This will be one of the few us political post I do. But Democrats retain control of the Senate.

Die Demokraten werden sehr wahrscheinlich den #Senat mit 50:50 halten bzw. mit 51:49 sogar richtig erringen, falls sie die Entscheidungswahl in Arizona gewinnen, wofür die Chancen ebenfalls gut stehen. In Nevada ist jetzt fast Gleichstand, und die noch ausstehenden Stimmen kommen weitgehend aus einem Bezirk, in dem die Demokratin deutlich vorne liegt.

@gbrockell poor performance and winning the house may be preferable to good performance and losing it. Just saying...

And please don't get me wrong, I would be happy to see see Trump and all the little republican trumpets gone. But they are still around.

“We have a Trump problem.”

In other words, the GOP wants all of his cruel charisma, but none of his untoward and uncouth behavior.

They want to harness the rage engine of the tacky bougies, but don’t want their hot wing sauce to get on the country club linen.

Watching the #uselections22 results. Early days, no sense yet of how things are going.

@nattymoher I have a nasty feeling they will. #USElections22

Anyone else already glued to #USElections22 #news ?

Also, why do we still run these horribly flawed #polls? They’re a disservice to #democracy.

Sending out a woo woo request for the world’s #Reiki practitioners & #lightWorkers. Please aim your #goodVibes twd the US tomorrow. There will be bad actors seeking to disrupt our Election Day. In all my life, I never thought I’d be concerned abt violence on a day of such civic action. But in a post #J6 world, I now know some of my fellow Americans are willing to kill those they consider their political enemies. #midterms2022 #ElectionDay2022 #fascism #USElections22

This story by Amy Gardner in The Washington Post is a rare example of reporting that exposes the power issues involved in voting battles — often US outlets present these as process questions instead of showing 1) The motives 2) the stakes 3) the impact. I worked with Amy when she was a reporter at The News & Observer in Raleigh and she has done some of the best work on #democracy and #USElections22 #midterms https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2022/11/07/gop-sues-reject-mail-ballots/
