Prepare for bad news

As you may have heard, there's an election today. Everything I'm hearing from the battlegrounds - Long Island, Erie, Monroe - indicates that we didn't perhaps do quite as well as expected.

TAP has an open thread for election results, here.

Results will be forthcoming as they become available.

[Update]: Nassau BOE, Suffolk BOE

[Update 2]: Andrew C. White, blogger extraordinaire running for Town Supervisor in Stephentown, lost. By email:

Supervisor:
White (D) – 417
Sherman ( R ) – 575

Council:
Eckhardt ( R ) – 630
Prescott – ( R ) – 596
Jennings – ( D ) – 413
McEwan – ( D ) – 374

Highway Superintendent:
Gardner ( R ) – 588
Sykes ( D ) – 467

D.A.:
Cholakis ( R ) – 503
McNally ( D ) – 455

Bummer.

[Update 3]: Nassau seems to be holding. Nailbiter for Mejias, results live here Close race in Suffolk's 4th district, with Democrat Brian Beedenbender leading republican Thomas Muratore 51.38% to 48.62%, 36 out of 51 EDs reporting. The actual vote count is 3,971 to 3,757.

[Update 4]: Erie County Exec race, over, we lost. Alan Bedenko, BuffaloPundit, has also conceded. And it looks as if Nassau isn't holding, either.

[Update 5]: Mejias is definitely a nailbiter; 56 out of 57 EDs counted, and Mejias leads 6,108 to 5,847. Democrats have taken the Islip Town Board, lost that of Brookhaven, and expanded the majority in the Suffolk legislature.

[Update 6, final]: The GOP is not conceding the Mejias race and demanding the ballots be impounded. Closer to home, thank you, bigot-enabling Corruptocrat Demotards: Noach Dear, bigot, was elected to a judgeship, 65% to 35%, per Azi. Welcome to New York City, where your Democratic Party has just made gays second-class citizens.

Progressive Districts

Only in New York

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering.

You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God can give us, to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.

— Winston Churchill
