I had a choice here in Ma for Governor. A raging democrat, a raging Rino which I detest more than anything or blank. I voted blank for Governor. Charlie Baker is not getting over the finish line with my help. My hands are clean. Screw you Charlie Faker, you are no republican you are are moderate democrat, you are not even democrat lite.
 
Gillum up slightly in FL with 33% in. Never thought I'd see the day FL would have a competitive AA governor candidate, but here we are.
 
Trump needed PA, WI and MI to win in 2016. In 2018, he’s been a drag on candidates in all three, mostly stayed away down the stretch to the finish line.

"CNN calls the Pennsylvania governor race for Democratic incumbent Tom Wolf, another easy Democratic win in a Rust Belt state that went for Trump."
 
DeSantis is ahead for FL. gov. at this particular moment in time.
 
Governor Rauner loses in Illinois. Flips Dem.

Just called for him by CNN. Somehow this guy manages to survive, everytime. No idea how, but he's doing something right.
 
Looks like Polis will win Colorado governor. First ever openly gay governor in the country.
 
I am surprised Mike DeWhine is winning in Ohio. Other than Senator Brown (who ran against a really tainted GOP guy-[lots of us were surprised Kasich didn't run for the senate]) the GOP is leading all the state wide elections.
 
Kansas governor seat... Kris Kobach loses. Flips dem to Dem Laura Kelly.

Glad about this one for sure. One of two Repubs who was running their own election from the secretary of state position and wouldn't reliquish the reigns.

So happy. Even happier that he left Arizona, we have enough problems...

He is now losing by 1.1% of the vote with 98% reporting in Desantis is up 93k votes.
 
Scott Walker is in hot water right now. Losing by around 4% with almost half the votes in.
 
Looks like DeSantis is in, as well as Scott. Yet again, the Democrat base falls to show up in the numbers they should. As someone who lives in an area that's heavily Republican, I guarantee the GOP base did as their political masters told them and went out and voted. The Dems never seem to learn their lesson.

*sigh more* nonsense rhetoric.
People go vote and people go vote for who they want.

There are a lot of people that don't vote for whatever reason.
and technically they are voting by not voting.

in a way 100% of the country votes every year.

lol, i know some people who loathe Trump who didn't vote due to laziness. I know what I'm talking about.

Desantis is a flawed candidate, but Gillum was even worse. Scott was a horrible candidate as well. Living in SW FL as I do, the red tide and the bacteria flow from the lake had better be one of Desantis' top priorities or he'll be out next election.
