63,598 > 61,308. Current turnout tally in an odd Thursday special election in NJ vs. highest turnout anywhere in NJ in June 2024 Dem congressional primary, in a presidential election yr. h/t @newjerseypolitics.bsky.social This stampede to the polls sure is something. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/n...
The race among Democrats hoping to replace Gov. Mikie Sherrill in Congress is a nailbiter. Analilia Mejia leads by 486 votes out of more than 61,000 ballots tallied. About 6,000 ballots remain to be counted. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/n...

To those keeping tabs on people still doing the hard work, here's a guy who helped to turn around the Newark PD and wound up as the police chief in Minneapolis:
Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
