If BOTH Spanberger and Sherrill win their respective races by more than 10%, I believe that will send a strong signal that American voters are dissatisfied by Trump's lack of leadership in what remains of the White House.

It appears there are some voters in the USD 383 and Manhattan City Commission election who live in Pottawatomie County, which means the results for these elections are posted partially in Riley County and partially in Pottawatomie County, and you need to add them together across documents from different county governments to know who is winning in these elections.
This is a really stupid way to report election results.
91/x
The results are not organized in descending order with the candidates who received the most votes listed first, either, which also complicates the process.
92/x
After creating a spreadsheet to add together the results from Riley and Pottawatomie County together, which is too much work to expect from voters trying to follow election results, here is where the races for USD 383 and Manhattan City Commission stand.

Jayme Morris-Hardeman, Lew Faust, and Courtney Jane Hochman lead in the USD 383 School Board election.
The top three candidates will win positions on the school board.
The difference between Courtney Jane Hochman, in third place; and Leah McKeeman, in fourth place, is 317 votes, which is a margin that is unlikely to be overcome.
94/x
Larry Fox, Jim Morrison, and Andrew Von Lintel lead in the Manhattan City Commission election.
The top three candidates will win positions on the commission.
Andrew Von Lintel, in third place; leads Amber Starling, in fourth place, by only 36 votes.
While it's unlikely the margin will change by that much as the remaining votes are counted, I believe the final winner in the race is still too close to call.

The 2025 elections were a resounding victory for Democrats.
Let's make sure the 2026 elections deliver the same powerful message: America does not accept, and will not tolerate, Trump's rampant abuses of power.
