For those living on the west coast when do results start showing?
They should bill the election costs to George Santos
“No matter the outcome, it will be bad news for Biden and the Democrats”
-Mainstream media
George Santos will probably be next to Hoffa under the stadium after this, I assume? I wonder how often he shits himself thinking about it.
[Re elect, Tom!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Suozzi) Dudes already done the job, and he knows how to do it.
For those able to, get out and vote and encourage everyone you know to do so! We need Suozzi to win that seat!
I still don’t know how Mazi will get Salt removed considering it was her Papa Trumps baby. When pressed she just said trust me, like a used car salesman
Heard a short piece on this election on NPR at lunch – Pilip sounds like she’s a couple eggs short of a dozen. Hope Suozzi can pull it out.
Edit: Found the piece – https://www.npr.org/2024/02/13/1230955410/border-security-dominates-in-new-york-special-election-to-replace-rep-santos
Interesting to see how the snowstorm affect turnout.
Any turnout estimates yet.
My Conspiracy theory is that Republicans scheduled their impeachment vote just so they could drown out losing bigly in the NY-03
I can’t wait for this to be over with. If I see one more ad in which they are both pretty much kissing ICE’s ass, I will scream.
Dunno what we’re gonna do now that we can’t bet on which of their ads come on first when we turn on Jeopardy.
Souzzi has been campaigning hard today to get his people out to vote and it seems that has worked. IMO he wins, the only question is by how much
I just hope both teams have fun
