Election results!

[tanaqui]

Use this post to talk about the results.

Are there any (unexpectedly) good results in your district or state? Or in districts where you've been volunteering though organisations like Swing Left or Sister District? Are there any results you're excited about for candidates outside your district that you've been following/donating to (perhaps from the various slates we've posted)?

Share the squee or commiserate about near misses!

ballot initiative wins

[redbird]

Both the ballot initiatives I made calls for—Yes on 3, to keep trans rights here in Mass., and Yes on 4 to restore 1.4 million Floridians' voting rights—passed.

That's both good news objectively, and satisfying in terms of my work being rewarded. I don't like phone banking, but lots of data show it helps, so...

I'm so happy 3 passed here - I've been reminding friends and coworkers about it but Cannot with phones so I just threw money instead.

My partner cattitude couldn't deal with calling/talking to strangers either. So he appointed himself as my support: I talked to people, and he told me "well done" and supplied a home-cooked dinner. And money is useful too.
