@MWpatriot01 @Crankyoldboomer In fact, even if you want to go to the six in 2017, the GOP didn't even have a candidate in one and only overperformed in two: GA-06 and UT-03. Both high-propensity anti-Trump seats. They underperformed by ~10-15% in the other three. Should be noted we also have non-specials.

There really is not a ton of evidence that suggests 2026 is going to be a blue wave other than special election results.

@MWpatriot01 @Crankyoldboomer To add on: Special elections are low turnout affairs, with ideologues / engaged voters being the ones who typically vote.

Yeah, they have. But special elections are not always indicative of midterms or presidential elections for that matter. For example Republicans did very well in special elections in 2018 then in November it was a blue wave. Democrats also did very well in special elections in 2024 and we know how that turned out in November.

@earlyvotedata tbh, i thought the field would have winnowed by now… I was convinced the ICE drama in Maine would have compelled the Dems to unite behind a one candidate to hone the drama.

@GrantMa25066011 Here’s hoping this will actually materialize in November. Voting is the only poll that counts.

@PolPredictions Already planning on voting, hahaha! If I don’t vote, I have no right to complain about the trajectory of the country. Also, quick question: since the backlash against the ICE raids in Maine, do you think that will negatively impact Collins?

@Eli_Watz @ClownWorld I respect your determination, though. I wouldn’t last constantly jumping professions.

I get bored easily. Depending on where you work and your responsibilities, security can be different every day. I’ve seen cool things, and I’ve seen really sad things, but only a handful of really scary things. I’m basically a reporter/medic/investigator/damage assessor/supervisor. We don’t go hands on. I don’t want anything to do with that, that’s why we have cops that never want to do their job. 🌚

@earlyvotedata Been reading a lot of news lately on the Wisconsin governor democratic primary. Seems like Hong is favored to be the nominee. How do you think she’ll fare against Tiffany?

@earlyvotedata honestly, with everything that’s going on in this country, Republicans seem to not be doing so bad in the generic polling thus far. But then again, candidate quality + turn out are better indicators imo…

I feel like all those election models that had Maine lean Democrat with Platner should probably apologize now.

Platner is in such a state of grief, that he's probably going to leave his door unlocked and his windows open tonight.

@earlyvotedata Do you think Republicans have effectively held this seat - even if Platner’s replaced?

@NC_Patri0t With what’s happening in Maine, do you think it’s effectively a hold for the GOP - even if Platner ends up being replaced?
