2017 Special Elections

Post by Skjellyfetti »

Kansas, Georgia, and Montana have some pretty intriguing ones.

Kansas votes today in a district Trump won by almost 30 points.

Looks to be neck-and-neck.

Hoping Thompson can pull out a bit of a miracle. :nod:

Estes is leading by under 1000 votes in the Kansas special election. I think he'll end up winning, but this was supposed to be a solid red district...

Looks like Estes wins relatively easily. Wins by about 8,200 votes (out of 120,000 total votes) or about 6.8%. Nowhere near what Pompeo won by but still comfortable.

JellyBelly was spotted going door-to-door for Thompson with a fistful of $50 bills.

GA-06 is today.

Ossoff needs over 50% to win outright. Most likely headed for a runoff in June. But, we'll see! :thumb:

Poor Dems. Oh so close in so many of these with nothing to show for it. You'd have thought the 24/7 character assassination of Republicans by the MSM the past several months would have secured some sort of payoff, but nope.

The singer is a nice guy and all but zero political experience that I'm aware of and finiancial problems on top of it.....I'm so pissed at the Dem party right now. You'd think they could come up with an actual viable candidate?!!!??? :jack:

Ossoff might win a plurality but not a majority. And when the runoff comes he'll get shellacked.

His only chance was to split the Conk vote 11 different ways. Karen Handel (a POS on her own right) will win going away now. The state of Georgia loses on this one. :ohno:

Yes, but the conks are spending money to hold seats that should have been safe. :thumb:

Don't worry, Baldy. Hilldog has assured us that sexism is a strong force in elections. She has no chance.

That's why he has a decent chance in the runoff. There are a lot of Republicans who won't be that thrilled to vote for her.

I don't know if Ossoff will win... but, I don't think Handel wins that easily. It's going to be within a few percentage points, imo.
