A Democrat held the Democrat seat & a Republican held the Republican seat. Where was the shift? #CTPolitics
While Trump is speaking, results from three CT special elections come in:Dems won 2 seats bigly & nearly took the most GOP seat in the state

Republicans won by 16k last time, 2k this time, and Dems expanded on their blowout margins
-
@crlynmarie387 no shift yet. Margins are up
but that doesn't shift the control yet -
the shift is that it's hard to get good democrat turnout in special elections and off years.

The lazy nonvoting left screwed America starting in 2010, then 2014, 2016. Then piss and moan about the outcome. Left created trump.
-
didnt Trump lose by 3 million votes? Dont think we can blame the left for what the electoral college did
-
you can't expect to change and win US politics without first winning by the political rules

we're the 2 dem seats competitive? Last time they went GOP?
-
gotcha - I mean a win is a win but not exactly big news here
-
The big news is how great the turnout was. Especially in the district that was lost. The D candidate won several towns.
-
the loss was historically small and the turnout was historically high. Progress!
-
for the close race lost, district 32, I would love to see the numbers, ideally by precinct?
-
have not seen that uet, but it was 45% Cava (D) 55% Berthal (R)
-
hmmm that's a significant spread. If you get more info please pass it along. Thanks!
