That's a lot of states (and therefore candidates) for one thread. Some states have much larger numbers of watch-worthy candidates than others. I'll be bouncing between several different watch / victory parties this evening, so won't be contributing here until after all the action is over with. And I thought something like this couldn't be an official thread unless it was started by The Collins! :collins:

edit: Hey, the Collins icon thingy doesn't work anymore!

Dan Bongino's message

Daniel Bongino (https://www.facebook.com/dan.bongino?hc_location=timeline)

Yesterday

Does my vote matter?

I hear this often and my answer may surprise you. While your vote is unlikely to be the deciding factor in any single election, your participation in the electoral process is vital. Here's why; those seeking elected office, and those in elected office, know if you voted, although they do not know who you voted for.

Why is this important? In modern elections, data is everything and voter-targeting in now ubiquitous. Candidates, and those running for reelection, have limited time periods to reach voters and the days of knocking on every door are over. And, although you may find those robo-calls, knocks on your door, and political mailers annoying, you should consider them a good sign of your civic engagement. If you are on the receiving end of these calls and door knocks it's due to the fact that you have been identified (typically by a high voter score) as someone who takes their responsibility to vote seriously.

The insider crowd in both DC, and in the State-House, also know if you vote and, although they are your representative whether you vote or not, I have heard about them responding rapidly to those who they know vote. I am not sanctioning this behavior, simply doing what I have always done on this page, tell it as it is, not as it should be.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 24th, is Maryland's Primary election. Whether you support me or not tomorrow, please vote because, whether I win or lose, you,
when choosing not to vote, lose.

One final note, there are three exceptional candidates running tomorrow who I endorsed first in this cycle. They are terrific candidates who I am sure will clean house in Annapolis. Please support:
-Brian Chisholm for Delegate in Anne Arundel County
-Wendi Peters for Delegate in Frederick and Carroll Counties
-Josh Stonko for Delegate in Carroll County

Thank you for everything, it is an honor to fight this fight alongside you.
-Dan

Yeah, but it's the only way to keep it all on the radar:cool: I hope you get some wins, can you give us the names of all the OK candidates to watch?

They're all listed in the thread here:
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?453044-More-Oklahoma-Liberty-Candidates!-Still-time-to-donate!-%28June-24-primary%29

I'll probably just leave CD5 blank on my ballot, since write-ins aren't allowed in OK (they void your entire ballot if you try it). There seem to be two big watch / victory parties among liberty folks in OKC. I'll be starting at one, end up at the other, and in between them will probably pop in briefly at liberal Johnson's event (I like her on a personal level, even though she's good at coming up with the wrong solutions to the right problems on just about every issue - we always have a lot to say to each other, since I'm in her district - I can write more about her at length, if anyone really wants to know). I will be sure to get some pictures! We WILL get some wins, the only question is how many of them. I still haven't been told I can release info on Mark Thomas' "secret weapon", so hopefully I can get permission do so tonight and at least be able to post this info after the fact. Duane C is unopposed in his primary for the State Senate seat that Johnson is vacating (to run for the open US Senate seat), so there won't be any results to watch for for him until the general.

edit: WT, you left off a couple in the edit to your OP.

Maryland CD 6 has been called for Dan Bongino, it's a Dem+4% seat according to Cook.

[COpatriot]

Ugh, any good news there? Local races etc? most of us here don't know Colorado.

Tancredo was my choice, but I'll have to bear it and vote for the GOP nominee. As long as they don't go after marijuana I'm ok with them. We voted on it and legalized it and they should respect that. The bullshit gun laws the Dems gave us last year have lit a fire under the opposition. This is probably our last chance though. If we can't get rid of Hickenlooper and his ilk this time around I fear the California poison will take over this state for good and strangle it to death like they did in their own state before they came here.

This is a pretty red district and our incumbent congressman who I've met but don't really like narrowly beat his primary challenger by less than 2,000 votes. He gets one every year and this guy has gone after him a few times but this was the closest anyone has gotten to beating him.

Posted: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 9:15 am | Updated: 9:39 am, Wed Jun 25, 2014.
By TIM PRUDENTE tprudente@capgaznews.com
He is a debt collection attorney in Pasadena. He launched a failed bid for president a decade ago. He co-founded an institute teaching people to recover lost freedoms by studying the Founding Fathers.
And with absentee and provisional ballots still uncounted, Michael Anthony Peroutka leads the District 5 Republican primary for County Council.
With 2,253 votes, he is 36 ahead of Maureen Carr-York; three others also sought the GOP nomination for the council seat.
Peroutka got 459 more votes than one-term Republican incumbent Dick Ladd, who came in third with 1,794 seats and appears to have lost his seat on the County Council.
Carr-York said she is “awaiting the count of the absentee and provisional ballots. There are more than enough to make up that difference. We’ll just have to wait and see what that count is.”
The county Board of Elections will count absentee ballots at 10 a.m. Thursday in Glen Burnie, with provisional ballots counted July 2. On July 7, the board will certify the results of the primary election.
Peroutka could not be reached Wednesday morning, but he’s been outspoken with his teachings.
“If you think that law is something that a legislature can make just by passing a bill and sending it to a governor or a president for his approval ... then I would respectfully suggest that you are mistaken about the true source and nature of law,” he wrote for his Institute on the Constitution.
“American law is based on the view that the moral law of the God of the Bible is controlling in all cases.”
Peroutka has campaigned against stormwater fees, which are paid by property owners to lessen Chesapeake Bay pollution. He has also been involved with the League of the South, a group that advocates Southern secession.
The league has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, but Peroutka said it calls for self government and independence, just as the Founding Fathers did.
“Those are very American things,” he said in a March story in The Capital.
Peroutka asked, at that time, that attention be focused on his campaign.
He ran for president as a member of the Constitution Party in 2004, finishing fifth with more than 143,000 votes, according to the Federal Election Commission.
The Constitution Party is a socially and fiscally conservative group that opposes homosexuality and all abortions and calls for a renewed allegiance to the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Peroutka changed his party registration just before a candidates’ filing deadline in February, causing some in the Republican establishment to question his commitment to the party.
He responded, in the March news story, that he has always been a Republican, “small r.”
Carr-York said she anticipated there would be support for Peroutka.
“There was a heavy radio and robo-call effort by his campaign in the last few days,” she said. “I think we see the results of that in the polls.”

Peroutka WON!


By REMA RAHMAN rrahman@capgaznews.com Maureen Carr-York has conceded in the Republican primary for County Council in District 5, where Michael Anthony Peroutka won by 38 votes.
In a post on her campaign’s Facebook page early Wednesday, Carr-York said she would not ask the Board of Elections for a recount, a move she was considering last week.
“I am confident that, with 38 votes the difference, the count is correct,” Carr-York wrote. “I congratulate Michael Anthony Peroutka on his primary win and wish him well.”
Peroutka won a five-way GOP primary in District 5. He will face Democratic primary winner Patrick Armstrong in the general election Nov. 4. Incumbent Dick Ladd came in third, 6 percent behind Peroutka.
In her concession post, Carr-York thanked Anne Arundel County election judges, writing that through early voting, Election Day and three days of canvassing, they had been “carefully protecting the integrity of the vote.”
Carr-York told The Capital by email Wednesday she would have asked for a recount if she felt there was a problem with the count, or if Peroutka’s lead had narrowed.
“This is a painstaking process and takes time,” Carr-York said. “With so much at stake for our county, I did not rush it.”
Peroutka’s campaign has not declared victory. Messages left for his campaign were not returned.
Peroutka had 2,337 votes cast in his favor and Carr-York had 2,299, dividing them by 0.5 percent.
The candidates were separated by 16 votes at the start of the second day of canvassing, but Peroutka widened his lead to 38 votes after all District 5 absentee and provisional ballots were counted July 2. No new ballots cast in the district had arrived in time to be counted by Monday.
The county Board of Elections certified the results of the 2014 primary Monday, after a third and final day of canvassing.
