Nice! Looks like Megan is going to win by almost 700 votes!

I'm guessing their last name is Duggar or they've married a Duggar.

43.1% for a Republican in that area is pretty embarrassing.

I don’t even think any of them live in that district. Except maybe Jer since he lives with Jed.

Springdale has large Hispanic and Marshallese populations. Much more democratic than you'd think.

[Dominionatrix]

I’m genuinely relieved. 

[JenniferJuniper]

Good news.

Carver bowers just updated his instagram with a video. Looks like the duggars are hosting a massive election night party at their house wtf

So do the twins move back to the TTH now that they no longer need to live in that district?

WTF? One possible superspreader event follows another. Did anybody spot any other fundies we know? The video was too shaky for me. That always makes me sick.

I imagine Jed has to give his landlord 30 days notice in the morning. ?

I saw Lauren Caldwell. And maybe Bob Ballinger? 

[SorenaJ]

Back home to his bunkbed then. Ha!

Awww poor Jeddy. Turns out being white with a penis isn't necessarily enough.

This is exactly what I said on Twitter. Now that the charade is over, they will have to pack up their little experimental house and move back home with mommy & daddy. Too bad, so sad. Pompous, arrogant ignorance is not a good quality in a child. 

[Snarkasarus Rex]

I’m pretty sure Bert and Ernie will be courting soon, so they’ll stay where they are. Even Boob knows how forcing his adult sons to move back home looks.

[wendy-sparkles]

I personally like to imagine that Jed and Jer are playing the long game, and running for office was just a ruse to be allowed to move out, and they'll have some excuse why they can't move back. (I know this is wishful thinking and Jed is actually an arrogant ass)

It's going to look real bad them moving back home tomorrow, which is why they won't tell or show us at all. At least they never got to experience having their own bedrooms, so the loss of privacy won't be so jarring l o l

[HideousGreenShirt]

Every time I see this thread, I misread it as "Jed is running for STEAK house".

Glad he didn't win. I hope he is suitably embarrassed enough not to try running again.

If we can say nothing else for trash-fire 2020 (at the time i'm writing this, the prez election isn't finalized) at least this asshole (jed) lost.   Decisively.  BEAT BY A WOMAN, and a Dem at that.  Take that fuckface.   Lets take a moment to really savor that.

Edit to add - for the benefit of anyone who comes across this later, and dosent read past pages, Jed didn't even beat a primary opponent.  He was the only R running in the primary for this race, so he was automatically passed along to the general.

I'm still concerned that he had so many votes. That means he actually had a chance and it scares me. He's very young now and will still be young in 4 years. I think he might try again ?

[Idlewild]

I’m sure he’ll try again- JB chose one of his younger sons so he could play the long game, get his face known in politics rather than just one of the J brothers and start building support among Republicans. If I were a Springdale republican voter I’d be pretty annoyed that my party thought a 21 year old with no public service who was parachuted into the area by his Daddy weeks before registration was worthy of my loyalty but then gun, penis, bible seems to be a powerful mandate.

Yeah I know.  And although prior to election night, in taking the long view I would still have put my money on Megan, I was nervous, because Arkansas.   But he DID lose.  And it is annoying that that many people thought he was a good choice.  But WAY MORE people thought Megan was.  Also consider, none of us knew who Megan was before this election.  (well, maybe a few fjers did, but I think most didnt.). But we all knew who jed was.  He had the advantage of many many years of tv celebrity and name recognition.  And even with all that he lost.  We should always be vigilant, but its ok to take a moment and celebrate a delicious victory.
