This really is egregious. Dropping a day of early voting before the Georgia runoff because of a holiday originally meant to honor Robert E. Lee! https://t.co/6IP0T2VSuU — PolitiTweet.org

Apparently so. — PolitiTweet.org

With their votes, Americans have rendered an emphatic verdict on election denialism and conspiracy theories. Last week, Trump wannabe @KariLake was presumed the next AZ governor and future national candidate. Tonight, like her role model, she's a loser. — PolitiTweet.org

On the eve of yet another Trump candidacy announcement, I am reminded of this old, classic song: https://t.co/YRrcZDjrmn — PolitiTweet.org

"Watching thee quick post-primary exodus of Rs from Trump's camp, led by Murdoch & his media empire, has been something to behold. For them, trespasses against democracy & decency may be tolerated, but losing cannot" My thoughts on https://t.co/e7h9bGgRtg: https://t.co/udKk8qht3N — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, AZ House Speaker Rusty Bowers-an R who refused to submit to Trump's pressure, post-election, and paid a political price, talked about why Trump lost AZ in '20--a warning to the @GOP as he prepares to saddle up for another run.

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Eager to see today's returns from AZ, where the Warrior Queen of Election Denial, @KariLake, is trailing and running out of opportunities to make up the gap with @katiehobbs . Could be a decisive night! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

One major consequence of continued Dem control of the senate: @POTUS, who already has seen 84 of his judicial appointments confirmed with 18 more on the calendar before the end of the year. Two more years will give him the opportunity to expand his imprint on the judiciary. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Laxalt was a loser tonight but, perhaps, Herschel Walker, too. Without the prize of senate control at stake, will Rs who voted for Kemp but left the senate race blank or voted for the libertarian or Warnock come out for Walker? We'll see. — PolitiTweet.org

This latest dump of ballots from Maricopa strongly suggest @KariLake is going down, which would be a a stunning repudiation of election denialism and Trump. She needs bigger numbers to catch up w/@KatieHobbs. AZ is coming up big for sanity! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This would be another rejection of crazy denialism. — PolitiTweet.org

AZ Speaker Bowers stood up to Trump & deniers & lost as a result. Yet on #AxeFiles, taped before Tuesday, he was prescient: "I'm optimistic that enough people will hold the line & demand that the republic be maintained...that we can & will survive."

Four things that helped Ds close strong: -@BarackObama's campaign swing. -The attack on Paul Pelosi and the tone deaf & offensive response by the Trumps, other Rs & right-wing media. -Trump's late campaign swing. -@POTUS's democracy speech (the wisdom of which I had questioned.) — PolitiTweet.org

.@TimRyan also forced the national Republicans to spend tens of millions of dollars in OH to save Vance they could have spent in close races elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that the election defied the norms and expectations of many-including me-speaks to the glorious majesty of democracy, where after all the spinning and frenzy, the people have the final say. God Bless America! — PolitiTweet.org

.@GOPLeader McCarthy is locked in a Faustian bargain. He sold his soul to become Speaker and now, if he makes it at all, it promises to be a living hell. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Wherever the election results go from here, it was historic. In abnormal times, the normal political indicators were overridden in many places by larger concerns. Instead of tapping the brake on the incumbent party, as is the norm, many voters tapped the break on crazy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Turns out the biggest players in '22 were Alito and Trump. Post Dobbs, abortion rights played a huge role in many races across the country. Election denial, the insurrection & Trump's incendiary politics tainted Rs he embraced/sponsored & caused voters to wave off the wave. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is not the count anyone expected at 11 p.m. on the Friday after the election. Least of all, @GOPLeader McCarthy (who may not be GOP leader much longer!) https://t.co/o7gwZUuuzZ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This may be the most important race not on your radar screen. The R candidate for Sec State in AZ led the battle to overturn the state's election results in '20. He attended the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. And tonight, he is defeated. https://t.co/94TaN4AOrF — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@SenMarkKelly, elected in 2020 to succeed the late John McCain, very much reflects that tradition. A career military man and astronaut, he stressed country and pragmatic problem-solving over party. He beat Trump's man, Blake Masters, among independent voters by 16 percent. — PolitiTweet.org
