For any other Wisconsinites, this will be my ballot when I leave to go vote in a little bit: Gov: Mahlon Mitchell Lt Gov: Mandela Barnes Sec State: Arvina Martin The other races are uncontested for my district so who cares. The candidates for both Lt Gov and SecState are all pretty OK so I'm not too concerned who ends up winning these nominations, but for governor I think Mitchell has the best shot at stirring up enough excitement to beat Walker in November. Plus I've met Mahlon before and he's really a great person. Evers is decent but I'm reminded way too much of Barrett and Burke and how "safe" and unthrilling of candidates they were, and I'm not sure the blue wave will be strong enough to push Evers past Walker. We'll see what happens tonight after the polls close, though.

Let's see how this goes. e: Walker has been wailing about this for months now. Since he's the slickest horror/politician to happen in WI in a hundred years, that's probably a good thing. e2: Cathy Myers isn't actually that bad as far as I know, but Ironstache seems to have sucked up all the energy and oxygen in the room, so he seems like a more likely winner in Nov.

A third of those surveyed were undecided. e: I'm still trying to parse the Ing loss (which was devastating) but this is another match-up btw a nationally known and funded candidate versus a candidate endorsed by local organizations oriented towards women causes. If Myers wins here, consider it another notch of Indivisible, whose decentralized push for women candidates is the overwhelmingly understated story of 2018.

as far as I know the main difference between them is that Bryce is all aboard the abolish ice train where as Cathy is concerned about security so go Bryce. Hopefully he won't be another Ing who had more tweets than gotv

Amy Klobuchar, the other Senator from Minnesota (this may be her literal campaign motto), is also in today's primary. Her primary challengers include a convicted murderer and some other people. She's probably not going anywhere. Also, Keith Ellison's old congressional seat is up for grabs. Whoever wins the Democratic primary here will probably win the election. There's a few good people in the running here, though I'm really pulling for Ilhan Omar. Hennepin County (Minneapolis) sheriff's election is actually noteworthy too, as the current incumbent is an ICE-collaborating piece of trash, and the guy looking to replace him is running on not being an ICE-collaborating piece of trash. And yeah, gently caress Richard Painter.

I was heavily considering Patricia Torres Ray but I dont want to hurt the chances of a progressive getting in, so going with the crowd on Omar. whats with all the crazy people running?

It's going to be interesting to see if Keith Ellison wins, since the allegations have kind of blown over for now and no one else has any name recognition. Either way Omar and Murphy are going to win and I will not have nightmares like I did after 2016 please god

In CT and i voted this morning, binches. Did not vote for that fuckin' crook, Ganim. He was literally in prison for 7 years and now is the mayor of Bridgeport or whatever. Jesus christ. Also voted for something something Zimmerman, as we could use another woman of color in office. The treasurer and the attorney general vote I just guessed cuz i hadn't heard of any of them. Thanks for reading!
