It’s reasonable to expect that the 2028 class of House Democrats will end up having a lasting effect on the way business is done like the 1974 reformers did. Some changes will work. Some won’t. Some will have unintended consequences. Most will take time.

Political scientists love to say, don’t draw lessons from the Virginia governor’s race, and then every midterm it’s like huge lessons should’ve been drawn from the results in the Virginia governor’s race.

There is a problem with every ballot scanner in Westchester County. We do not yet know the exact cause of the issue, whether it is the ballot or the machine. The Board of Elections is working with their vendors to resolve it. However, every ballot will be counted. Stay on line and vote. Do not leave the polling place without voting.

What does that mean? There's an undeniable Dem enthusiasm advantage, which we already knew. Paxton and Republicans are going to need a huge EDay to overcome what Talarico's already banked.

The Alaska Democratic Party chair is making this point on CNN and also arguing that the tale of the two Dan Sullivans (who he calls “Petersburg Dan” and “Ohio Dan”) has been a news story in Alaska for 4-5 months and it’s not exactly landing as a big bombshell in-state
if you think about it, it is wild that so many people really believed that they could fool an electorate that successfully *wrote in* “Lisa Murkowski”

Pope Leo XIV has voted in the midterm elections of the United States, expressing his “belief in the right and the duty of citizens to participate in democratic processes.” The Holy See Press Office announced on Friday that Pope Leo XIV, an American citizen, "has exercised his right to vote as a United States citizen, whenever he was eligible to do so." The Press Office confirmed that, “in keeping with this long-standing practice of civic participation, he has submitted his mail-in ballot in Chicago.” “The Holy Father has also confirmed that, during his years of residence in Peru he exercised his right to vote whenever he was eligible to do so,” noted the statement.
