It's a Good Election Night

But not a great one, with Ohio overturning Governor John Kasich's union busting bill, while in Mississippi, they defeated the "fetal personhood" referendum, and Maine defeated the elimination of same day voter registration by the 'Phants.

On the other side, it's likely that Virginia's state Senate will flip to the 'Phants, (actually a 20-20 tie, but the Lt. Gov, who breaks ties is a Republican) with the pivotal seat having the Republican leading by 86 votes, and Mississippi approved a poll tax strict photo ID requirements.

I will say that the recall of über wingnut, and state senate leader, Steve Pearce in Arizona, made famous as the sponsor of Arizona's "Papers Please" law, does make me chuckle.
