not purporting to know for sure and I fully admit I haven't paid any attention to exit polls yet, still, I just thought of this promise which did get a lot of play on social media:

Senator Lindsey Graham made it clear: Republicans want a national ban on abortion. But if we elect two more Democratic senators and keep control of the House, we will codify Roe v. Wade. pic.twitter.com/UNFw63oV9k

The Wisconsin Senate race is suddenly getting very, very interesting again. 10% of votes are left to be counted, Barnes (D) is only down by 1.4%, and it seems most of the remaining votes are in heavily Democratic Milwaukee. https://t.co/rJIFA2wAV6

Bolduc even/slight lead in polls. Loses by over 10%.

No flooding the polls, eh?

New Hampshire'da oyların %64'ü sayıldı ve Demokrat aday yarışı kazandı.

See this is what happens — the exit polls always underrate the number of non-college whites.

Then because they are benchmarked to the actual outcome, they exaggerate GOP vote share within each demographic to compensate for undersampling the most conservative group. https://t.co/RxkYhoiubF

Destroying Twitter's brand,

Destroying Twitter's brand, its openness? Yeah, I've got a problem with that.
I mean, sure, he bought it, he can fuck it up. In the end it's his money,
and if Jack couldn't figure out a better way, them's the choices
(not that someone overpayng $20bill for his platform in trouble is something he'll pass up.
Despite some crap service management at times, overall Twitter's been quite useful for politics.
But Elon feels like he's taking it back down the learning curve to that of maybe 10 years ago.
Couldn't a newbie look a bit before jumping in with 2 left feet?

I don’t mind someone being partisan—I’m medium partisan myself—but when you forget the other side is human and has reasons for their voting choices that require some effort and empathy to grasp, I think you’ve gone astray.

He's warning his followers not to fall for it and reminding them how deluded they are:

At least one progressive group *already sent out* its analysis of why Democrats lost the midterms because they weren’t progressive enough.
