@Meagan_Flynn the language originated in the Gaming Act of 1710, a totally different law (wow is it sad that I can do better research than the @washingtonpost!) https://t.co/CXn4fsU1wJ

Ellie passed away unexpectedly this morning.

I am inconsolable. You were the sweetest dog. Everyone you met adored you. I love you, and I know you had a better life than you ever could have imagined.

Thank you for the best nine years of my life. I will always miss you.

an embarrassment for the @NWSL #nwsl this evening.

occasionally I question why I devote so much energy to a league that doesn’t care about fairly officiating its games.

i'm hearing reports that the nyt needle is now pointing to bedtime

I agree with this

Dems will hold VA-7

Keeps Dem path to majority in House alive

Vindman will get similar margin to Spanberger in 2022

VA-2 probably can’t be called until later

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

10:36 PM PROJECTION: EUGENE VINDMAN (D) WINS THE OPEN 7TH DISTICT RACE IN A MAJOR HOLD FOR DEMOCRATS.

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

I'm not calling VA07 yet but with Stafford mail ballots outstanding and Vindman up by about 9,000 I like his chances to hang on, even while the rest of the outstanding vote looks like it will lean R- especially Stafford early in person vote.

Fulton County (Atlanta) has counted more than half of its votes. Harris is on track to match Biden's performance there

[Sam Shirazi @samshirazim]

2 notes of Loudoun

It has a decent Muslim population and Stein is getting 2% here

There are also additional mail ballots and same-day registrations that won’t be counted tonight

There might be a swing, but don’t know final number and wouldn’t read too much into other states

[Ben Tribbett @notlarrysabato]

8:00 PM PROJECTION- Suhas Subramanyam (D) has won the open 10th Congressional District race keeping this swing seat blue that had been held by the GOP for decades before 2018.

Harris campaign is saying they are feeling very good about the turnout numbers, in particular:

-High Puerto Rican turnout in Philly
-High enthusiasm among college students including in WI, in PA at Lehigh, Lafayette, & Temple, in NC at Appalachian State, & in NV at UNR and UNLV

[Ethan C7 @ECaliberSeven]

We don't have much of the vote in for Ohio, but currently, Sherrod Brown is outrunning Harris by ~6%-7% atm.

Trump won Ohio by 8% in 2020. So at the current rate, Brown will need Harris to improve on Biden to prevail (some polls suggested she could).
