BTRTN: Can the Dems Really Win Three Red State Governorships Tomorrow?

[tgards79]

"There will be many, many elections across the country tomorrow (Tuesday) on Election Day. Our goal here is not to immerse you in Election Day minutiae, but rather to focus on the most consequential elections. And they are the three gubernatorial elections, in Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi, and the elections to determine the composition of both chambers of state legislatures in Virginia, Mississippi and Louisiana, and just the General Assembly in New Jersey.

Either party can win the three gubernatorial races, and the Virginia legislature (both chambers) is up for grabs as well. These are truly bellweather election for 2020. (The other legislature contests almost surely will remain under the control of the incumbent party.)

Russia got into all election systems in 50 states. They know the weaknesses and can exploit to Change votes and put repukes in.

That said, I hope I am WRONG !

5. bellwether?

To be fair VA , the turnout and outcome may be bellwether but KY, MS and probably LA are not. Sure, a close election would be significant but a GOP loss ( yes, I know LA has a Dam gov but the last election was an outlier big time) would be a sign of catasophrie for GOP.
