New Jersey. Democrat Mikie Sherrill beat her Republican opponent by at least 13 points.
California. Gov. Gavin Newsom put Prop 50 to the voters: "Do you agree that we should redistrict our congressional seats to fight back against the Texas partisan gerrymander." The people answered -- not just "yes" but "hell yes! Give us five more Democratic seats!"
Georgia. Two Democrats flipped seats on the state’s Public Service Commission, the first non-federal statewide wins for Democrats in nearly two decades.
Mississippi. Democrats flipped a pair of Republican-held state Senate seats, cracking the GOP supermajority.
New York City. More than 2 million votes were cast in the mayor's race, the highest turnout for city elections since 1969, and the Muslim "Democratic socialist" won with just over 50% of the vote to 41.6% for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent.
Pennsylvania. Voters granted new 10-year terms to three Democratic justices on the state Supreme Court. The three ran without opponents, just a yes or no vote on retaining their seats.
Ohio. J.D. Vance’s half-brother, Cory Bowman, whom Vance had endorsed as certified MAGA, lost bigly in his bid to unseat the Democratic mayor of Cincinnati.
North Carolina. Still gathering the facts, but it looks like Democrats did very well in the municipals across the state. Boone elected the youngest mayor in North Carolina, Jon-Dalton George. More later.

It was a thorough shellacking. People are waking up not only to Trump's criminality but to the fact that he has no real answers to ANY problems in their lives. The truth is, he hates his own supporters -- case in point, what he's done to red-state farmers this year, taking away all their markets and, just to add insult to injury, importing Argentinean beef! Like wtf?! Actually the real telling sign that the "light bulb" is finally going on in red-state voters' minds are those Democratic pickups on the GA utility commission. An unthinkable upset, but that's what happens when voters tire of seeing their wallets looted by billionaires.
Bills arrive every month to remind us.
