Prop Q getting crushed, 70-30 with 2% reporting. Most of that is Wilco, but I’ve seen enough. My guess is that it settles in around 65% against. 

What was that? (Never mind just looked it up.)

Only hesitation I have on calling it is of course the far outposts of the city limits are gonna vote against it. All the pain with minimal payoff for them

What’s cool is that the small positives coming out of today’s results will cause 2 things:

1. Trump to claim election fraud and use it as an excuse to suppress the vote in blue counties next November.

2. Dems will claim the tide has turned and take their foot off the gas and fuck up in 2026.

 

The flickering ember inside of me is thinking that these No Kings rallies 2 weeks ago juiced turnout and there’s now some small momentum that just needs to be sustained for 12 months, and from there we can finally start to heal.

One thing is for sure, Democrats in congress should not cooperate with the Trump administration in ANY way.  The more pain his base and the unengaged feel, the swifter the tide will turn.

Everyone is voting against it. I’ll be surprised if it wins more than a half dozen precincts

Alright, here's my micro somewhat interesting local race

Wake Forest, NC - erstwhile small town (and once but no longer home to the university, who moved out in the 50s and left the campus to the Southeast Baptist Seminary) and now rapidly growing suburb of Raleigh. Mayor Vivian Jones has been mayor since 1999 when the town was probably 1/4 the size it is now. I'm not sure what her politics are exactly, but she's very old guard anti change and caused a bit of a kerfuffle when rescinded the town proclamation of Pride Month. There is an organization that promotes LGBTQ pride/safety/etc which is nice in what could easily be described as the Round Rock of Raleigh. Apparently, the seminary pressured Jones to rescind the proclamation, which she did, and managed to piss everyone off in the process.

Ben Clapsaddle is an ex military democrat who... I don't know that much, but he seems solid, he's the dem candidate.

 

Meanwhile in the board of commissioners, Pam Jones and Thomas Dement are running together, they have some outside money and a lot of signs that look well designed and don't try to tell the story that is made clear by their respective haircuts

Sliwinski (R) and Shackleford (D) are both incumbents, I'm not sure who Zavala is really but Haseeb Fatmi is a progressive.

Things are looking good for Clapsaddle and the two D commisioners right now, but very early.

Fucking shitass 4th estate. Why can't they just call Trump a fucking liar? 

Also, sent in my absentee ballot for Mamdani yesterday. Felt good.
