Angry ginger Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 there has to be some other interesting political races out there. Here in NH district 1 we have a seat that IMO has been swayed by the liberal leaning college student vote at UNH to the detriment of the rest of us living in the district. I can see this being a Pub pickup if there is decent Trump turnout given a lot of those student voters are living at home in other parts of the state/other states.

Angry ginger Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 the UNH vote was down. No reason college kids are voting anywhere but at their real home which is where their parents who pay their bills are. Unfortunately not enough to make a difference and the dems held the seat. Durham turnout dips Upon the closing of Durham’s Election Day polls at Oyster River High School, Town Administrator Todd Selig and Town Clerk Lorrie Pitt reported that the town closed with an unofficial sub-8,000 ballot turnout, about 2,000 ballots less than anticipated. In the general election 2016, Durham set a town record with 9,721 ballots returned and Selig had predicted 10,000-plus in 2020. Selig unofficially calculated 7,896 ballots returned via the in-person and absentee voting process. Selig likened the lower turnout to students at the University of New Hampshire who either submitted absentee ballots in their hometown municipality or those who may have stayed home this semester due to COVID-19 and voted in-person in their place of domicile. “My bet is that many of those are University of New Hampshire students who are remotely commuting to campus from their parents’ homes, where their parents live. They are probably voting from where they’re living now, which is at home,” Selig said. With the last voter casting her ballot at 7 p.m., the ballot box contained over 4,100 ballots, and over 3,700 of the roughly 3,900 absentee ballots requested by town residents had been brought back to town officials before and during Election Day. Just after lunchtime Tuesday, Pitt had still been predicting a minimum 10,000 ballot return to the town. However, lines tapered off in the early afternoon and remained relatively quiet until the polls closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the Des Moines Register put a wrench in things drastically changing the polls over the weekend Iowa had some surprising races. Abby Finkenauer losing to Ashley Hinson for house seat 1 was a huge upset as was Joni Ernst holding on to her Senate seat.......well when you looked at polling outside the state or before the weekend.

Matt Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Arizona 207 passed, making pot legal and enacting an excise tax. I'm OK with this, except for the tax part AZ 208 also looks like it will pass. This is a terrible idea. Jacks up tax rates on high earners and small business owners. I moved here partly because of the individualist nature of the politics and lower taxes than tax hell Wisconsin. I may end up voting against this one with my feet.

This is exactly more evidence of the exodus of CA into AZ and bringing the policies they are fleeing with them. AZ unfortunately I think will end of being the lynch pin that lost it for Trump. I would say its conservative no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
