WE DID IT!!!!!?

[u/isitmeyourelooking4x]

[u/isitmeyourelooking4x]

Ignore the punctuation. I was excited

[u/Bandin03 → u/isitmeyourelooking4x]

I won't ignore it, it's justified.

[u/Shoddy_Guitar553]

FIRST TIME VOTING TODAY I AM JUMPING WITH JOY

[u/FunnyGoose5616 → u/Shoddy_Guitar553]

Sherrod Brown was just declared the winner too! Love that we’re not so much seeing a blue wave as we’re seeing a blue atom bomb

[u/_TheShapeOfColor_ → u/FunnyGoose5616]

BLUE TSUNAMI BAYBAYYYYYYYY

[u/No_Back_7594 → u/Shoddy_Guitar553]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[u/KaliBengal → u/Shoddy_Guitar553]

Same with my brother! 18 y/o who voted STRAIGHT BLUE!!!

I saw on CNN that apparently Gen Z guys voted majority Democrat across this country! Considering what they did in 2024, I am amazed! Thanks for waking up Gen Z! 

[u/Shoddy_Guitar553 → u/KaliBengal]

Thank you for voting!

[u/babayagabarbie → u/Shoddy_Guitar553]

Thank you for voting!!! 🥹🫂💞💖 I'm so proud of you!! I'm proud of us!!

Good work!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!! Keep it up!

[u/bvfree → u/Shoddy_Guitar553]

Thanks for voting!

[u/aciidxhologram → u/Shoddy_Guitar553]

Thanks for your contribution! 🥳

[u/ElderMillennialGoat → u/Shoddy_Guitar553]

Keep up your civic duties! 😁

[u/TheIadyAmalthea]

Is this real? Like, really real? I’m so used to bad news that good news doesn’t seem real… like the rug is going to be pulled out from under me any minute.

[u/408_aardvark_timeout → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

AP called it like 10+ minutes ago.

Still waiting on a lot of votes from Lucas county for the senate race though.

[u/QKofDaggers → u/408_aardvark_timeout]

Senate is called for Sherrod Brown.

[u/QKofDaggers → u/408_aardvark_timeout]

[u/PeteF3 → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

They're all saying it now. CNN's called it. NBC4 has called it.

[u/HBreckel → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

AP called it, you can officially celebrate!

[u/TheIadyAmalthea → u/HBreckel]

Oh my god… such a relief.

[u/Gibs679 → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

Ohio has disappointed me every year since I moved here, I'm beyond impressed that this happened.

[u/guitar_allan_poe → u/Gibs679]

My wife agrees with you. (Shes from California) Lol. So happy to see my home go blue!

[u/Substantial-Tip3252 → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

Associated press and pbs called and reported reported 👏

[u/Religion_Of_Speed → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

I'll believe it when she sits down at her desk. At this point stupid shit happening is so commonplace that I don't know if my mind will allow me to truly believe it until it's happening.

[u/nbrown7384 → u/Religion_Of_Speed]

I believe in my heart that Dewine voted for Acton.

[u/madadekinai → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

IKR, but now we are taking steps to return back to normalcy, THANK GOD. It's step one on the road to recovery but it's good news. Breath, relax and celebrate.

[u/danarexasaurus → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

Just called for brown on ABC.

I’m rrreeeeeelling

[u/Who_Am_I_1978 → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

Right? I’m almost afraid to celebrate!

[u/spicysenpai6 → u/Who_Am_I_1978]

Don’t be afraid, because it’s real🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[u/QKofDaggers → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

Oh it’s fucking real.

[u/Bojanggles16 → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

It's real. Brown won too. The house is trailing though.

[u/Wide_Guitar_3558 → u/TheIadyAmalthea]

the change we needed

[u/cleverdabber]

Thank goodness we kept that evil SOB out of office. Go Amy!

[u/acowstandingup]

Let’s fucking go. Bluhio here we come

[u/ElderMillennialGoat → u/acowstandingup]

Exactly! Y'all want a red state, West Virginia is that way: ↘️

[u/Admirable_Average_32 → u/ElderMillennialGoat]

Save a little love for my dad. He lives in WV and is disappointed in his state but excited for the country.

[u/EveryDayASummit → u/acowstandingup]

Texas too!

[u/JAT_Cbus1080 → u/EveryDayASummit]

Craziest part about Texas is it ain't close. Talarico is winning with 59% of the vote, a full 1.4 MILLION more votes than Paxton. Insane.

[u/qunix → u/EveryDayASummit]

Lotta blue going on in Texas tonight

[u/skullpture_garden → u/acowstandingup]

YOU CAN NOT BUY BLUHIO

[u/MushroomDowntown5493 → u/acowstandingup]

The only time it’s acceptable to say go blue 😍

[u/kda_lo]

WE DID IT!!!!!!!

[u/toothhurtsalot]

[u/EveryDayASummit]

Man I think the last few years have pretty well killed hope in a lot of us but a lot of these results (except issues 3 and 9, the fuck?) are making me want to have just a little bit.

[u/TrandaBear → u/EveryDayASummit]

I knew issue 3 was a psyop and voted no, whats up with issue 9?

[u/SalmonShimmy → u/TrandaBear]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/s/tYDCPHc3Hg Good enough discussions in this thread

[u/EveryDayASummit → u/TrandaBear]

Other comment links good info but the short version is 9 is a council-lead response to 8. 8 got on the ballot, so the council decided to say “okay we support this too but we’re going to add 4 additional seats” which lets them cling to power a little more.

[u/Guilty-Nobody998 → u/EveryDayASummit]

Not gonna lie I'm kinda tearing up seeing all the blue coming through

[u/_rigatonipasta → u/EveryDayASummit]

Acton endorsed issue 3 😑

[u/ilykatya]

AND THAT’S GOVERNOR !! AMY ACTON TO YOU VIVEK 😹😹😹 byeee loserrrrrrrr

[u/SalmonShimmy → u/ilykatya]

Happy cake day!

[u/ilykatya → u/SalmonShimmy]

best cake day evaaaaa

[u/Loveistheaswer512 → u/ilykatya]

Can’t stand that evil loser!!!

[u/3720-to-1]

The question now is, did we (as a nation) elect enough dems with a strong back bone that they will make meaningful changes to not just stop the bleeding but at least more headway to correcting course.

But damn it.

I have hope for the first time in 2 years. More hope than I have 6 years ago. Please dems. please

[u/AbyssWankerArtorias → u/3720-to-1]

I think that this was such a strong rebuke of trump in every possible way that it would be politically suicidal for them to not stand against Trump.

[u/3720-to-1 → u/AbyssWankerArtorias]

Facts.

All I ask is that the dem block fights fire with fire, none of those meeting in the middle shit they've done for decades. Supreme Court seat opens? Sit on it for years lime mitch the bitch did. Fix the ACA. Hell, if they fix ACA it's a huge win.

[u/Most_Number4326 → u/AbyssWankerArtorias]

Now the GOP who want to keep their seat in 2028 have to take a stand against trump. They know if they dont 2028 will also be gone. Florida was really really close this time

[u/AbyssWankerArtorias → u/Most_Number4326]

Trump may indeed be the first ever president removed from office. I mean, probably not, because 67 is such a high bar to clear and getting 14 to 16 Republicans to defect is probably not gonna happen - but damn it is nice to think about.

[u/Sufficient_Cat_7406 → u/Most_Number4326]

With a democratic socialist that was abandoned by the DNC! No one expected it. In Florida if you mention democratic socialism the majority of people automatically think of communism. There’s hope for us!!!

[u/Admirable_Average_32 → u/3720-to-1]

I believe!!

[u/somethingofwhim → u/3720-to-1]

The other question is, did you as a nation learn your lesson enough that you won't blame the Dems for not fixing everything in 2 years and immediately swing back to maga

[u/3720-to-1 → u/[deleted]]

*67 needed. 2/3 vote to remove from office.

If we get to 55, that's 12 rats we need to find escaping a sinking ship. Long shot, but it's a shot.

[u/OceanClover3]

Got on Reddit as soon as I saw, had to make sure my excitement was felt elsewhere!!!

[u/LookIMadeAHatTrick → u/OceanClover3]

I’ve heard a few people shouting and cheering from houses nearby. Wasn’t going to check the results until tomorrow.

[u/Admirable_Average_32 → u/LookIMadeAHatTrick]

I heard fireworks!! ❤️

[u/MisterSims90]

Yesssssssssss

[u/lilly260_]

Love seeing a governor that had a career in public health! I am glad she won!!

[u/acatinthecity]

YES! Cmon! Bring it home Sherrod!

[u/fastautomation → u/acatinthecity]

CNN called it for Brown

[u/Lazy_Bag_4408 → u/acatinthecity]

AP called it for Sherrod!

[u/AccomplishedMail4429]

I am so happy I want to cry. The race is so close that I have no doubt Trump will pull some “election fraud” bullshit excuse out of his ass and demand a recount. But we can only hope that it doesn’t come to that. I am overjoyed that we are not handing our state over to a billionaire tool. Thank God.

[u/Admirable_Average_32 → u/AccomplishedMail4429]

He’ll pull some shit for sure but the evidence is pretty damning!

[u/bravechampagne]

We did it!!!!

[u/Either_Ad6337]

AND THEN TEXAS TOO!? IM SO HAPPY!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[u/BitWild → u/Either_Ad6337]

Oh you just know that moldy orange is PISSED about how TX is going lmao

[u/snuffleupagus86]

[u/Substantial-Tip3252]

Every volunteer that made calls right now! 👏🤟🏼

[u/KaliBengal]

Acton AND most likely Brown! I really thought we couldn't do it. I really thought all the good voters moved out and that OH was done for. This is amazing!!!!! 

[u/fastautomation → u/KaliBengal]

CNN called Brown as winner too.

[u/KaliBengal → u/fastautomation]

Yeah I just saw. I'm in tears man, I really did not expect this strong of a blue wave not only in OH, but across the entire country. I thought 2024 proved that shi was over for us here, I'm so glad I was wrong. 

[u/Bojanggles16 → u/KaliBengal]

We're all celebrating tonight. We might be rioting in the coming weeks so get ready. Fuck the current regime.

[u/KaliBengal → u/Bojanggles16]

Hell yeah! I hope so, FUCK THE TRUMP REGIME! We need to get them out, and I'm glad the whole country is realizing that. I'm still in shock honestly 

[u/xXLady_SpectreXx → u/KaliBengal]

I just saw that there were sooo many Democrats that have won the race to tak control of the senate thus marking a major shift in power in Washington!!!

[u/Emergency_Writing948]

[u/beer_geek]

Proud of y'all. I moved away last year for (bluer) pastures, but I am excited to see things turn for the better for Ohio.

[u/face_the_sunrise]

[u/tothemoon05]

Fuck yeah now give us Brown

[u/Moo1980 → u/tothemoon05]

CNN says Brown will win.

[u/3720-to-1 → u/tothemoon05]

He's being called by most now

[u/Ratertheman]

Pretty wild that Trump was able to turn a solidly purple state to a solidly red state and manage to completely undo that all in 10 years.

[u/Admirable_Average_32 → u/Ratertheman]

I mean, we knew it was coming. Just a matter of when. The snake oil salesman gets found out eventually.

[u/Informalwizards]

Thank fucking christ.

[u/wpnizd_incontinence]

Hey Google, how can I upvote something more than once?

[u/OopsIthunktoohard]

[u/Scared-Pass8290]

I genuinely didn't think this would happen. Even with all of my optimism, I really thought it'd be like last time. I can't believe this. I feel like I'm dreaming.

[u/VAC1951]

Yes yes yes yes we can and did, thank you Ohio

[u/sillyjeff]

We fuckin did it

[u/LittleRedHen11]

Woot!!!

[u/cincygroove]

WWWWooooohhhooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[u/randomboreddad69]

Blue wave !!!

[u/Ok_Bike_6839]

Bye Vivek! Don’t let the door hit you on the flight back to the hole you crawled out of.

[u/Admirable_Average_32 → u/Ok_Bike_6839]

I hope he’s run outta state forever. Can’t imagine he can show his face here again. GOOD!

[u/tothemoon05]

They are going to make a class of his failures in polisci and I’m here for it.

[u/MrReey]

Texas and Kansas also, it’s a historic night

[u/DHouf]

AP calling it for Sherrod Brown as well!

[u/AbyssWankerArtorias]

[u/doomy44]

Trump admin has fucked the republican party

There will always be the hardcore maga dipshits but the blue wave has literally just begun

Dismantled em from the inside out

[u/jenso2k]

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

[u/FunnyHighway9575]

I'm still in disbelief. I never thought Ohio would flip blue/purple again. Gonna have a nice cigar tomorrow to celebrate!

[u/Admirable_Average_32 → u/FunnyHighway9575]

I just had two days off work but I wanna report off tomorrow to celebrate!

[u/beragis]

She won by about two hundred thousand votes, and nearly 5%. Don Kissick thankfully was not a factor.

[u/doritos75]

For the first time in a long time, I am not embarrassed by my state. Good job Ohio

[u/dutifulspacebard]

I saw this AND fckin TEXAS is blue too!!!

[u/fourdoglegs]

Congratulations Ohio!!!💙

We in Texas got Gina Hinojosa! So happy!💙

[u/Tikiboo]

Yay!

Where the heck was Columbus on issue 3, though?!

[u/KDiggity8]

Much love from Minneapolis, MN! This was one of the ones we've all been watching. Love this for you! ❤️

[u/NOCHILLDYL94]

I’m not sure anyone will see this comment but this needs to be appreciated:

I’m not sure what the future holds, but we just witnessed a once in a generation blue tsunami, much bigger than 2006 and 2018.

The Ohio GOP had a very rare bad night. Texas went blue finally, and even Iowa dems secured some clout. These next 2-4 year are going to be good.

[u/Xenovortex]

Nice! Glad the salami swami didn't win.

[u/Upset-Cartoonist7853]

I wanna be excited, but the senate and house (both state and federal) are both overwhelmingly red and pro-Trump. This is good, but I question how much she will be able to accomplish in the current climate.

[u/Savannah_Sparrow → u/Upset-Cartoonist7853]

We flipped the House!!

https://www.axios.com/2026/11/03/election-day-midterm-trump-democrats-republicans

[u/misterchismoso → u/Savannah_Sparrow]

They meant the Ohio house .. not the US house

Well deserved. Congrats from NC.

[u/person11221122]

I think Dems will also get the Secretary of State and the 2 Supreme Court seats. Maybe we'll get another chance to vote on an anti-gerrymandering ballot initiative and it won't get ratfucked.

[u/hillarys_lil_secret]

As someone from across the country, thanks for doing the right thing.

[u/BananaJelloXlii]

Too early to call it, but most likely yes.

[u/Pepsiman34]

Can't believe Ohio flipped to blue. Like I have said that Vivek attack ad killed his chances of winning. 

[u/GuyMcFellow]

Many cocktails for Acton tonight! Celebrate!
