#Democrat #ChedrickGreene beats #Republican #JasonTunney in a #Saginaw area special #election in #Michigan

Meaning:

The Michigan State #Senate will be 20-18 in favor of the Democrats, rather than a tie

"but i want perfect"

"both sides the same"

"the vote is hacked"

"waah waah"

shut the fuck up

#VOTE!
