“Why is it always Florida with the problem?”

Exactly! That is the million dollar question BD.

Congrats to Ayanna Pressly on winning her race, becoming Massachusetts’ first Black Congresswoman.

And a BIG Congrats to each of the 17 Black female candidates who ran, and won, their respective races in Harris County Texas (the largest county in Tx).

“17 Black Women Sweep to Judgeships in Texas County”

The photo was unforgettable: 19 black women, all dressed in black, gathered in a mock courtroom in Thurgood Marshall School of Law. All of them were running for judgeships in November.

On Tuesday, 17 of them won their races by double-digits in Harris County, Tex., the nation’s third largest county, which includes Houston. Each of the lawyers, all Democrats ranging in age from 31 to early 60s, will join the bench in January for four-year terms in the civil, criminal, family and probate courts. […] NYTimes, 11-9-2018

“Sinema’s lead in Arizona grows as some GOP officials distance themselves from Trump’s claims of misconduct”

Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema’s lead over Republican Rep. Martha McSally in Arizona’s Senate race grew Sunday as some GOP figures continued to distance themselves from President Donald Trump’s claims of misconduct.

Sinema led by 32,169 votes as of 5 a.m. ET on Monday, CNN results show. That puts her ahead by 1.5 percentage points with more than 2.1 million ballots counted. – CNN

And I believe several more House races have yet to be called CA as votes are still being counted in that state. Dems could possibly end up with a net gain of 40 House seats when it’s all said and done.

Hear-Hear! …and Trump and his sycophants can just “get somewhere” Sit.Down and shut the heck up. They are pathetic….lol

Seriously though – as DJ correctly points out, Florida state law mandates that a recount is in order. Gillum and Nelson would be fools not to support such an action.

Btw- let this be a lesson for Gillum and other Dem candidates -don’t be so quick to concede to your opponent ESPECIALLY when the race is close AND you’re competing against Southern Repubs. “Dirty tricks” is all in a day’s work among those “good OLD boys.”

Stacey Abrams has a steeper hill the climb but I believe she is also doing the right thing – wait for every vote to be counted before conceding.
