DE-HD37: Special Election Tonight

UPDATE: The GOP wins — not a big surprise, since even the Obama-Biden ticket couldn’t win this House district, but the GOP successfully averted giving the Democrats a supermajority.


Polls are set to close at 8pm Eastern for an open seat House special election in Delaware. We’re looking at a GOP-held seat in conservative Sussex County that came open when its incumbent, Joe Booth, won a special election for a state Senate seat. Josh Goodman over at Ballot Box has a good rundown on the race, but the gist of it is that a win here for Team Blue would give the Democrats a supermajority in the Delaware House.
