I actually haven't watched any returns. I read about Kim Davis on Facebook, and then saw on Facebook that the House flipped, and that's all I've got in me tonight.
Thanks to the House flipping, I don't have to take more Ativan to get some sleep.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

I'm seeing things called on facebook that my NPR chart has not called yet, so I am going to stay off Facebook.

House has flipped, but Cruz won and Gillum lost. We still have some battles to face.

What is even happening?
Despite the regaining the House, I feel so let down about and for Gillum and O'Rourke. Kemp's ahead of Abrams now in Georgia, and I think the Snake person is going to beat out Senator Nelson in FL.
Then I watch the MA news and it's almost all good, except (as expected) our Republican governor held onto his seat. Still, he's not a Trumper and he's pro-choice (and the win was very expected) and gun sane.
I think I'm going to end my news binge on local news, where things are much better. We even approved a ballot measure to uphold our already-in-place protections to transgender people in public accommodations.
Thank goodness we rode whip-smart-Millie out on a rail. She could have cocked up the whole state.

But did you have to send her to Ohio???

I just sent her vaguely west. I couldn't kick a whip smart woman like her into the sea, where she'd be likely to whip up dolphin support for her madness. Dolphins are known rapists, and you know how Republicans love them -- rapists, I mean.
Now Elizabeth Warren is going to speak. ♥ her

FL flipped 2 house seats and VA flipping 2 makes me happy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
News is good here in Michigan so far. Flipped to a female Democratic governor, and got lots of cool new female blue House members. Hopefully the vote on legalizing weed will pass as well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Been watching the election results all evening. Disappointed about Texas and Florida and Georgia, but not surprised. My VA district 05 went for the Bigfoot-loving Republican instead of the nice centrist lefty woman, and I'm disgusted about that. McCaskill lost, I'm sad. Donelly and Heitkamp lost, but probably for voting against KavaNo. But everything else has gone pretty well. Over 100 women elected to the House for the first time. Muslim, LGBT, Native American, Black, Latino, lots of minorities taking seats. And most importantly, Dems have taken the House, and that is going to make for interesting times.
