERY close races: Berger-Pace in NC, Arkansas SOS.

North Carolina Senate primary voting results

Meanwhile, Democrats outvoted Republicans in North Carolina by about 200,000 votes tonight despite Roy Cooper having no real competition.

Guess which party has the momentum?

Mixed bag today. Arkansas and North Carolina showed the fuck out.

In Texas, everything is deeply flawed no matter what anyone says. This is a problem that will cause issues within the party and across the country for the next few years. Anyone who is in the Poli Sci department and Legal field

In North Carolina MAGA Phil Berger is losing by TWO VOTES to a moderate Republican (neither of whom have a good chance of winning), and Chuck Hubbard is once again facing racist fossil Virginia Foxx. Hopefully her leading the vote AGAINST releasing the Epstein files will haunt her.

Don’t let anyone ever tell you that your vote doesn’t matter. With every precinct reporting, the most powerful Republican in North Carolina is going down by *two* votes at the moment.

A screenshot of the preliminary primary election results in North Carolina showing 821,051 votes cast in the D primary, and 623,931 cast in the R primary.

Just adding the raw number of voters in the NC primaries, which are almost fully reported, it's 56.8% D vs 43.2% R. That's with the headline D race also being a snoozefest, and in contrast to the 2022 midterm primaries where Rs outvoted Ds 55-45.

Add in a fourth primary in NC:

Michael Wray, a former North Carolina Democratic lawmaker who helped the GOP override a bunch of Governor Cooper's vetoes before losing in 2024 to progressive challenger Rodney Pierce, was trying a comeback. He is down 62% to 38% so far.

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

The Texas Supreme Court just blocked the judge’s order that would have kept Democratic polls open until 9 p.m.

But don't let them trick you: anyone who was in line by 7PM STILL has the legal right to vote and have it counted. Anyone after will have their vote collected, but counting isn’t certain.
