7. Dems have been voting for the GOP only because Tim Murphy ran unopposed

Gerrymandering - it's the gift that keeps on giving.

The Democratic Party all but gave up in the 18th district (until now) because they couldn't find candidates to run against Murphy. All that is over now! Conor Lamb - bless his heart - had the courage to step forward and throw his hat in. The Democrats have somebody to get excited about and it has made all the difference in this race. Even if Conor doesn't win tonight he still can run again in the new redrawn district in the Fall that will be more Democratic-friendly.

I believe Lamb will win tonight, and it's going to be very, very close!
