Early/Absentee vote just dropped in the New Orleans Mayoral Race:

Helena Moreno (D)- 55.4%
Royce Duplessis (D)- 23.9%
Oliver Thomas (D)- 17.8%

Only hope for Duplessis/Thomas is that the e-day vote is less Moreno-friendly, because she wins outright if she stays above 50%.

A reminder that Russell Vought previously said he wanted Gov workers “to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains…We want to put them in trauma.”

The 1980 Bergen County Blue Law Referendum, a referendum as to whether or not the controvercial Bergen County Blue las — a Colonial era Law which states that certain stores can’t be open on Sunday — should continue to apply in the county, resulted in the maintaining of the controvercial law.

Biggest thing about this add is that it attacks Sherrill’s vote on the OBBB without directly saying she voted against the OBBB — also her not committing to not raising the sales tax in debate 1

Important to note: the person who conducted the poll said subsamples of his 300 person poll are representative & anyone saying it isn’t is scamming.

Decently sure he’s just not a good statistician or pollster

Another super cool tool to track Virginia early vote

Still too early to draw big conclusions

But good to poke around and look at votes

Right now is a bit of lull in middle of early voting

Will really start to pick up in about 10 days as more satellite locations open

Overall, however, the campaign was uneventful. Compared to the concurrent Senate Race, Pascrell did better than Freshman Senator Cory Booker in most of the seat, posting his best performances compared to the senator in Clifton, Haledon and Hawthorn

I think maybe Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli is a little too thin-skinned to keep calling himself a "Jersey Guy"

Ciattarelli said he will sue Sherrill after being accused of opioid deaths

The Democratic candidate for governor accused her Republican challenger of making “millions by working with some of the worst offenders and saying that opioids were safe.”
