On paper, Iowa's #SD21 should be an ultra competitive district. It's a suburban Des Moines district that narrowly backed Biden before backing Trump by 2 in 2024.
However, the Republican incumbent here up and left to run for a more Republican district! That should tell you a lot.
Polls closed in SC at 7 PM ET. Results here: www.enr-scvotes.org/SC/125770/we...
Still *super* early, but in the uncontested #SD21 (around Trump+50), write-ins are currently getting 42% of the vote against Republican Lee Bright.
Missed one for McInnis primary in #SD21. It's now 30% of Republican state lawmakers running for reelection having a contested March 3 primary (28/92). #ncpol
Final results in the Georgia #SD21 (Trump+34) special election:
Jason Dickerson (R)- 61.5%
Debra Shigley (D)- 38.5%
11 point Democratic overperformance from 2024 in exurban Atlanta!
Keeping an eye on the returns in #GA #SD21 runoff. Debra Shigley is a great candidate who cares about her community.
Early + Mail-in vote in for Georgia's #SD21 (Trump+34) special election:
Jason Dickerson (R)- 57.4%
Debra Shigley (D)- 42.6%
Should get a few points redder with election day votes, but still on track for a big Democratic overperformance in exurban Atlanta.
Tonight is special election night in Georgia! We've got one tonight in #SD21 in the northern Atlanta suburbs/exurbs.
This district backed Trump by 34 last year, but the Democratic candidate received 40% of the vote in the 1st round last month, so we're on overperformance watch.

Early/Mail-in votes have reported in Georgia's #SD21 (Trump+34) special election:
Debra Shigley (D)- 46.2%
Steve West (R)- 15.8%
Jason Dickerson (R)- 15.6%
Brian Will (R)- 10.6%
Other Republicans- 11.8%
If nobody gets over 50% (very likely), we go to a runoff in September.
Georgia's #SD21 in the northern Atlanta exurbs is up in a special election this Tuesday. It's a safely Republican district, but I'm interested to see if a Democrat can make it to the runoff.
With six(!) Republicans running and only one Democrat, I like the odds of it happening.

#Georgia state senate district 21, there's a special election on 8/26.
This seat is flippable. @shaouy.bsky.social and I knocked on doors for #DebraShigley today. She's a working mom of 5 who wants to make raising a family more affordable. #GApol #SD21

Knocked 35 doors for Debra Shigley today in near-100° heat. This SD-21 seat is flippable, y’all. Special election is 8/26. She’s got the smarts, the story, and the momentum. Let’s win this thing. #gapol #SD21 #DebraShigley @georgiademocrat.bsky.social
I live in #Georgia and #SD21 is having a special election.
One of the #Republican #MAGA fucktard candidates, Brian Will, sent out a flyer that says, among other bullshit, "Reject woke leftist orthodoxy and STOP the indoctrination of our children in public schools." /1

Recap of tonight's specials. Dems overperform by double digits in two races.
Connecticut:
#SD21: R+7/Trump+1
#HD40: D+38/Harris+22
Maine:
#HD24: D+44/Harris+25
In 10 races this year, Dems on average are performing 9 pts better than the 2024 prez results.
Our complete Big Board:
As @bobgeo.bsky.social notes, CT's #SD21 has been represented by a Republican continuously since 1967. Of course the district lines have shifted a bit over time, but it's always been based in the same area around Shelton en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connect...
Here are the final results in the Connecticut #SD21 special election:
Jason Perillo (R)- 53.5%
Tony Afriyie (D)- 46.5%
Trump+0.5 district, marking this the first Republican overperformance this year. Of course it happens in Connecticut.
Another possible D flip—and an upset—could be brewing in Connecticut. #SD21 is an ancestrally Republican seat that voted Trump-Biden-Trump, and the GOPer is a sitting state rep, but the Dem is up, albeit with an unclear # of precincts reporting ("17 of 7"? c'mon guys) ctemspublic.tgstg.net#/races
Sorry is #SD21 dem held?
We have three special state legislative elections today in Maine & Connecticut. Two of them (Maine's #HD24 & Connecticut's #HD40) should be easy Democratic holds.
The final one, Connecticut's #SD21, backed Trump by 0.5% after backing Biden by 4%. Definitely a flip opportunity.
The most interesting special election tonight is in CT #SD21, a GOP seat that, per our calculations, voted for Donald Trump ... by all of half a percentage point. The GOP nominated a sitting state rep while the Dem is a newcomer, but still worth keeping an eye on! Follow on our Big Board:
The closest State Senate race in Colorado last year was a surprising one, #SD21 in the northern Denver suburbs.
This plurality-Hispanic district re-elected Democratic State Senator Dafna Michaelson Jenet, but only by two points as it swung from Biden+15 to Harris+4.
