Democrats went 2-for-2 in Tuesday special elections, as Democrat Jennifer McClellan easily beat her GOP opponent in the race to succeed the late Congressman Don McEachin in Virginia’s 4th District. McClellan becomes the first Black woman to represent the state in Congress.
In New Hampshire, the state House’s GOP is now on a 201 to 199 knife’s edge because the state has that many fucking seats in its legislature for some reason – seriously five times as many members as California’s state Assembly – after a special rematch to settle the 970-970 November tie between incumbent Dem Chuck Grassie and Republican challenger Dave Walker. Grassie won Tuesday 56 to 44 and it is safe to say more people will read this article than will have voted in that election.
