Midnight: Kansas Governor’s race has been called, and Kris Kobach, the man who is arguably the worst politician in America (he is patient zero for the plague of voter suppression in America) will not be the next governor of Kansas. Congratulations to Governor-elect Laura Kelly.

Heidi Heitkamp, who has been down by double digits for the entire campaign, lost in North Dakota.

The Democrats have taken control of the house, picking up 28-30 seats, the Republicans have picked up 2-3 Senate seats, and the Democrats have picked up a at least 4 governorships, and I am finishing my 2nd beer, and I am going to sleep now.

Here is hoping that the Democrats subpoena Trump’s tax returns

11:30pm: Despite massive contributions by the head of Nike, the Dems hold onto the Governor’s mansion in Oregon. (F%$# Phil Knight, who thinks that he owns the state)

California polls have closed, so the Senate race, between two Democrats, and an indicted house member should make that interesting.

11:00pm: Gillum has conceded the Governor’s race in Florida, and it looks like the West Virginia anti-abortion amendment has passed.

I’m switching to the Daily Show for coverage.

10:30pm: The New York Times calls it for Ted “The Human Sh%$bag” Cruz for Texas Senate. Crap.

10:30pm: Governors races: Pickups by Dems in Michigan, New Mexico, Governor’s race.

10:00pm: Looks like a Democratic pickup in Colorado. And they are calling the Maryland Governor’s race for Larry “Governor Ratf%$3” Hogan, which is not a surprise, Ben Jealous’s campaign was really not too visible, and the party establishemtn was sitting on their hands.

In Illinois, the Governor’s race has been called for JB Pritzger, which is a step up defeated incumbent Bruce Rauner, but only a little one.

9:30pm: 2 pickups in Pennsylvania.  Court ordered redistricting making a difference here.  Charlie is done, so I get to start adding beer to my pretzels!

9:15pm: Ammendment 4 in Florida, restoring felon enfranchisement, look set to pass.  Should make 2020 VERY different Florida election, because that ads potentially 1½ million voters to their rolls, and these voters are overwhelmingly minority.

In Virginia, there are two incumbent Republican Congressmen, and a Barbara Comstock has lost to Jennifer Wexton.

9:05pm: I just went to the NYT wiggling needle, and saw an ad for F-Cup size brassieres. What the hell?  Manchin looks to be in good position, he is up by 8 points with 1/3 of precincts reporting, which is the one Dem I really want to see lose this evening.  There is also an anti-abortion constitution change on the ballot which is close.

It appears that Joe Donnelly (incumbent) has lost in Indiana, and Bresden in Tennessee, which which basically closes the door on the Democrats picking of the Senate.  My guess is that they will actually lose Senate seats.

8:40pm: Democrats need to pick up seats in the worst way, and, at least in Florida, the union-busting former university president Donna Shalala has picked up a seats for the Democrats. This was really her race to lose, because the district has been blue for a long time, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who is retiring held onto the seat ONLY because she is a FDWS (Friend of Debbie Wasserman “Clusterf%$#” Schultz), who kept her opponents weak.

8:35pm: Had to go out on an unsuccessful run for race lasagna, so I’ve just got to the keyboard.

Charlie is still at the polling place, so no beer yet, though I have had some pretzels (sourdough),
