Calling Tuesday night a “half-dozen scattered elections” shows why everyone needs to follow sites like The Downballot. There were thousands of elections this week, and Dems achieved as close to a clean sweep as is possible. We kept readers informed on dozens and dozens of them.

Women running on affordability powered Democrats’ night of victories
