8:30a.m. -- Former Rep. Frank Guinta defeated Carol Shea-Porter in New Hampshire's 1st. Shea-Porter cosponsored H.R.15. Guinta was a True Reformer in 2010, and earned an A during his only term in Congress. In Nevada's 4th, incumbent and H.R.15 cosponsor Steven Horsford lost his seat to Cresent Hardy. Hardy completed a NumbersUSA survey, but not completely. Still, he appears to be better on the issue than Horsford was. In New York's 1st, Lee Zeldin defeated incumbent and H.R.15 cosponsor Tim Bishop. Zeldin has made some encouraging statements, and our activists in the district speak highly of him.
Two more True Reformers won elections -- Buddy Carter won Georgia's 1st. The seat is being vacated by Jack Kingston who ran for the open U.S. Senate seat. And incumbent Adrian Smith won re-election in Nebraska's 3rd district.
An interesting note from South Carolina's senate races... The state, unusually, had two races for U.S. Senate, one of which was a special election to permanently fill the seat vacated by Jim DeMint who left to head the conservative Heritage Foundation. The seat held by Gang of Eight member, Lindsey Graham, was up in its normal cycle. Despite being on the same ballot across the state, Scott has 84,000 more votes than Graham, but Graham's opponent only received 21,000 more votes than Scott's. That means more than 60,000 South Carolinians who voted for Scott simply decided not to vote in the Graham race. Maybe they were turned off by Graham's support of amnesty...
