Here’s something funny I just realized: Matt Huffman, then-Senate President, screwed my old friend Niraj Antani out of his senate seat, drawing him out by a block.
To do so, he had to redraw Andrea White and Tom Young’s House Districts… and both of them ate shit last night.
Last night saw some of the greatest progressive victories in modern American history. All across the country, in rural and urban areas, Americans said NO to oligarchy, and YES to an agenda that fights for the working class.

Ohio has its first Democrat-led Congressional delegation since 2011, with 8Ds and 7Rs.
This map was unanimously approved by the Ohio Redistricting Commission last year, drawn by Republicans to tip toward a 12R-3D delegation.
State Senator Young Mussolini... will you be Governor Notorious Comnan's "Chancellor of Higher Education," as you've been telling Capitol Square for the last several weeks!?
Good morning! I have spoken this morning with Auditor Faber, and he offered his concession. While there are still additional ballots outstanding, we firmly believe that in 70 days, I will begin serving as the next Attorney General of Ohio. I could not be more honored and excited.
Brian Poindexter has won Ohio's 7th Congressional District election, flipping the seat from Republican to Democratic. (via NBC)
He becomes the first Democrat to win this seat since 1936.
