    Yet another race we were told was neck-in-neck and the Democrat came out +5. Anyone else notice that?

      Only coming up +5 during this election does mean it was that close. This was a historic election for shifting towards Democrats. +5 this election basically means it would have been very close, or she would have lost, during any other election.

        That’s what I meant! It was not close. Even at +1, that would have represented massive gains over previous elections.

        My habit of typing as I speak IRL has burned me yet again. 🙄

        “neck-n-neck”

        Pretty sure I’ve made that same boner many times lately.
