Date: April 24th, 2018 11:30 PM Author: charcoal factory reset button whorehouse Republican Debbie Lesko won the House special election in Arizona Tuesday night, holding off a closer-than-expected Democratic challenge in a district that President Donald Trump won by 21 points in 2016.
Lesko had 53 percent of the vote when The Associated Press called the race an hour after the polls closed, with over 155,000 early votes tallied. Democrat Hiral Tipirneni had 47 percent of the vote.
But Lesko’s single-digit margin is the latest evidence that Republicans face a punishing midterm environment, even in Trump-friendly territory. Lesko’s victory comes on the heels of losses for Republicans in southwestern Pennsylvania, where Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb beat Republican Rick Saccone in a district that backed Trump by nearly 20 points in 2016, and in Alabama, where Democrat Doug Jones defeated Republican Roy Moore last year.
“Republicans shouldn't be hitting the alarm, they should be slamming it," said Mike Noble, a GOP pollster based in Arizona. He added: "This district isn't supposed to be competitive, and so to see this margin, especially with the Republicans pouring in resources here -- again, it's a tough year." |

Date: April 25th, 2018 1:12 AM Author: swashbuckling bawdyhouse lettuce I believe they have a redistricting commission in AZ. the district isn't supposed to be competitive because it's basically an old retirement community. the average age of voters in this election was around 64.

|
Date: April 25th, 2018 1:28 AM Author: swashbuckling bawdyhouse lettuce it does make me wonder why they switched to the democrat in such huge numbers. this one wasn't about low turnout among republicans. there was pretty high turnout overall and twice as many republicans as democrats voted. so basically a huge chunk of republicans switched and the democrat won almost all the independents. but why? I'd have to assume the tax cut/obamacare stuff. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3959080&forum_id=2#35914218) |

the republican was kind of a run of the mill state politician, not a superstar but not scandal plagued like Roy Moore.
this is about the 80th most republican congressional district in the country, so about 2/3s of Republican Congressmen are in less Republican districts. |

Date: April 25th, 2018 1:11 AM Author: swashbuckling bawdyhouse lettuce she was probably a little too progressive for that district. that district is basically all really old people and Republicans have a 2-1 registration advantage. the most troubling part for republicans was that they pumped a ton of money into the race and still underperformed badly. so it's showing that big money won't save them in the fall, and they won't be able to replicate funding like this on a national level.

What you also need to recognize is that your party will lose a lot of state seats and governorships. Which means you won't be in a good redistricting position for 2020. Additionally, democratic areas around big cities have grown substantially in population while republican areas have shrunk. This means you guys likely won't control the house for decades barring some massive realignment.
