Our friend was over last night for dinner and election results, and the term 'blurple ripple' came up. I even credited you, probably as "some internet guy."
I tried not to have too many expectations or pay attention to projections, so I'm OK with how it came out. Colorado came out pretty well.
I was very pleasantly surprised that our stupid secretary of state lost. He'd been getting a whole lot of glowing press about our elections being the most secure in the nation or something once the votes have been submitted, and it was like everyone forgot about how he ran his campaign on disenfranchising voters and how he was first in line to suck up to Kris Kobach. It never even occurred to me that he might actually lose, but then he did!
Our new governor elect is currently our representative, and I'm pretty done with him, so I'm looking forward to his replacement. Matlock likes the new guy, so I'm taking his word for some reason. Polis was the lesser of two evils in the governor race. He's good, I voted for him in the general election (not the primary), and I'm glad he won over the stupid crazy guy. He's just not my favorite. I'm glad he's won and that's over so I can start complaining about him more openly.
