2. K&R. n/t

[gratuitous]

3. Another one?!

Damn, the popular media are going to have to work real hard to overlook this. C'mon Trump, say something stupid again, and suck all the air out of the room.

[El Shaman]

83. Don't distract

he busy with firings and parade chit!!

[GallopingGhost]

4. GREAT news!

One of many more to come.

[musicblind]

48. Welcome to DU. n/t

[leftynyc]

55. WE don't need to cheat

There are far more of us. That's why the repulsive cons try and suppress the vote whenever they can.

.... Excels at illiteracy - but considers themselves at the top of the human gene pool.

59. Sniff sniff...

Do I smell troll?

Voter fraud is completely unacceptable, and your attempt to elicit support for it here seems awfully suspicious.

Also: spell check is your friend.

[tazkcmo]

61. That was the red flag wasn't it?

Ketch? Lol

[thucythucy]

63. Clearly the idea was to post something stupid here

and then run to some right wing website and cite this as an example of "liberal cheating and stupidity."

Hope the meta people are keeping an eye on this.

Best wishes.

[Eliot Rosewater]

79. Democrats, liberals dont cheat and dont need to, there are WAY more of us than them.

The ONLY way republicans win is cheating, gerrymandering and the KGB, as we now know.

Thank you for identifying and slaying said post.

[Scurrilous]

5. K&R

[NewJeffCT]

6. more good news

thanks for posting

[Tatiana]

7. Young Dem prevails again.

I see a pattern emerging...

Congratulations to Mr. Revis. He seems to come from a working-class background and wants to ensure there is still a safety net for Missouri residents.

[Lil Missy]

8. Great news! I'm more and more feeling like the reds are gonna get spanked in the mid-terms!!

[MLAA]

41. And instead of Forbes. They will get spanked with Washington Post! Ouch!

[mountain grammy]

9. All right! Great news.

Now let's flip that PA seat, Conor Lamb! Go get em, Marine!

[RandySF]

10. Next up is a state house seat in Florida

[Blue_true]

19. What part of Florida? Who is the candidate? nt

[hay rick]

31. Sarasota, Margaret Good

State House District 72. Our county party has held 3 phone banks for Margaret and we have 2 more scheduled. The election is on February 13. Of course, Florida has vote by mail and early voting, so half or more of the votes will likely have been cast before election day.

[Demsrule86]

11. Wonderful news!!!!!!!!

[lkinwi]

12. I think Rachel is going to talk about it next.

[CatWoman]

14. she's talking about it now

[BadgerMom]

13. Very, very good news!

Congratulations, Mr. Revis.

[Snake Plissken]

15. The GOP is going down faster than Trump mowing through a couple of buckets of KFC Chicken.

November can't come soon enough.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Down faster than a Trump bear market. . . nt

[trueblue2007]

16. RACHEL MADDOW just covered this story.

[keithbvadu2]

17. Every GOP candidate should have his picture paired with a picture of Trump.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Exactly! Weld and re-weld the brands of Republicon politicians to Trump, repeatedly.

Trump and Trumpanzees are the intended culmination of 40 years of Republicon social engineering and electoral manipulation (suppression, gerrymandering, dirty tricks, and conspiracy).

The USA population / electorate is fundamentally and decisively progressive, liberal, fiscally responsible, and Democratic.

RepubliCons are the Power Party (Party & Power over Country). Democrats are the adults in the room, more highly actualized as social interconnected beings.

United Democrats are strong!

[ismnotwasm]

18. K&R!!!!

[Blue_true]

20. Good news. nt

[Matthew28]

21. Wahoo!

Another democrat is currently slightly ahead in another seat. Hoping he can pull it off too!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. yeah but whatabout

Don't look at that!

Hillary! Obama! No collusion, no collusion! Demoncrats will eat your babies!

Bwahaha.
Roll on blue tsunami.


(Don't y'all run out of blue paint before we get rid of Bevins).

[sheshe2]

27. "Roll on blue tsunami."

Indeed!!!

Welcome to DU, Hermit-The-Prog.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. thank you

[Leghorn21]

23. K&R!!! clap clap clapping!!!

[BlueDog22]

[xmas74]

38. As a local party officer

I'm beaming from ear to ear.

Let's hope we can ride this wave into November.

[Upthevibe]

44. xmas74....soooo cool that you're at one of the

local offices!

[xmas74]

64. Just a county club/committee.

Still, it's something everyone can do.

[lapucelle]

51. Great work!

Thank you for your commitment and service.

[xmas74]

65. I haven't done much.

Our group is working towards November.

[John Fante]

34. B-b-but Rasmussen said the Cons are in great shape.

Trumpism is super popular right now.

[lagomorph777]

67. Assmussen will need to find a new sponsor

after we erase all the people they claim are winning.

[SWBTATTReg]

35. Yeah!! Missouri, the show me state!!

Way to go Mike Revis!

[Gothmog]

36. This is a major upset

[xmas74]

37. Let's hope this is the momentum to

Keep McCaskill, replace Vicky Hartzler with Renee Hoagensen and to elect Hillary Shields in November!

[Puzzler]

39. This is yuge!

-Puzzler

[brooklynite]

40. A seat Trump won by 28 pts.

[Cha]

50. Good sign somebodies are paying

[BigmanPigman]

42. .....

[ffr]

43. This is one step closer to Making America Great As She Was Before Conservatives Took Over.

MAGASWBCTO

[triron]

46. They came damn close in another one also

that should have been a Republican rout.

[sprinkleeninow]

47. Shut the front door!! 👍

Woot! 🤸
Attaway! 🎉

💙🇺🇸💪🗽

[Cha]

49. Mike Reves! Mahalo, Randy!

[IronLionZion]

52. All politics is local! Every little election is important

Dems can win nationally again by winning these types of state house races in red and purple states

[beachbum bob]

53. 31 point swing, if we manage a 10pt swing in every election in November, the numbers would staggerig

Could gain 5 senate seats and 70 House seats. This why any implication of democrats failing is pure bullshot and must be treat as fake news to detract democats

Democrats flipped a Missouri state House seat Tuesday, marking the 35th seat that has changed from red to blue since Donald Trump become president.

Mike Revis, 27, defeated his Republican opponent in a special election Tuesday by 3 percentage points.

The 97th District in Jefferson County went for Trump in the presidential election by 28 points.

[LAS14]

73. Thanks for this detail!!! We have no TV access at the moment. nt

Do you have any info on the turnout?

[syringis]

54. Congratulations !! Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

See Mr so-called President ? Where did you get the idea Dems are reluctant to clap ?

[logosoco]

56. Great news!

SO happy for this young man, too! I saw a sign for him around my area and checked him out. We were not even part of this special election in my district, but he goes to a church here so now I am thinking that could have been a fellow parishioner. But he looks like JUST who we need to be on the ticket for the Democrats in MO.

[gademocrat7]

58. K&R!

[workinclasszero]

60. Woohoo great news!!!

The blue wave gathers strength and is coming to wipe out the Trump traitor party this fall!!!!

[mcar]

62. Great news!

[lagomorph777]

66. This is a +30 flip; another race was +23 (though unsuccessful).

Big big news.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

68. Yay!!!!!!

[keepleft101]

69. Hells Yes!!!!

[dicksmc3]

70. great victory

This a great victory considering Missery is full blown republicon. But 3 other seats remained in Republicon hands. I was hoping for more progress you can't win then all. Congrats to Mike Revis.

[TonyPDX]

71. Democrats flipped one seat, GOP held three others.

Step by step, though.

[treestar]

72. This keeps happening

and we may get common sense back in government !

And State Houses can stop the gerrymandering!

[bearsfootball516]

78. All four seats were in deep, deep red territory

Even swinging just one of four has huge implications for November.

[Politicub]

74. The blue wave

Is building momentum across the U.S.!

[smirkymonkey]

76. Excellent news!

[oasis]

77. Let's flip Mizzou from red to blue.

[pintobean]

80. That makes the Mo house 115 Rs to 47 Ds

just to put things into perspective. It's great that we picked up this seat, but we have a long way to go.

[jayschool2013]

82. How does that happen?

Sounds like some serious gerrymandering.

[Gothmog]

81. This is great news

[njhoneybadger]

84. Well done MIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
