Markey takes Ipswich on the North Shore w/ 68%. These are the kinds of places we'd expect Markey to run up the score, while Kennedy will be relying on his congressional district, #MA04, and heavily Catholic working-class cities. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Kennedy takes 52% w/ 13k votes counted in Worchester.* That might not be good enough there. We'll see. #MASEN *just kidding — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Polls closed in MA! First results from Ashburnham (52% Markey) and Norton (56% Kennedy) per @DecisionDeskHQ. 349/351 towns to go, but these are decent first results for Markey... #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

@mayatcontreras 1. That's why my last @NBCNews article was about non-white turnout, which I guess you didn't read. 2. Polls show Trump performing marginally better w/ non-whites than he did in '16. But to win, he needs to get back to his numbers w/ working-class whites. https://t.co/9QYyQLEVmk — PolitiTweet.org

New story for @NBCNews: for Biden to prevail, he'll need to withstand a Trump onslaught targeted to working-class whites https://t.co/qZEp4yWAxD — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Pretty easy explanation: these Dems won plenty of '16 Trump voters in '18. So as tepid as Trump's support is, attacking him would risk alienating some of their own supporters. — PolitiTweet.org

@joey_blau @TwoSetViolin love those guys — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks! Hey @ratemyskyperoom, need an audio rater? 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

I literally took a music break. Because there's not much to see during Election Day, tbh. #mapoli — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Didn't say it was breaking "news"...apparently some ppl just didn't get the "stay tuned" hint. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Only if it's broadcast live on @MSNBC. Proposed rules: if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold. If you lose, @SteveKornacki gets your soul. Hey hosts, any takers? — PolitiTweet.org

p.s. the flowers are a nod to one of my all-time favorite bridges (in Shelburne, MA) and the shirt is from UVA men's basketball's epic 2019 title run. cc: @davidgura — PolitiTweet.org

Breaking: in honor of today's Massachusetts primary, tried out the "Shelburne Reel" (w/ an assist from my friend @troymacg from Nova Scotia). #MA01 #mapoli https://t.co/3GvswM1jEv — PolitiTweet.org

I've got a big breaking item on the MA primary shortly. Stay tuned... — PolitiTweet.org

To me, the test wasn't Biden condemning riots/looting/Trump in a Pittsburgh speech. It's whether he runs ads in swing states that go defense-to-attack on the issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Talk to most folks in small-town Pennsylvania and they know at least one - and possibly several - Mike Mazza, Jr.'s. https://t.co/tuljiOyaRa — PolitiTweet.org

@Nate_Cohn Narrow down to just CNN/MSNBC and it goes up to 5,000 points. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

And if cable commentary actually reflected the electorate, we might also occasionally watch a panel w/ a registered Dem/ex-Dem working class voter who didn't vote for Trump in '16 but is Trump-curious this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

If anti-Trump GOP/ex-GOP cable commentators actually reflected the electorate, Biden would be up approximately 50 points. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

One byproduct of the current trend in TX - Biden/Dems rocketing upwards in big, diverse metro suburbs but not much in rural & heavily Hispanic areas - is that most of Dems' vote growth is taking place in competitive districts, upping their chances of taking back the state house. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Will be interesting to see how effective a phone/web voter registration drive is vs. door-to-door. I'm skeptical - particularly in low-income/transient areas - but suppose we'll find out after the 10/6 deadline. — PolitiTweet.org

If Biden is really up 14% in #FL13 (which comprises a majority of Pinellas Co.), he might be up ~10% in Pinellas as a whole, which is one of the oldest large counties in the country. That would be a very good result for him. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Pinellas Co., FL - one of the biggest bellwether counties in 2020, in my book. Clinton carried #FL13 by 3% in '16, Biden up 14% in this poll. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

A factor I think election models based on historical data have a hard time quantifying: Trump & allies are willing to employ viral social disinformation tactics to a degree Biden & Democrats aren’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

It’s pretty easy to share viral video to convince voters that all of America’s cities are going up in flames. It’s not as easy to share viral video of the reality, which is that like 99.9% of people aren’t seeking out confrontation and are going about their boring lives. — PolitiTweet.org

We could really use a new national @QuinnipiacPoll in the next few days. — PolitiTweet.org
