"90 DAYS TO THE MIDTERMS!!!"
Tue Aug-07-18 11:27 AM by bentagain

  

          

Just some interactive maps and thangs for those interested

https://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/

https://media.cq.com/electionguide/

hoping this can spark some discussion and insight on candidates and initiatives

Perhaps a sign of things to come, Tenn Dems almost whitewashed last week's elections, winning 21 of 26 seats

Any other hot topics or candidates that we should be focusing on, feel free to add below

Good time to make sure you are actually registered too
