Kentucky governor: Andrew Beshear(D) has won re-election. Daniel Cameron couldn't win against Beshear in a solid red state. Cameron ran a mediocre campaign that solely focused on his Trump endorsement.
Republicans still managed to win all of the downballot offices: SOS, AG, Treasurer and Agriculture commissioner.
The sad truth is that we probably shouldn't run a Black man as the GOP candidate in a southern state like Kentucky.
Ohio: Dems have won yet another abortion referendum in a red state. GOP needs to stop fucking having these referendums. Clear that abortion is sadly popular nationwide. Abortion is clearly a losing issue for Republicans.
Virginia Legislature: The Dems have kept the State Senate denying Governor Youngkin and the Republicans a tri-fecta.
Pretty terrible night for Republicans all around.
In PA, they accidentally put the vote-flipping code on the wrong side of the UI.
Kentucky has Republicans take it all except the Governor, because that makes sense.
Totally normal voting. Very legitimate. I'm sure vote stealers would just shrug and play honestly to avoid some theoretical consequences that never happen.
I wonder how much is fraud and how much is stupid old people who shouldn't be allowed to vote. Like legitimate boomers who don't appreciate the political divide in America today. "I vote for the man not the party, and that Andy fella never did us wrong. I like the cut of his jib. Don't know the other fella."
Some people actually do vote split tickets.
Some voters in Kentucky voted Trump on the federal level but still voted for Andrew Beshear on the state level.
They like Andy because he is the son of former governor Steve Beshear.
Andy Beshear had fucking near 60 percent approval in Kentucky.
All of our other candidates in Kentucky won except for the governor.
All of our other candidates were not running against a popular incumbent and our other candidates were White.
Running Black man Daniel Cameron in KY was a big mistake it seems.
Another case of prime idiocy from the electorate. "Sins of the father" logic should apply similarly to good deeds. Just because his father was great, doesn't mean his children automatically are.
And in the case of Steve Beshear's political affiliation, the Democrats of over two decades ago aren't quite the same ones now, but the average voter still isn't smart enough to have caught on yet.
If it means anything to you, the same thing happened here in Kansas in 2022. Because people didnt like the Republican option for governor, but they did like the down-ticket Republicans or at the very least just did the rest of the ticket as R. So its not as unusual as you think. And ironically, it results in said Dem governors hands being tied on a lot of the stupidest things because the rest of her cabinet is calling her an idiot.
Qrd on PA?
People were picking their choices on screen and the screens were showing they clicked something different.
