The Republican mayor of Roswell, a Georgia city of 90K, finished just one percentage point ahead of his Dem challenger on November 4. The runoff is in a few days.

Democrats’ wins in Virginia this month means they’ll be able to keep advancing a measure to end the state’s unusually harsh system of lifetime felony disenfranchisement.
Five Ways Tuesday’s Results Will Affect Voting Rules and Democracy
From felony disenfranchisement and mail voting to mid-decade gerrymanders, Tuesday delivered verdicts on election law across these five states.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.
Democrats swept all 13.
That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).
They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

Assuming that all current leads hold, the LEGISLATIVE flips yesterday would end up at:
—Virginia: Democrats gained 13 seats
—New Jersey: Democrats gained 5 seats
—Mississippi: Democrats gained 3 seats
(The GOP came a handful of votes from also losing a seat in NH, but pulled that out.)

A big result: Maine voters have rejected the conservative ballot measure that'd have restricted ballot access.
The measure was going to impose voter ID, and restrict mail voting significantly.
It lost easily, a year before the crucial midterms there.
