For one, Off-year elections: Whether it's New Jersey, #TN07 or random state legislative races in Florida and Iowa, Democratic voter turnout is going wild.

#TN07 should pay at least double the tariffs from everyone else
Or triple
They voted for a MAGA end of last year although they all knew
@aftynbehn.bsky.social would have been a good start
#TN07 must have a lot of things wrong. They elected a MAGA who openly said he would cover the #Epstein files
She would have deserved so much better voters
Remember @aftynbehn.bsky.social who should have won #TN07?
Instead they send a MAGA?
Well, for now

And imagine, that’s exactly what #Tennessee #TN07 did. Just a few weeks ago, not a year….
THEY have actually deserved everything they get and more
Especially for everyone in #TN07 who voted for this just now
I hope it hits where it should hit
Tennessee is one of the top 15 or so most rural states in the U.S. Good luck drawing a +22 GOP gerrymander a la #TN07 in Illinois or New Jersey.
Yes, it’s good. But personally still deeply disappointed in #TN07 and in Nashville.
After this year and seeing that extremely incompetent and rabid candidate… I lost my Nashville that I once held in dear memory. Fringe crazies went mainstream 💔
Oh, MAGA have proven how exceptionally stupid they can be.
As long as he is hating and torturing black and brown people they will be happy
We have just seen that in #TN07 #
Ruin, war, lawlessness, pedophilia..who cares as long as I can watch brown people getting mistreated and thrown out
A few days late to this, but this is a fantastic #TN07 recap from @the-downballot.com which hits on all of the key electoral components of that race:
*Margin
*Turnout
*Correlations to neighboring #TN05
*The ‘candidate fit’ debate I’ve been engaging in

Something is afoot.

And here's a comparison of the 2024 Presidential numbers with this race in #TN07. Behn outperformed Harris by 20-30 pts in much of Nashville and a 42pt swing in one box downtown. Van Epps improved vs. Trump '24 in a couple of precincts in Hickman and Wayne Co's. (2/2)
Map by precinct of Tuesday's #TN07 Special Election where Matt Van Epps (R) won by an 8.8pt margin. Van Epps' rural and suburban votes held strong while State Rep. Aftyn Behn (D) closed some of the gap with an overperformance in Nashville's core. (1/2)
Sigh... there was no conspiracy theory in the special election for #TN07. What happened was we didn't get enough people on our side to vote, in part because of an early deadline to register to vote (November 3rd).
The 31,000 ballots that materialized were likely counties reporting numbers quickly.
#FL07 and #TN05 belong to the scandal-plagued GOP Reps Cory Mills and Andy Ogles, respectively.
Who knows if Mills is saved by redistricting, but Ogles should be very worried after what happened in the #TN07 special since he’s running next door against a much stronger opponent.
“Matt Van Epps will be the hero. I mean, he will be the deciding vote.”
Matt Van Epps will be the deciding vote to make health care and groceries even more unaffordable. #TN07

This #TN07 post-mortem gets at the ‘candidate fit’ conversation that Democrats need to have in contested primaries for tougher-but-winnable seats.

Obviously 2/3 of #SCOTUS is corrupt. Nearly all their rulings should be overturned later, like the #Taney court likely should've faced (maybe they did?)
One thing about heavy #gerrymander is those "likely R" districts are more tenuous. Even with #TN07 size swings, #TX #Republicans may regret this.

In this week's DDHQ Podcast, @geoffreyskelley.com talked Tennessee with @rubashkin.bsky.social from Inside Elections! They dug into the #TN07 special election result — especially the contest's high turnout — and what it may say about next year's midterms. decisiondeskhq.substack.com/p/tennessee-...
ETA, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization of statisticians, data scientists, cybersecurity specialists + other experts, investgated the 2025 #Tennessee Special Election.
This preliminary review analyzes precinct-level results from Montgomery County, one of 14 counties in CD-7 #TN07 #Manipulation? 🤔
The GOP is deeply unsettled by the big Dem showing in #TN07. On The Downballot podcast this week, @davidnir.com & @dwbeard.bsky.social explain why they're right to be.
We also geek out w/Lou Jacobson about the Almanac of American Politics, a seminal resource for all political nerds. Listen here!
Every. Single. County. That’s where Democrats overperformed in the #TN07 special.
Mike Johnson— your days in the majority are numbered.
And no matter how hard the GOP tries to spin this story, every single county in #TN07 moved to the left. I just wished it had moved to the left by more than the margins shown below let alone flip more counties to blue, but that is something we can work on next time. #TN05 and #TN07 are in play IMHO.
