Fellow Pennsylvanians, the November general election is less than 100 days away. This election is much more than a Presidential vote, as the Democrat Party continues to accommodate extreme, far left groups and threaten our freedoms and Democracy. This Nov, State Dems are... (1/
...seeking to take control of the state legislature and pass sweeping reform to our Commonwealth's energy industry (costing us thousands of jobs), massive gun restrictions, increased taxes to subsidize the cities with massive budget shortfalls and gerrymander districts after..(2/
...the 2020 Census is completed. That is why it is CRUCIALLY important that all Pennsylvanians do their best to vote in their down-ballot elections. Based on Democrat donation patterns, I've identified approximately 20 seats that Democrats are desperate to flip and hold...(3/
🚨Huge GOP victory in TX #HD28🚨

2020 Dems like Biden, Warren, Bloomberg, Beto, Castro all got involved.
Biden even said: “This will set the tone for the entire general election in 2020.”

Beto O’Rourke called #HD28 “the single most important election taking place in the United States right now,” and a Dem win would “define...what is possible on a larger scale throughout Texas”
1/ Today is the special election runoff for Texas House District 28, a battleground race that's gotten lots of attention (and money) from national Democrats.
Here's what you need to know about it. bit.ly/2O7A2ut

2/ This is a special election to fill the seat of former Republican Rep. John Zerwas, who won reelection in 2018 by 8 percentage points while @betoorourke lost the suburban Houston district by 3. bit.ly/2O7A2ut
@BetoORourke 3/ Why does this matter?
In addition to holding on to the 12 seats Democrats flipped in 2018, the party only needs to pick up nine in 2020 to win control of the Texas House. #tx2020 #txlege bit.ly/2vvxsbd

On the ballot tonight: 3 special elections for the State Legislature, the Houston mayor's race, and 10 statewide constitutional amendments. Also a ton of municipal elections (both candidate and initiative).
THREAD on races to watch & how to roughly interpret tonight's results:
1. Dems are having a bad/terrible night if they: lose #KYGOV, #MSGOV, fail to take over the VA House of Dels. and only muster a 20-20 tie in VA Senate by picking up #SD13
(unlikely)

A high point of my time on Twitter has doing my #overlookedelectionstakes thread, after the 2018 midterms: stuff that's way under the radar, but so crucial. Tomorrow is Election Day 2019 , and all but a handful of elections are way too neglected. Time for a preview. New thread.
In 2018, Navajos won a majority of seats on the county commission of Native-majority San Juan County, Utah, for the 1st time, after a legal fight to make that possible. So white residents want to change local government again. Organized a referendum. #overlookedelectionstakes
Corey Stewart (the neo-Confederate GOPer in #VASen in 2018) has long been chair of board of Prince William Co. It's a large, blue-leaning county in NoVa, but Stewart has kept it closely tied to ICE, among other policies. He's retiring. Can Dems pick-up? #overlookedelectionstakes
