US Midterm Election Day: Voting Irregularities & Political Maneuvering
Election Day reports of voting machine irregularities in multiple states, a Jacksonville elections website outage, and Maricopa County lockdown dominated CT. Politically, NC's NRCC chair seat is a toss-up, Republicans hold a large spending advantage, and Trump's Camp Lejeune threat drew widespread attention.
What we know
Adam Cochran was on high alert throughout the hour, RTing claims of voting machines in TX, FL, TN, and OH switching Democratic votes to Republican unless voters persisted. The Duval County elections website went down for unknown reasons, and Maricopa County's tabulation center was briefly locked down after suspicious activity nearby. Cochran urged paper ballots and double-checking screens. On the political landscape, generic Congressional polls show Democrats +8 per RT, while @FT noted Republicans hold a massive spending advantage. An account on X highlighted NC-09 as a genuine toss-up, with NRCC Chairman Hudson only at 46% vs. Ojeda at 42%. Bloomberg's $80M Democratic midterm spending was also noted. Trump's threat to block Camp Lejeune veteran cancer claims if NC Republicans lose went massively viral (3.1K RTs).
