Not a primary, but some Democrat won a special election for a state senate seat in Missouri that's been Republican since at least 1992. Greitens dragging everyone else down with him?
 
Is this the beginning of the much vaunted Blue Wave that the MSM has been hyping up for the past two years?

Is he one of those moderate types? Because usually Democrats with a more center leaning tend to have better wins which is not a bad thing.

No it because of local politics shenanigans. Tl;dr is that Greitens took pictures of some intern he was banging in bondage gear, and it was all consensual, but the district attorney(who is a democrat) claimed it was "unlawful photographing" or some other bizarre law in order to charge him with a crime and to get a risque story in the news to usurp him. the district attorney got BTFO for shameless abuse but he still stepped down and a colleague of the DA got sworn in

i'm missing a bunch but it's mostly local politco's and the stupid games they play
 
Looks like the Republicans will make it to the general election ballot for governor in California, which is a good thing for them. There were concerns that they would get locked out if the Democratic candidates took both first and second place in California's weird universal primary. If the general election for governor there had not been contested, it might have discouraged Republican voters from going to vote at all which would have hurt all the other Republicans on the ballot.
 
It's actually frustratingly-difficult to find any solid, spin-free information on how the elections turned out overall, so far. I'd really appreciate just seeing some solid, no-nonsense statistics, but every news outlet has to pull their Red Wave / Blue Wave bullshit. I'm very interested in how so many districts in California wound up getting tossed, and how Republican candidates didn't get locked out of the general election there, though. That's pretty astounding, and a pretty significant "tell" considering that California should have been "Blue Wave Ground Zero."

I'm still much more interested in the actual midterms instead of the primaries, but from what I've seen so far, the Republican turnout was much higher than people were expecting. I will never ceased to be amazed by how Maxine Waters always survives every election by a fucking landslide, though. I've never seen her make a serious campaign effort, I've never seen her act intelligently, I've never seen a political rally for Waters that had more than like, 30 people in the room, and I've never in my life met someone who voted for her, but she always rakes in an ungodly majority of the votes. What the fuck is up with that? Where are her votes coming from?

Maxine Waters represents a district in which 48% of citizens overall and 63% of blacks were found to be functionally illiterate and unable to read maps or identify basic information.

Tl'dr she's a king among idiots.

That is astonishing. I don't think I'm even awake enough to process that amount of irony, yet.

Democrats: "Trump supporters are such stupid fucking illiterate rednecks, unlike us. :smug:"

Also Democrats: MaXinE 4 V0tE
