Republicans beware.

[BigmanPigman]

46. I just saw that on Rachel

[C_U_L8R]

[Wounded Bear]

9. My fellow Washingtonians come through...

[suffragette]

44. Yay! So happy we finally overturned the damn coup and have gone back to blue!

[Thekaspervote]

12. Thank you to all the dems that kicked butt tonight

Let this be our model for the coming months . Dems!!! Get out and vote!!

[cilla4progress]

13. I get to go to our local annual Dem

Dinner here with our great Washington state AG Bob Ferguson tomorrow! Will be quite the party!

[Aristus]

14. Love my blue, blue Evergreen State!

Some coffee for my fellow Washingtonians:

[pnwmom]

16. I'm so glad I won't have to see any more of those horrible anti-Seattle commercials.

What a stupid idea they were!

[AlphaCharley]

17. and let me guess. they still want seattle's jobs and taxes right?

[pnwmom]

19. I heard that the ads were copied from something used on the east coast somewhere.

Well, they didn't work here. Most people in the suburbs either were born in Seattle or they work there or their adult kids live there. Trying to make Eastsiders think all Seattle-ites are loopy hippies was a dumb strategy.

[Aristus]

18. Just a bunch of haters out in Spokanistan.

To Hell with them...

[KT2000]

27. Spokanistan!!

That says it all! Love it.

[cilla4progress]

52. Hey now...

I resemble that remark. Do they really call us that over there?

[Aristus]

53. Not everyone.

Fact is, I like Spokane very much. It's just the drive into town from the sticks that sucks. TRUMP signs everywhere...

[cilla4progress]

54. I know.

I’m actually near Wenatchee/ Chelan. Great turnout at our annual Democratic dinner here last night where AG Ferguson spoke.

Have you seen the many tRump signs around Cle Elum/ E’burg? Oy!

[MFM008]

42. Another donut?

Diet another day....

[Aristus]

45. Yes! Celebrate today!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Looks like the bots didn't work

[AlphaCharley]

25. speaking of which, isn't Orange Idi Amin checking in with Uncle Vlad for his performance report soon

[ismnotwasm]

21. Yes we did!

[TalenaGor]

22. yay!!

Now I don't have to move lol

[C Moon]

24. I think we'll be seeing this for a little while because they are fearing the Mueller effect.

The GOP wins by cheating—and now we are finding out the also win by accepting money from Russia.
I hope this puts a slow death to the party of the rich.

[Midnight Writer]

30. That was my exact reaction. Now that the refs are watching results are changing.

[C Moon]

33. Yes! And next we'll hear that the GOP wants to hurry the Mueller thing through so they can cheat

again in the 2018 elections (plus get Russian money back in the game).

[oldtime dfl_er]

26. My state too

Congrats to all my fellow Washingtonians for consolidating the blue wall!

[Mrs. Overall]

28. Yes!

[sprinkleeninow]

29. "Yo-ho-ho an' a bottle of Cap'n Applejack, mateys!"

You did spectacularly!
Turned my brown eyes 👀BLUE! 💙

[Laffy Kat]

31. ....

[Juliusseizure]

32. Just got back from Victory celebration

I'm in her district. It was her first time running and she won handily in a swing district, despite the Seattle Times's (Frank Blethlen) woeful recommendation of her opponent.

Outside groups spent millions here on a lot of propaganda that fell on deaf ears. I just have a strong hunch dems made sure to vote this time. This was anti-Trump vote.

[pnwmom]

37. I'm happy to see I wasn't the only Eastsider who was sick to death of the negative commercials.

Englund blew it!

[MFM008]

34. Hurrah!!!

I knew I voted for a reason....

[arthritisR_US]

40. To you...

[MFM008]

43. And

[onetexan]

35. yay!!!

[Hulk]

36. Now it's time to boot herrera-buetler and the rest of the rubber stamp repugs

When I moved here I watched Brian Baird throw in the towel in disgust after the "teabaggers" began their crusade to turn this country into a spinning shit blender.

Now lets turn the House and Senate and see if we can right this ship in my lifetime. I am so ashamed of the state of politics in this " once proud" nation I call my home.

[workinclasszero]

38. YES!!!!!!

So awesome!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

47. Winning states is where gerrymandering gets stopped cold & permanently.

Lock it away in impartial commissions that draw district lines according to non-partisan rules.

[IronLionZion]

48. Sweet!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

49. OK, last time I read one of these it later came out that the totals weren't final and the R

had pulled ahead. Can we really celebrate this one?

50. Democrat Manka Dhingra defeats Republican Jinyoung Lee Englund in state Senate race

Democrats will take control of the state Senate as Manka Dhingra defeated Republican rival Jinyoung Lee Englund in the 45th District state Senate race.

After the latest returns Wednesday, Democrat Dhingra’s double-digit lead stayed essentially the same as it was Tuesday night. She had 55.45 percent of the vote on Wednesday.

The Eastside contest has been Washington’s highest-profile state legislative race in years. A Republican-led coalition currently holds a one-vote Senate majority, but Dhingra’s victory flips control to the Democrats.

Democrats have a slim majority in the state House and also hold the governor’s office.
