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!

(Posted early because I'm out for the evening and want to make sure this is ready for when you need it!)

Looks like the ranked-choice voting count is still ongoing with a potential lean to Golden? *bites nails some more*

I had to come and tell you as soon as I saw!

And it’s really clear he won because there was ranked voting, which is one of those civic reforms like universal pre-K that I am very passionate about.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee *flaps hands in ineffable delight*
