Kansas 4th CD Run-off election (6/20)

[FaTaL]

 

[Scoop]

So he is currently winning Sedgwick County which went Trump by 18%

http://www.sedgwickcounty.org/elections/election_results/Gen16/index.html

they also elected Mike Pompeo by 24%

Still too early to tell I guess but thats a good sign so far.

With only 1 precinct in that's probably early voters.

 

[Scoop]

This is what it needs to look like for the D to win:

Red: Estes 15%+

Light Red: Estes 0.1%-14%

Light Blue: Thompson 0.1%-14%

Blank: outside of the 4th Congressional District.

From Dailykos

While an anti Trump message may help in Sedgwick County, what Thompson has done in the campaign is mention Trump as infrequently as possible, instead tying Estes to Brownback and focusing on rural economic populism. In order for Thompson to hit 51% in the 4th district, he must win Sedgwick County by eight point

Smart. I don't think we've reached the point where Trump is unpopular with Republican voters yet. Brownback sure as hell is though.

repugs win this easily...

Not holding my breath in Kansas. They voted that wretched governor back in power.

 

[Scoop]

About 14% of the vote in:

D - 54%
R - 45%

Estes is really running up the score in some of these rural districts. If Thompson wants to win, needs a lot from Sedgwick

Rural cacs voting against their best interests again

 

[Scoop]

Rural cacs voting against their best interests again

This is super lame logic.

If you think about it this way anyone voting Dem making more than like $45k is "voting against their interests."

But are the platforms very similar?

sure, if you take them at face value without considering the source

 

[hashmander]

rural people's interest are usually about social conservatism.

Edit: NM

 

[Dat Migo]

Estes now ahead. It was a good run.

 

[Dr. Acula]

but this is looking like a close race. Much closer than normal.

What is that GA 06 looks like.
