What a night.
Nationally, the Democrats have taken over the House, and still might take the Senate. We might not know that for a couple of days. Or weeks.
In Arizona, Janet Napolitano won the governor race in an expected landslide.
It looks like Arizona has become the first state to vote against a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. It's pretty close, but as of now it isn't going to pass. It's still not allowed by state law, but at least it won't be part of the constitution.
We also voted to increase the minimum wage.
And against animal cruelty.
And as it stands in our US Congress races, we now have 4 Democrats and 4 Republicans, a switch of 2 seats to the Democrats.
With 98.4% of the precincts reporting (but with some absentee ballots still out there), Harry Mitchell is leading over JD Hayworth, 51.8% to 44.7%. I have some photos from the Harry Mitchell party to post, but I'm too tired right now.
Living in a purple state is so much better than living in a red state.
