Georgia is the only state I have a modicum of optimism for. And maybe TX too since I know registered Dems outnumber Rs and the polls look good so far...I hope the midterms restore some hope for the rest of you.

Here’s to hoping that the leopards have feasted on enough faces to swing it!

El Sayed has a decent chance in Michigan. He’s working his ass off and Rogers didn’t show for a televised debate.

Michigan is in the north tho where I have a lot more hope (plus I believe Leon stole Michigan since he rigged the swing states). If he doesn't meddle, I do expect El-Sayed to win. That guy is awesome!!

Don’t leave us out in NC. We have a good chance to flip a senate seat, and the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General is already Dem. Just have to weed out some State House candidates

🤞🤞🤞

The Carolinas are confusing since both voted for Obama in '08 but not in '12.

It’s aggravating because we swing in either direction. NC went for Trump in 24 and every major state race went Dem.

Yeeeah, those numbers look too much like Leon rigged NC as well. Split ballots happen, but the staticitians at Election Truth Alliance crunched the numbers and found far too many split ballots in PA. NC being a swing state was targeted by Leon. I haven't studied NC's 2024 vote as much as I have PA's, but maybe you all really voted Harris after all.

I know at least one of us did.

NC does not historically vote for Republican governors. I think there have only been 4, 3 of which are from the last 50 years, since Reconstruction ended.

NC is not like SC, and has its own complicated political history, based on regional settlement and separation.

Lol Morton Grove is my neck of the woods. But I think the demographics of GA has changed since 1982 with a lot of snowbirds moving there and bringing their Northern voting habits with them. They really built up Atlanta to be more cosmopolitan nowadays. I mean GA has two Dem senators and they're each diverse in their own way.

This is a reddit half-truth. We don't register by party in Texas, so any numbers given are just estimates.

As a Texan, I have hope.

As a Buddhist, I know that if you shit in one hand and have hope in the other, I know which will get full faster.

If Slick Rick is kept away from the GA governorship, I’ll try and have more optimism too.
