Passionate about government, elections, policy, and mapping. Focused on Midwestern politics.
The Republicans who previous supported lawsuits and objections, but voted no tonight, that stand out to me include Greg Pence (IN-06), Elise Stefanik (NY-21), Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05), and most Pennsylvania Republicans, among many others.
In the 1968 election, Richard Nixon won 301 electoral votes (56%), but only won 43.4% of the popular vote, beating Hubert Humphrey by 0.7%. After the similarly close 1960 election, this created concern about the Electoral College and spurred reform. (2/7)
Dem mayoral flips include the Obama 2008 cities of Elkhart, Portage, Decatur, Tell City, and Dunkirk; and the McCain 2008 cities of Zionsville, Washington, Charlestown, Scottsburg, and Tipton. Big gains in Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, and Columbus city councils as well. (2/7)
(2/7) #MO01 has distinct racial divides due to the legacy of redlining and white flight. The famed Delmar Divide splits the district into distinct northern and southern halves. Note that Cori Bush has done better in the south, while Lacy Clay has done better in the north. 
The law was passed in response to the 1998 hate crime murders of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay man murdered in Laramie, Wyoming, and James Byrd Jr., a 49-year-old black man lynched-by-dragging by three white supremacists in Jasper, Texas. All murderers were convicted. (2/3)
Abbie Smith served six years as the president of United Way of Howard County and ran as a progressive outsider. She defeated GOP-turned-Democrat, ex-city councilman, and ex-Police Captain Kevin Summers in the Dem primary 58-42. She was a rock star nominee in the wrong year. (2/5) 
MO-01's racial makeup is plurality black among all residents, and the Dem primary electorate is majority black. Compared to the 2018 election results, you may note that Cori Bush excelled with white voters in southern #MO01, but there's more to the story. (2/4) #ElectionTwitter 
Bennett had a reputation of being an ardent opponent of public education, and public educators in particular. Outrage from teachers throughout Indiana toward his administration fueled the grassroots campaign that lifted Ritz, a previously unknown candidate, to victory. (2/7)
Hogsett likely played a very large role in Dems' record-setting six City-County Council pickups (which I shaded in the district column on the left). In all six Dem pickups, Hogsett won their districts with at least 62.8%, too big a margin for Republicans to overcome downballot. 
The township map tells a similar story. Spartz won every township except Cicero Township, which Beckwith won 28.4%-28.1% thanks to his strength in Tipton. I'm not certain why Beckwith did relatively well in Tipton, but it stands out. 
Here is my township map of the results. Hale won all but the following (Hale-Thornton-Christie-Jacobs in order):
Here is where each incumbent lives:
