US November 2011 Election Night Thread

[Schneibster]

Reuters has a good roundup.

Ohio anti-union SB5: no, 63-47 as of 11PM
Mississippi "personhood": no, 58-42 at 80% as of 11PM

Governors: Unchanged, both incumbent parties won (one was a governor retiring).

While this is a Democratic victory, particularly the failure of the anti-union statute in Ohio, at this point it is not a repudiation of the Republicans but a warning shot, IMO. The Democratic Party still has a lot of work to do to win the Presidency in 2012 and enough in Congress to enable some important legislation to be passed. A great deal depends upon whether people can be convinced to examine their sources of data critically in enough cases to beat the propaganda-controlled stupids.
