THREAD on races to watch & how to roughly interpret tonight's results:

1. Dems are having a bad/terrible night if they: lose #KYGOV, #MSGOV, fail to take over the VA House of Dels. and only muster a 20-20 tie in VA Senate by picking up #SD13

(unlikely)
2. Dems having a weaker-than-expected night if they:

Lose #KYGOV & #MSGOV

Win VA Senate 21-19 by adding: #SD10 (Sturtevant)

Win VA House of Dels. 51-49 by flipping #HD91 OPEN (Helsel), #HD94 (Yancey) but nothing else
3. Dems having a good (but not terrific) night if they:

Lose #KYGOV & #MSGov

Win VA Senate 23-17 by adding: #SD07 OPEN (Wagner), #SD12 (Dunnavant)

Win VA House of Dels. 53-47 by adding: #HD42 (Hugo), #HD76 (Jones)

#Election2019 for @VaGenAss is less than 2 weeks away. I have thoughts.

As I wrote for @RVAmag this week, I think #BlueWave is (probably) still cresting, with @vademocrats likely to take back #VAGeneralAssembly

Basic numbers still favor Dems by far. Dem fundraising is good, including record haul for @debrarodmanva; still getting tons of outside $$, as I told @vpm earlier this month

FIRST RESULT: Julia Salazar, who was backed by DSA, wins against state Sen. Martin Dilan. It wasn't close. (@AP has called it.)
2ND RESULT: Robert Jackson defeats state Sen. Marisol Alcantara in in #SD31. Alcantara was a member of the IDC, which allied with the GOP.

First IDC incumbent to lose a primary tonight (🚨), and likely not the last.
3RD RESULT: state Sen. Diane Savino wins the Dem nomination in #SD23. Savino was a member of the IDC.

First IDC incumbent to *win* a primary tonight. In fact, she's likely to be the IDCer who wins by largest margin.

Hearing that Patty Schachtner has won the #SD10 special election in Wisconsin. Epic upset in this 55-38 Trump district that's been held by a Republican since 2000.
These numbers are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Republicans spent a lot of money to keep this supposedly safe seat-- over $128k in outside spending vs. about $40k. Oops.
