Johnson lost by 66 votes, asking for recount.

The other MO Senate race has the Dem in the lead. Cross your fingures.

1. You have to wonder where the finance money came for from the

other two. 4 way races are rare.

Look to 4 way races as a new pattern to steal democracy. I'm not saying.. I'm just saying we should remember the race and see if '4 ways' become the "norm".

2. So we won one and likely lost one

Office Candidate Name Votes % Of Votes
State Senator - District 16 Precincts Reporting 127 of 127
Bill Hickle REP 46.9%
Frank A. Barnitz DEM 53.1%

At least we have something to be thankful for.

3. Bad news for the House

Bad news from the 38th district: Theresa Loar lost in a close race.

4. Funny how Jeff County just switched to Diebold

We've been using punch cards for years. This election was the first with Diebold optical scans - and what do you know, we get a Republican!

5. Hmm

the one dem who won, Barnitz is an "ultra-conserative" "Democrat". Yay.
