Want a preview of the Chicago Mayoral election? Look at the shift from Vallas->Biggs and Brandon->Hilario. I imagine South and West side shifts to look different than these maps, but the Northwest/Northside shifts towards Biggs reflect trouble for Brandon with White voters.

Chicago is lowkey kind of a conservative city. Like they vote democratic but all the transplants are from midwestern suburbs and went to college football midwestern schools and they keep their ruraloid/suburbanoid worship or consumerism and fear of difference.

NEW: Chicago taxpayers will pay $260.8 million to 17 men who spent a combined 383 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted based on evidence gathered by disgraced former Chicago Police Detective Reynaldo Guevara.
Here are their stories. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/11/10/herβ¦
We can even compare Henderson + Hilario vs Brandon and see the pro-CTU base failing to turnout. There's open questions as to how widespread/deep the shift will be, but we should expect a similar map of shifts away from MBJ in February.

Michigan had some of the country's strongest GOP base turnout relative to 2024, also helping explain Benson's weaker showing. Full MS and SC data are pending, but GOP turnout looks weak in both. Fox News misreading the U.S. Senate battleground probably cost Republicans.

Multiple sources, Democratic and Republican strategists, tell @swin24 that Nixon and Jolly would have won if the Democrats invested in FL.
"All of them agreed β left or right β that Dems would have won in Florida, had the national powers-that-be put in more money and effort."

The DSA actually flipped a Republican-held seat in suburban Chicago on Tuesday! Democrat Ben McAdams unseated Republican incumbent Seth Lewis by 9 points in the Harris+3 #SD24, which covers central/northern DuPage County.
This came despite Lewis outspending McAdams 30-to-1!

By 2029, more than 70% of homesteaded properties in some Florida communities could be fully exempt from non-school property taxes under Amendment 3.
That creates an enormous challenge for funding police, fire, EMS, roads, and basic local government services.
One option I could see the Legislature exploring is a minimum per-parcel services tax, ensuring every property contributes something toward essential services, regardless of its taxable value.
A minimum tax for general government services is legally different from a special assessment tied to a specific property benefit. Whether Florida can authorize one by statute or needs a constitutional amendment is a question worth answering now.
Florida may be creating a system where most homeowners in some communities pay nothing in non-school property taxes but still expect the same level of services.
Amendment 3 settled the tax cut. It didnβt settle who pays for local government.

Extreme levels of cope happening online in how centrists are responding to DSA candidates being electoral overperformers. This invalidates almost all of their predictions from 2024-2025 βWARβ debates
The Chicago millionaire tax passed at ~80% citywide. The map is unsurprising here with much of the Gold Coast and suburban and/or Orthodox wards being the strongest against the measure. The Orthodox of West Ridge were even less supportive than the actual Gold Coast millionaires!
But what do the most supportive areas have in common? Very little! Ward 49 near Loyola and Ward 21 near Washington Heights drew 90.4 & 89.9% respectively. Loyola had the 3rd strongest precinct (93.7) after Grand Crossing (94.1) and South Deering (93.8) on the south side.

I'm running a live estimate of results in #CA11, as Scott Weiner and Connie Chan battle it out. The predictions won't start until there's at least 10% of the vote in, but early vote looks good for @Scott_Wiener.
