a little megathread for this seems useful. what’s on your ballot folks? are you going out to vote today or have you already voted? if you haven’t or are interested in what significant elections are taking place today, Bolts Magazine has its yearly cheat sheet.
pretty much every good, significant election result nationally happened today. Democrats have a majority in both the VA House and Senate; their gubernatorial candidate won in KY; abortion rights and legal weed passed in Ohio; they expanded their majorities in NJ; and they kept it competitive in MS. the PA state supreme court is now 5-2 Democratic after they won the seat up this year, and it seems that Dems have won many of the downballot races that manage elections.
