[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3814843, member: 18222"] It was the reason that I and many others in Georgia voted for Kemp instead of the Libertarian (Ted Metz) on the ballot. The Kavanaugh Senators cost Stacey Abrams the Governor's Office in Georgia. Libertarian votes were down 1% of the total vote from 2014 ... possibly more than the margin between Kemp and Abrams. [I]Incumbent Senate Democrats in battleground states who opposed the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination appeared to have paid a price on Election Day, with senators Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Indiana’s Joe Donnelly, Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Florida’s Bill Nelson all suffering defeat. In fact, every Democrat incumbent who opposed Kavanaugh in states rated “toss up” by Fox News lost their race. In contrast, the lone Democrat who voted for Kavanaugh, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, won his race. “Every Dem Senator in a competitive race who voted against Kavanaugh lost,” tweeted Tom Bevan, Co-founder of RealClearPolitics. Fox News polling offered evidence the Kavanaugh issue was a major problem for those battleground incumbent Democrats.[/I] [/QUOTE]
