What even is Election Twitter?

The Republican nominee in #NV03 is the guy who composed the score to the Halo games btw

As a native Washingtonian I cannot stress the following point enough, especially to my California friends.

When it comes to elections, never ever ever put Dean Logan in charge of anything.

And if heaven forbid he is in charge, never underestimate him to %#@! everything up.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

This is real and made me laugh lol.

I can’t believe Steve Cohen carpetbagged to California and switched to being a Republican

The city of Pocatello, Idaho adopts a flag for the first time.

The North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) lodges a formal protest against the atrocity.

It’s settled. Texans should vote for @jamestalarico to be their Senator in November.

If I were Christine Drazan, I would call for gas tax holiday and stay on that. She needs a way to keep the gas tax at the center of the conversation.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

Haha it was almost exactly the same.

How will Measure 120 compare to Measure 82?

[John Horvick @horvick]

Today the Census released estimates of the percentage of households with any kind of air conditioning.

82% of Oregon households have air conditioning. Not surprisingly, fewer households on the coast have air conditioning.

It's 93% for the United States.

Here is the age profile of Oregon primary voters on the day before the election.

[John Horvick @horvick]

The three distinct age profiles of Oregon voters: Democrats, Republicans & non-affiliated.

Light colors are all registered voters. Darker colors are those who have voted in 2 or more of the last 4 general and primary elections.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

Thank goodness. But it shouldn’t have even been close.

Ken Paxton, for the good of Texas, the GOP, the Senate, and the United States of America, must be stopped.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

And here we have, beautifully, tragically, ironically, @LarrySabato openly demonstrating why and how he is part of the problem with media and politics today.

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

Absolutely! You wouldn't want "academics and elites" who have actually studied a subject to outweigh the off-the-cuff opinions of village idiots. This is how we're seeing the resurgence of measles, and the widespread belief in almost non-existent vote fraud, among many other great leaps backward in the Trump era. Cronkite would be so very proud of you. @CBSNews

[Paul Kane @pkcapitol]

This leaves @RepDavidValadao as the last of 10 yes impeachment votes among House Rs trying to win election.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

Newhouse out. Much credit is due for a political career based on serving Central and Eastern Washington with class and dignity, and for his political courage standing firm in his values. Thank you @RepNewhouse.

[Rep. Dan Newhouse @RepNewhouse]

Today I am announcing I will not seek reelection in 2026. See my statement below:

I'm grateful to the linemen and PUD workers who are putting in long hours to turn the lights back on for the thousands of Southwest Washington households who have had their power knocked out.

Remember to check on your neighbors and stay away from any downed power lines.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

I have no defense for the Trump statement on Rob Reiner’s death, and you shouldn’t either. It’s just an awful thing to say. Unfortunate, unbecoming, and unacceptable for a leader to say such things.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

Put simply, the greatest threat to conservatism comes from within itself: the “conservative” community. It’s time for a return, a restoration. A reminding of the defining of what makes belief and application of conservative policies and principles good and helpful for all.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

Going to stray into controversial currents here.

As one who has grown up and remains conservative, can’t believe I am saying this, but @Heritage and @Heritage_Action have become one of the greatest dangers to American people and culture.

A caustic curse on the American Right.

[Northwest Politico @pnwpolitics]

Is there a way out? Of course. The hope and beauty of a brighter lighter day endures. But to see that light, we must fight the devils of dishonesty and deceit that are destroying current conservatism. The figures (like those after-mentioned) must be combatted and corrected.
