It looks like we won the majority in the Michigan State Senate!!! First time since 1983. This is huge and The States Project Giving Circles put lots into this!!! Having one chamber for 2024 will be so important if Trump loses the majority in the state. He will not be able to get the state legislature to swing the election or create chaos.I'm sure all the state leg candidates who knocked tons of doors helped Governor Whitmer and Sec. of State Bensen keep their seats too.
If there is a runoff in Georgia, PostcardsToVoters.org volunteers will be writing for it. They handwrote over 2 million for Warnock & Ossoff in 2020. But this time we have much less time so we are going to need so much help!! Get ready and convince friends to get ready too!! Get postcards and stamps! Think big.
So many thoughts running through my head… but yeah, Dems did really well considering, and even not considering. Looks like they will keep the Senate + 1, with or without Georgia, and the House actually is in the balance.
Word on the street is super Q Republicans are befuddled. I think Trump just made himself irrelevant.
And all the pro-life/pro-choice ballot measures went for pro-choice, so yay!
Look forward to your observations tomorrow. Thanks for keeping me sane 😁
Right now, the GA senate race is likely not going to decide the Senate, which as observers have pointed out may mean lots of people who held their nose to vote Walker to maintain senate control may not show up on December 6. Of GA, AZ NV Senate races - where Democrats are currently ahead in all three, R's have to win 2 of 3 to get control of the Senate. Ain't gonna happen.
If it comes down to R control of the House 219-216 or even 218-217 which is also predicted, watch Kevin McQarthy get tossed. A majority like that will be ungovernable. It will be the bunch of them jumping up and down and throwing their feces through the cage bars to shock observers,
Lauren Boebert is losing!!
Kari Lake, the Bimbette of Phoenix, is losing.
The Big Loser tonight is El Jefe Del Merde A Loco. Only JD Vance of his annointed has won. None of the election deniers running for SecState won. He has no way to steal 2024 even if the Rs take the house that narrowly. Watch next Monday come and go without a Bigly Announcement.
We won the secretary of state elections in Pennsylvania and Michigan, and are on track to win them in Nevada and Arizona too. These were great results for Democracy. Even if Trump does run again, he won't be able to steal those states. It's heartening to see the general public care about Democracy.

Super sad about GA and can’t believe how close the Warnock/Walker race is! There’s Johnson/Barnes...geeezzzusss! It’s hard not to be questioning where the messengers are in the Dem Party. That is our downfall...big time. Very glad CA passed the abortion language to be permanently put into our state constitution. As far as Trump is concerned, he became an albatross around their necks. The candidates wanted to throw him in the bushes and a lot did.
The election in Florida was a disappointment in many ways. On a 2-page ballot my choices prevailed in only a handful of races. But even then, there's much to be proud of. My district is sending Congress its first Gen Z representative, the remarkable Maxwell Frost! In Orange County, we held vital legislative seats. And in a deep blue Orlando precinct known as the Milk District, I joined other adopt-a-precinct volunteers to work the polls. We welcomed more than 1,000 voters -- many young and with kids in tow. We celebrated 2 first-time voters, and we worked to make voting an enjoyable experience for all. Our precinct voted overwhelmingly for Dems and progressive ballot issues. Democracy will not die on our watch!!
I am so proud of the efforts of Democratic supporters who stood up and fought for preserving Democracy. There were many small wins across the country in local elections, everything from house seats, mayors and governors etc and more importantly a new group of young voters, women and people of color came out for the first time. The turnout rate I am sure was off the charts. Democrats have to learn from this election and adjust accordingly and focus on fixing the economy and continue to recruit qualified candidates. I am predicting Congress will be deadlocked going forward but if the economy improves and we keep the loss of freedom of choice on the front burner we will go into 2024 in better shape. Democracy stumbled a bit but was not knocked out and we are still
Michael Moore wrote this encouraging piece as part of his Midterm Tsunami : “We win either way today because love and kindness always wins out over hate and greed….And when we win today (or tomorrow or 2024) we will fight to better the lives of everyone-including and especially the lives of those burdened with hate and confusion over what it should mean to be an American….
I was watching Fox this morning for 5 minutes so you don’t have to. Their guests were saying the quiet part out loud — TFG needs to go ….. he was responsible for the Repug losses.
Yippee, Robert! It's now 3:40 a.m. EST, so more good news has emerged since your newsletter published. Thanks for reminding us about all the prep work that you and we have done...donating, emailing, postcarding, tweeting, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. More than worth the effort!
Well you eased our pain going into this election and the lesson is we don't know what we don't know until it happens. Those Dems did not do so badly. Fetterman with his ease and hoodie claimed his seat and many other states in question having slim margins continue with unknown outcomes. But, at this hour the Blue and Red team is neck and neck. Tune in tomorrow to see if the Democrats hold onto the House and who will win the Los Angeles Mayoral race.
To all readers: I should have noted last night that the comments section is open to everyone today. Apologies for the oversight.

Whew! Amazed and relieved. I am proud—my fellow Americans voted against so many of the extremists.
You got it exactly right Boss. - Hold that optimism and don't believe the polls ! Democracy lives!
