It surely is a glorious day after the school board election ousting the massive out of state Koch money. Even they could not buy the election twice. Good bye to the ultra right wing majority that massive out of state Koch money bought in the prior election. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/jefferson-county-school-board/ |

If you really want to talk about elections, talk about this one in which a Tea Party candidate won. You know that TP that libs say is gone. lol Democrats outspent and outpolled Republican novice Matt Bevin and expected their candidate, Attorney General Jack Conway, to keep the Kentucky governorship in Democrat hands, where it had been for all but one term of the last half-century. Instead, Tea Partier Bevin, who had previously challenged Mitch McConnell for the GOP nomination for senator and lost big, pulled off a near landslide victory with an 85,000-vote margin.

Read about elections across the country and not school board elections either. Reps had a great day. PowerPost Follow @powerpost Get The Daily 202 Newsletter The Daily 202 The Daily 202: From coast to coast, conservatives score huge victories in off-year elections By James Hohmann November 4 at 7:03 AM Republicans win key votes on election day Kentucky elected a millionaire Republican governor and Ohio voted against legalizing marijuana on Nov. 3 . Democrats had a rough election day, with the GOP dominating in key states. (AP) THE BIG IDEA: Just like the midterms one year ago, it was another awful night for Democrats. Republican Matt Bevin won a big upset in the Kentucky governor’s race. The guy who Mitch McConnell crushed by 25 points in a 2014 primary will now become just the second Republican to govern the Bluegrass State in four decades. Democrats failed to pick up Virginia’s state Senate. It’s a huge blow to Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who went all-in to make it happen. Democrats could have won by capturing just one seat because of the tie-breaking authority of Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D). But Republicans held every single seat. Houston’s Equal Rights Ordinance, designed to protect the rights of gay citizens and others, failed by a wide margin. Ohio rejected marijuana legalization by a two-to-one margin. Even in San Francisco, the sheriff who steadfastly defended the city’s “sanctuary city” policy went down. Fox News: “Ross Mirkarimi and his office received heavy criticism after Mexican illegal immigrant Francisco Sanchez allegedly shot and killed 32-year-old Kate Steinle on San Francisco’s waterfront July 1. Sanchez had been released from Mirkarimi’s jail in March even though federal immigration officials had requested that he be detained for possible deportation.” The city also rejected new regulations on Airbnb. The Kentucky surprise is the biggest story of the night. Here are eight takeaways from Bevin’s blowout in the Bluegrass State: –2015 really is the Year of the Outsider. Democratic Governors Association executive director Elisabeth Pearson chalked up Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway’s defeat to “Trump-mania” in a press release: “Jack Conway ran a strong campaign … Unfortunately, he ran into the unexpected headwinds of Trump-mania, losing to an outsider candidate in the Year of the Outsider.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2015/11/04/the-daily-202-from-coast-to-coast-conservatives-score-huge-victories-in-off-year-elections/ |

There were more elections yesterday than your little school board Colo. Now if you want to make allegations about the Kochs, show us some proof they tried to buy that school board election. |

I am not sure why I should give a rat's ass about some obscure Colorado school board. Lowell must have some personal stake in this, family, friends, etc. |
