Sam Bankman-Fried (openly) funded the Protect Our Future super PAC. In NY, it backed Josh Lafazan #NY03, Laura Gillen #NY04 and Francis Conole #NY22.
SBF groups spent on Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, too, and endorsed Rep. Ritchie Torres (#NY15) and Max Rose.

Bankman-Fried also donated millions to other groups, e.g. Dem-backing Senate Majority PAC. And there was apparently a lot of dark money we don't even know about. But Protect Our Future seems like one where SBF and/or his brother picked who to support.

At the state level, Bankman-Fried-funded Protect Our Future PAC also spent big on Assembly Member-elect Alex Bores (@AlexBores).
Hard for me to immediately tell how much $$, because the state campaign finance reporting site is bad.

2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander
A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)
To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter

Methodology:
I’ll apply the difference in Presidential margin to the House result. Thanks @davesredist @mikemathieu @vest_team + @DKElections @PoliticsWolf
Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.

Trump 62.0% - Biden 36.6%
Real delegation: 6R-1D
Gerrymandered: 5R-2D
Δ Share of D seats: 14% => 28%
Easy Democratic pick-up of a safe new African American seat.

New: There are 32 House races the AP hasn't called yet, but they aren't all created equal. My best (reported) guess about which way they're breaking, and whether Dems have any shot at the majority. politico.com/news/2022/11/1…
Breaking it down, 2 of them are in D-vs.-D Calif. races, 2 GOP candidates have conceded, Dems are favored in 2 RCV tabulations. Then there are a dozen-plus other races where there's a clear favorite. politico.com/news/2022/11/1…
GOP House math coming into focus:
206 seats are locked down.
R's lead and *should* win: #AZ06, #CA03, #CA40, #CA45, #IA03, #MI10, #MT01, #NY22.
That's 214. Need 4 of these 15: #AZ01 #CA13 #CA22 #CA27 #CA41 #CA47 #CA49 #CO03 #CO08 #CT05 #NM02 #NV03 #OR05 #OR06 #WA03

This is a spreadsheet of Cook Report races which I made based on currently reported results (9am Wed).
+1= Dem Victory
-1=GOP Victory
+0.5= Dem winning
-0.5 = GOP winning
Based on this, right now, I think the Dems hold onto the US House.

Those absentees and early voting are likely the first results we're seeing.

BTW I will not be live-tweeting results as they come in. If you want to follow along with results statewide, go to nyenr.elections.ny.gov.
You can also get results quicker and often more reliably from individual county Boards of Elections' websites (depending on the county)

*strike that, 47 races. The largest buy goes to the Biden +12% #NJ05, making its debut on the chart as targeted seat #65.
There's the spending boom I was waiting for...the NRCC drops $19.27 million on 31 House races, pulling ahead of its 2020 pace and adding the Biden +20% #PA12 to the board as targeted seat #64, backing Mike Doyle for retiring 14-term Dem Mike Doyle's seat.

The AP has called #FL11 GOP primary for Rep. Dan Webster. The longest-serving state legislator in FL history and its first GOP state House speaker since Reconstruction turns back far-right activist Laura Loomer in shockingly tight contest.
Over in GOP primary for open and dark red #OK02, former state Sen. Josh Brecheen leads state Rep. Avery Frix 54.5-45.5. Group affiliated with Club for Growth spent heavily for Brecheen, a former Club fellow.
AP calls #FL13 GOP primary for Trump's candidate, 2020 nominee Anna Paulina Luna. She'll face former DoD official Eric Lynn in seat GOP gerrymandered into 53-46 Trump.
It’s fascinating to watch @FDConole do in #NY22 what the elite political institutions teach the ruling class: when you have money or are deemed “frontrunner” in a race, ignore public events, forums, and press. Hide behind ads and mailers. Make few unscripted public appearances.
Candidates do this because they’re afraid that, if voters hear how unprepared they are, they’ll vote for someone else. They want to buy elections instead of compete for them on the merits.
It’s also how we get really awful politicians who don’t do anything for us or our issues.

Quick hits on the new NY Congressional map: this will realistically swing between 16D-10R and 20D-6R, with each party having a couple other longer-shot targets. The key changes from Monday are a safer Malliotakis seat and splitting Suffolk by North/South Shore instead of E/W.
After being tantalized with the possibility of a compact South Brooklyn seat, the court's final map is somehow even worse for the Orthodox Jewish community than the first draft. Boro Park is split precisely down the middle, eliminating its influence.
With the huge exception of South Brooklyn, everything else south of I-84 is about as clean and no-nonsense as you could ask for. But the Upstate lines are still a mess, as Cervas's attempt to draw a "competitive" #NY19 creates a seat that runs from Watertown to Niagara.
I am glad the court gave candidates an option to decide where they run, the new #ny22 draft is a good reason why. The district shifted dramatically west adding Oneida & losing Tompkins and Cortland and Cayuga. this will leave alot of questions about who is running where. 1/4
On the Democratic side it seems obvious the @OnondagaCounty residents @FDConole, @SarahKleeHoodNY, @Chol_4Congress , and @samrobertsny will stay in district. However @JoshuaUE99 & @vfajans live in Tompkins and have to make a decision to stay in #ny22 or go to #ny19. 2/4
On the GOP side both declared candidates @Sigler4Congress (Tompkins) and Brandon Williams (Cayuga) are out of district. @claudiatenney lives in district but said she was moving to run in #ny23. 3/4
NEW: Dem leaders in Albany are set to release maps in the next 72 hours, but there's still tension between Marc Elias/Sean Patrick Maloney - who are pushing for a hyper-aggressive 23D-3R gerrymander - and Upstate Dem incumbents who'd like more minor changes to their districts.
