Looks like looney levy can kick rocks

(shocked Pikachu)

I doubt it for the most part.

Where is the best place for live results?

I’m using the apple news spotlight.

For local Connecticut races?

How bad of a candidate do you have to be that with 0% of precincts reporting, 6 minutes after polls closing, they declare you the loser? How embarrassing for Willem Dafoe in a wig Levy.

Poor Discount Betsy DeVos. Back to doing whatever she was doing up until this past year.

Not sure, I’m watching them all

[deleted]

If you forgot, the race we should all be watching is the 5th

That's right

Who cares, wake tomorrow and read the results. Its not like knowing real time does anything in elections. Its not like the voting changes whos in office tomorrow morning. Its not like sports.

I remember biting my nails last time it was between these two. It’ll fluctuate a looooooot.

There’s very few places that are already reporting so the numbers are going to be weird for a bit until some of the larger population areas report.

I’m not going to bother looking until the end. There’s too much anxiety around it when it changes so much.

Things are never interesting in this state. Smurfs wish they were as blue as Connecticunt.

This happened in 2018. I woke up at like 4am and Bob was up by like +10. The cities and large towns hadn’t reported much yet and they delivered Ned by the next day.

Same thing happened in 2020 in PA.

This happens every election. The larger cities that are primarily democrat voting take longer to count and will swing the vote to Lamont.

Nothing interesting, sadly this state never changes.

Give it until at least 10. My polling place is still counting.

Super early but George Logan has a huge lead.

Freaking Blumenthal....ugh.

I’m not sure that will be decided tonight even. Might be too close to call - at least for me, who will be asleep by 10 🤣

Good night, Bob.

NYT has a 3% lead but with only 1% voting. It’s too early to make any predictions. This race will be close.

Now Blumenthal and Levy… that we can predict lol.

It's 9am. Do you know where your tall husbands are?

Yes very early, anything can happen. Lamont and Blumenthal are easy ones.

Never understood this. Even if we didn’t have stats proving how purple we were anyone could walk outside an interact with a real human and easily tell we aren’t anywhere close to full blue

Strap in we're about to go on a wild ride!

Good night, Ned.

*turns lamp off*

did anyone see decent turnouts at their polling places? I went at what I thought would be a busy time and there was like 3 people including myself

Not in the governors office! Haha

You seem fun.

Yeah, Ned Lamont may stay governor

Not sure she knows what a rock (or multiple) is

It’s because of the adobo ad

Mine was hopping at 6:45 this morning!

Hayes has a lead now. We’ll see.

Smooch

60-40 right now, seems like people are overwhelmingly telling Republicans to pound sand.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's win is causing some serious drama in my friends circle here and the meltdown is glorious.

If you are this invested in elections, you are either mentally ill or a loser or both. It's mind boggling.

Idc about being fun, im being realistic. Go on with your night and accept the results tomorrow. You voted, did your part.

The downvotes prove the point

I swear him and Pelosi are robots

Isn’t there a character called Roz somewhere that Levy reminds me of? Monsters Inc maybe? I could be wrong

"Good night, Dusty".

Oh boy, this is gonna be...interesting.

Depends on which areas of the district are reporting. If it's the urban parts, then that number would be concerning.

I think Bob of Arabia should give it a go again in 2026. Third time might be the charm.

As a staunch liberal, this sorta bothers me because my wife's boyfriend is tall and good looking.

I went at 5:15ish after getting out of work expecting a mob since that’s a pretty standard “Getting out of work” hour, but there were honestly more Girl Scouts there selling cookies than there were voters lol (and yes, they got me on the way out….I mean come on, they take Venmo now?!)

I used to think CT was a very blue state. Then I visited California a few times. CT is most definitely purple.

He’s a replacement level democrat but he’s not a fascist. So he’s got that going for him.

I was initially going to leave my ballot blank for the US House race because of how poorly Hayes has preformed and how few fucks she's had to give for working class Americans here in her district...

But then the thought of a Republicunt being in office here made my blood boil and I had to swallow my pride and put aside my disdain for the Democratic Party and our backwards voting system and I gave her my vote on the WFP line.

This shit is nerve-wracking, seeing how close this shit is.

It's disgusting how many people are still willing to support a party full of bigots, fascists, and terrorists.

It's a real fucked up situation that I'm sitting here praying that a bitch that I don't like that hasn't done a damn thing for me or my community wins the election simply because I'd like to keep my human rights and a stable government and not have to fear for my safety.

I totally see your point and agree, but I think to some people the excitement of the competition is why it IS like watching sports. They've been paying attention all race...the way you'd watch a sports game beginning to end to see how the winner got there.

Personally I think there's fun in checking all the scores on Sportscenter as opposed to just the one game you watched.

Whats youre reasoning? Do you not feel like the elected positions that drive our nation controlling our freedoms is a big enough deal to be invested in? I can close my eyes and imagine the important things you invest your valuable time into.

"Good night John Boy."

We had 73% in Granby. Steady all day, but we usually have good turnout

I was so sad that there weren’t girl scouts at my polling place! I was all ready with cash and everything!

Down to 53-47

Pretty light in vtown. Good number of folks in the parking lot after sunset.

Sad that Farouk is looking rough vs Sommers. Was gonna be a hard thing for him to do, she's not disliked, but I thought he was a strong challenger.

Her ad said she's a "career American," so, I guess doing that.

Please seek counseling

Speaking of a party full of bigots. Did you know the longest serving member of the United States Senate was the Exalted Cyclops (top recruiter) of the KKK? Guess which party he belonged to?

Party politics have changed over the years. The democratic party was the one filled with slavery supporters etc. Back in the day. Again, a lot has changed.

Surely Joe Biden didn’t eulogize the Exalted Cyclops of the KKK at his funeral recently……right?

I find it truly disheartening that people like you don't believe that people can change over the course of their life. You're talking about something that Byrd said was the greatest mistake of his life, and that he had renounced any membership in the organization by 1952.

Why you'd want to lock a person's racist beliefs in amber and not allow for the possibility of change I have no idea.

Jahana Hayes sucks. I think the same as the prior poster

We can say it and it's ok. She's not a friend of people with jobs. Are you in her district? Do you see her "achievements?"

She touts how she fucks us over. I wanted to see her lose so next time around we can replace her with someone more who gives a shit about the people in the 5th.

Too bad we got gerrymandered into New Haven and Hartford.

Well cross your fingers that Lamont can get ranked choice voting off the ground in 2023 like he is promising. Then next time you could put someone else first, have her last, and still not vote for the GOP!

>Well cross your fingers that Lamont can get ranked choice voting off the ground in 2023 like he is promising.

I'm not holding my breath!

Yeah, the grand cyclops changed. Yo. If Strom Thurmond were a Republican he'd have been a KKK-Fascist Nazi till the day he died, not "changed with the party politics".

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/facing-the-denial-of-american-racism/

Democrats can be racist too. Say it with us. Democrats can be racists too.

Like Democrats who say I can't be successful + I'm disadvantaged because I'm a child of an immigrant + a minority.

What difference does it make if you vote for someone on the WFP line vs the democratic line if it is in-fact the same candidate?

Can a Republican ever not be a racist or a fascist to you?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2014/05/02/stop-calling-clarence-thomas-an-uncle-tom/

Bro. Democrats did not change. That's why I'm an independent..

[ I see that downvote. Clearly not. People don't change - Racist Democrats never changed. They just HID it. Stand behind what you claim and accept it when people say the SAME THING YOU'RE SAYING. ]

Yep. I know Republicans who are neither. Might want to reread what I wrote because I don't think you understood it.

We're just well gerrymandered.

You're helping a third party stay on the ballot and keep their recognized third party status.

The WFP does sometimes run their own candidates and it's my hope that should we get ranked choice voting that they would become much more committed to progressive policies, although I don't think they'll ever get my first vote in that scenario considering their record and my desire to support parties with more bold plans for change.

Do you pay taxes? Maybe got a kid in school?

Nah. That's what I thought.

So if no one used their line to vote for the democratic candidate they would get dropped from the last ballet? I DID think it was odd that they were on the ballet this year with zero of their own unique candidates …

They admitted to voting for someone they hate because of some defect in their brain where they think one side is better than the other. All politicians are useless. But whatever, everyone knows Reddit is a liberal circle jerk. Most people on here fall over themselves to get together and group-think in their echo chamber. Please downvote me.

Bristol had about a 50% turnout and went red

I wish I was privileged enough to say something like that. You live in a bubble, seeing as "Fairfield County" is your flair. Real people are effected here, my friend. This shit will drastically effect a lot of people - you just don't feel it yet because you're likely not in the many marginalizations of society, seeing as that's your perspective. Incredibly abrasive and indifferent.

Listen to your friends, they seem smart.

I’m Bob Stefanowski and I’m embarrassed to lose this election.

You’d have to be literally retarded to believe the Democratic platform/candidates disadvantages minorities more than the Republican platform/candidates. But go on fighting your culture war…

Lmao you argue Republicans can change in your first statement, then state Democrats never changed in your second. If you can’t see the irony you’re beyond help

Hurr durr both sides amirite-skis? Russian bot or idiot, not sure which

[deleted]

I’m a Russian bot

Woops

Really it’s about to be interesting? This state is usually much of the same. Wouldn’t say it gets too interesting

Did I say that or did you assume that?

You are actually retarded if your mind works the way your mind just worked.

Actually, not literally.

Psst, truly stupid people go insulting the intelligence of others - like YOU just did. I didn't start that, you picked up that retarded gauntlet.

Congrats on winning that Stupid Prize, white boy ( or person who doesn't hear what democrats, in fact, are saying .. when they describe minorities as inferior. )

https://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poem/poems_burden.htm

( Word for word describing what democrats do. )

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Man%27s_Burden

Now read what it means. Of course unless you wish to remain the ignorant person you present as.

Here you go proving my point.

Fuck off please.

"Beyond help" - buddy, read this:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

The article is all about people who think like you.

“Good night, and good luck”

Perhaps if you have personal support system you will not rely on the effing government so much. These people don’t work for you. When will Americans wake up and take care of themselves.

This is truly a sign of a declining nation economically when the citizenry are putting stock on the celebrity cult of leaders like Biden, Trump, Pelosi, AOC etc

>people are still willing to support a party full of bigots, fascists, and terrorists.

Stop posting false statements.

Is it too much to ask that the leaders of our country don’t have a background as Exalted Cyclops of the KKK? I don’t think so

>It's disgusting how many people are still willing to support a party full of bigots, fascists, and terrorists.

Systemic racism exists, and politicians are the system. All of them. Anyone who has held office is guilty.

Was there ever any doubt? It's Connecticut, and stefanowski would be a shit candidate even in a state where Republicans have a chance

That doesn't mean it's acceptable to support a party which literally tried to overthrow the federal government.

That also doesn't mean I have to support the other major party. The only real difference is the Republicans say the quiet part out loud.

Again, you’re talking about a guy who passed away 12 years ago and hadn’t been a member of that organization in 58 years before that. If you think this is relevant to today, then OK.

Of those 4 politicians you named, how many have significant t-shirt and hats sales? Which ones specifically?

I was making a joke….

My bad

Where do we draw the line? If Hitler survived WWII and denounced his Nazi affiliation, should he be allowed to be a Senator?

Nope.

But you have no problem forgiving the top recruiter for the KKK? Do you understand how insane that sounds?

Your party is still endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan and you want to talk about a guy who was last in their ranks 70 years ago. It’s a bold choice, I’ll give you that.

Hahahah did someone just read Kipling in their US History course? That’s cute man, oh and you’re manufacturing a connection between that and the modern Democratic Party? Keep playing historian, you’re doing super

Hahaha you are just the embodiment of a reddit gremlin, bud. Which TIL did you pick that nugget up from? I’m in awe of how astute you are, really!

My party? How assumptive of you to presume I’m a Republican. I’m a registered Independent who voted for Ned Lamont yesterday, but nice try

Sure. Have a nice day.

Not everyone is a child like you, boy.

Doing the same thing you progresives do. You may grow up eventually. It would be for your own good.

If you're in college, my boots will be the ones you lick someday. Be happy I keep mine clean. Also, People like me can pick up the scent of shit like you quick. We've seen it all.

Tread carefully. 😘

Having seen and experienced more of the world than you will ever hope to, maybe?

I'm getting a very strong stink of undeserved arrogance from you.

Declining economically? Like the 50% you claim to have lost on a crypto coin? Personal support system? Like your wife you haven't told yet?

> Having seen and experienced more of the world than you will ever hope to, maybe?

...

> I'm getting a very strong stink of undeserved arrogance from you.

You couldn't make this up. Check your own shoes, or your pants maybe

Sneaky bastard.

Of course you don’t believe me, why would I lie? I don’t often vote blue, but I did yesterday for Lamont. Fact of the matter is, both sides are hypocrites and the Dems had the Exalted Cyclops of the KKK as one of their leaders. Racists on both sides

Fair enough that you feel like this. Again, have a wonderful day.

I will. Enjoy your delusions of grandeur that a KKK leader should be able to lead our country. Insane

OK. Thanks!

You’re welcome

Cinco de fiftho

Two words - ranked voting. But the two big parties don't want it because it's very purpose is to let other folks into politics.

The two party system is a binopoly and they don't want to let go
