Democrats won an exurban St. Louis seat in the Missouri state House of Representatives on Tuesday, racking up another victory in a district carried easily by President Trump in the 2016 election.
Voters in Jefferson County appeared to choose Mike Revis, a 27-year old Democrat, to fill a seat left vacant when the incumbent quit to run for county executive. With all ten precincts within the district reporting, Revis led Republican David Linton by 108 votes, or about three percentage points.

“I thought everyone else was going to vote like I would have.”
And a super large majority of Republicans let their seat go to Hillary’s party.

OMG!!!! Its a Marxist Wave!!!
Sounds like the GOTV effort failed.
What would the results had been were this not a special election?
“Deep red” and St. Louis is an oxymoron! MO has 3 deep blue areas: KC, StL, and Boone County (Columbia, home of the University of MO.)

The libtards are obviously more motivated for the special elections, but I don’t expect the same to hold true for the midterms.

Exurban, it says. Maybe that demographic has been shifting leftward like St. Louis itself.
Things aren’t always simple. A full midterm fight won’t be as easy for Democrats as onesy-twosy contests. Still, expect pressure.
This is the beginning of the end for Trump /s
Without a good political science analysis we couldn’t say.
108 vote margin = a stolen election

Democrats flipped a Missouri House seat in Tuesday’s special election in a district that President Trump won by 28 points in 2016, signaling problems for the GOP ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Democrat Mike Revis won the election with nearly 52 percent of the vote while Republican David Linton received 48 percent. Tuesday’s election marks a 31-point swing to Democrats in the district compared to the 2016 presidential election.

Why would the very high Democrat turnout we've seen in race after race like Alabama and Virginia not continue in the midterms. The VA election was not a special election, it was the Governor and state legislature. The AL Senate race was a special election but it was very high profile. Some Republicans not voting for Moore played a role but the very high Dem turnout played a bigger role.
