Seems like the DCCC's "help" was pretty unnecessary. If your opponent gets 70% of the vote, you've lost all on your own.

Same story for the Staceys. Abrams won with >75% of the vote.

That Abrams margin is really something.

I heard Cuomo beat Nixon with 95% of the vote. I'm on the road so I can't look into it too much but holy shit.

I don't think a vote has happened yet?

Cuomo leads by double digits in recent polls, though.

I'm guessing when the vote actually happens she's gonna lose by like 20 points.

I was surprised I didn't hear about a NY vote leading up to tuesday but it makes more sense I misheard vote for just a poll. Still, that's a fucking crazy margin.

There is no chance there's a Dem primary poll with Cuomo getting 95% of the vote.

95% of the vote to get put on the primary ballot. Nixon needs to get signatures, Cuomo does not.

This is hardly unexpected. As is Hillary, Perez, and Biden endorsing Cuomo.

I love how Centrists love working with republicans over people in their own party.

What we really don't need is a fucking actress as mayor.

[Talint]

Even if Nixon didn't have a great platform, between an actress that runs on local issues versus the political elite dynasty I know who would get my vote.

Too bad I don't live in NY anymore tho.

The political elite dynasty duhhhhh

Cuomo’s So-Called ‘Women’s’ Party

“Yes, Cynthia is woman, and yes she represents a lot of our values, but we have a governor who literally created the party,” Susan Zimet, the chairwoman of the W.E.P. told me.

The democrats are such trash lol.

During the 2014 election, Mr. Cuomo drove around the state in a bus called the Women’s Equality Express, which had a pink stripe adorning its side. Some found the entire enterprise craven and patronizing — and an obvious effort to peel off votes from the W.F.P., which had been fighting for paid sick leave and other causes vital to women’s lives for many years. Others found it duplicitous, given the rampant culture of sexual harassment that had been permitted to fester for so long in the state capital.

Ohio can't vote on laws because their house speaker resigned amid a FBI investigation/scandal and the Rs don't have enough votes to get a nominee to the floor.
