Pennsylvania

In the General Election on November 2nd the Republican party had significant gains in Pennsylvania. Tom Corbett (R) defeated Dan Onorato by ten points 54.5% to 45.5%. Corbett received 2,137,983 votes and Onorato only received 1,783,995 votes. In addition, Corbett had a surprise win in Allegheny County by two points. Pittsburgh was considered a stronghold for Onorato and the Democrats. Furthermore, Corbett will replace Ed Rendell (D) as governor and try to handle the many issues that face Pennsylvania in the coming years.
The Senate race proved to be very dramatic on election night. Pat Toomey (R) ended up winning in a highly contested election against Joe Sestak (D) 51% to 49%. Toomey received 1,995,026 votes and Sestak received only 1,916,703 votes. The polling proved to be accurate as they predicted Toomey would win by two points. This was a major win for the GOP who is trying to gain the majority in the Senate.
In the ten Congressional races in Pennsylvania the Republicans picked up five seats and held three of their seats. Democratic candidate’s held three seats which were districts in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.  The GOP gains in Pennsylvania helped the party become the majority in the Congress.

Arkansas Results

In regards to the races in Arkansas, everyone that was predicted to win, ended up winning!

Boozman (a Republican) beat out current Senator Blanche Lincoln for a spot in Sentate by a 21.1 margin.

Mike Beebe (a Democrat) beat out Republican Jim Keet (Republican) for Governor by a margin of 30.9.

Both of these spreads are pretty significant, and these results had previously been determined by the polls the past few weeks.

In the Arkansas District 4 Race, Mike Ross (Democrat) beat out Beth Anne Rankin (Democrat) by gaining 58% of the vote, compared to Rankin's 40%.

In the Arkansas District 1 Race, Rick Crawford (Republican) beat out Chad Causey (Democrat) 52% to 43%.

In the Arkansas District 2 Race, Tim Griffin (Republican) beat out Joyce Elliot (Democrat) by gaining 58% of the vote compared to Joyce's 38%.

Once again, these spreads are pretty significant, but were also pre-determined. It is interesting to note that Arkansas picked more Republicans than Democrats. It is also interesting that they picked a Republican senator but a Democratic Governor. We shall see what these people can do for Arkansas in the next two years!

Reid Survives in Nevada; 3rd House District Goes Red

As of this afternoon on Wednesday, November 3, 2010, all precincts have reported in Nevada’s elections. Harry Reid has soundly defeated Tea Party-backed Sharron Angle by a margin of about 40,000 votes:

Harry Reid (D)          50.2%            361,655 votes
Sharron Angle (R)       44.6%              320,996 votes
None of these              2.2%               16,174 votes

Angle was unable to compensate for Reid’s large electoral gains in Clark and Washoe Counties (housing Las Vegas and Reno respectively) despite her sweep of Nevada’s other counties (except for Mineral County which had a 30 vote difference in favor of Reid).

As expected, the Nevada 2nd House District went to Republican Dean Heller and Nevada’s 1st House District (encompassing Las Vegas proper) reelected Democrat Shelley Berkley.

Dean Heller (R)         63.3%            169,286 votes
Nancy Price (D)          32.6%              87,226 votes

Shelley Berkley (D)   61.7%            102,870 votes
Kenneth Wegner (R)   35.3%              58,920 votes

Perhaps the closest race in Nevada was for the 3rd House District which was expected to be a toss-up going into November. This district, which houses Las Vegas’ suburbs is more moderate and consists of relatively equal strengths between Republicans and Democrats. The incumbent, Dina Titus (D) was defeated by a small margin (about 2,000 votes or less than 1%). As a result, Republican Joe Heck successfully persuaded the voters of the 3rd District to swap the party representing them in Washington D.C.

Joe Heck (R)              48.2%            128,703 votes
Dina Titus (D)             47.4%              126,781 votes

Same thing with the 24th district, the Republican Richard Hanna won against Michael Arcuri.

NY25:

Dan Maffei stays like the polls show and won with 51% against 49% for Ann Marie Buerkle.

Senate:

Gillibrand took her seat against DioGuardi as it was told.
