BREAKING: Democrat Philip Murphy wins reelection for governor in New Jersey. #APracecall at 6:26 p.m. EDT. #Election2021 #NJelection

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy won reelection in close race against Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli. His victory spares Democrats the loss of a 2nd gubernatorial seat. apne.ws/0wJ58is

Ciattarelli waged a formidable campaign in the deep blue state. His spending nearly equaled Murphy's and outpaced the GOP's performance 4 years ago.
Murphy's advantages, including 1 million more registered Democrats, proved too much to overcome. apne.ws/Ey8h4N0

Where things stand the morning after #ElectionDay:

🗳 Prop 119 (increase pot taxes for private, out-of-school learning opportunities): Appears to fail.

Supporters of 119 on Tuesday night conceded defeat.

🗳 Prop 120 (property tax cut): Appears to fail.

By 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, 120 had the support of only about 43 percent of voters, and backers conceded it looked likely to fail.

That figure has stayed steady through the latest counts early Wednesday morning.

🗳 Amendment 78 (would have given the state legislature direct authority over more aspects of state spending): Appears to fail.

Because 78 would change the state constitution, it needs at least 55% of the vote to pass. 78's organizer conceded that was unlikely to happen.

BREAKING: Republican Glenn Youngkin wins election for governor in Virginia. #APracecall at 12:37 a.m. EDT. #Election2021 #VAelection

Youngkin’s win in Virginia ends the GOP’s 12-year losing streak in statewide races in Virginia. apne.ws/1St2WT2

It is certain to add to Democratic anxiety as President Biden's legislative agenda is stalled, his approval ratings are slipping and the party's narrow majority in Congress is on the line in next year’s midterm elections. apne.ws/aPK9S2T

#BREAKING Absolute stunner of a race developing in South Jersey, where Senate President Steve Sweeney - the longest-serving legislative leader in state history - is now trailing his Republican challenger, a virtually unknown, by close to 3 points. #Election2021

Update: With 94% of the vote counted, Republican Senate candidate Edward Durr now leads New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney by roughly 2,000 votes; 32,134 to 30,125.

Good morning. It's Election Day in Colorado!

A quick 🧵 about today #Election2021:

First: It's an off-year election. That means no marquee races and only a limited number of statewide ballot measures (in this case, three).

But locally (certainly in Denver), there's plenty of issues for you to weigh in on.

Next: It's way too late to mail back your ballot.

Find a ballot drop box, or polling place near you: sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections…

If you're in line by 7pm, you'll be able to vote.

If you haven't registered to vote yet, you can register AND vote today.

"100 years ago, Virginia Republicans purged Black voters from their ranks"

"In 1921, Virginia Republicans purged Black voters from their ranks. Virginia Republicans weren’t alone. Republicans across the South were doing the same thing, in a failed bid to make themselves more acceptable to white voters."

This year marks the 100th anniversary of one of the most shameful political events in #Virginia history, one that has repercussions to this day."

@tales_tomorrow

During this election, I’ve seen a ton of hypocrisy and dishonesty in #ConservativeParty attacks, and compiled some of this
#cpc claim: the cons never wanted this “vanity election.”
Picture: #otoole was demanding it for months #elxn44vote

#cpc claim: Trudeau bought the media and it was all biased for him.
Picture: most media in Canada is heavily biased in favour of the conservatives, and has been for years.

#cpc claim: they are against negative adds and condemned #trudeau for supposedly using some.
Picture: a still from the first Con party add of the election, which featured Trudeau’s face photoshopped on a little girl from Willy Wonka, but got pulled for copyright infringement

You can tell these apart from the old ones, which I recommend you update to, because the font is different. They also say, *NEW* 2021 ELECTION (easy right?).

Orange = #NDP motion, Dark Blue #CPC, Light Blue = BQ, Red = #LPC. (2/3)

To look these up yourself, enter the numbers *without the parenthesis*, after the slash (/) at this address:
