A wild day in the ongoing saga of British Columbia politics... and now there is an election called for Oct 24.
To try and summarize the centre-right developments:
• Milobar and 7 of 8 @VoteCentreBC MLAs quit to rejoin @Conservative_BC under leader @LDoerkson
• @elenoresturko remains with @VoteCentreBC, and party says will find more candidates
• @Brent4SurreySth leaves Cons for @One_BCHQ
• @KerryLynneFindl not running again for Cons
• @SheldonClareBC also out of Cons
• Press conference from @Conservative_BC expected late this afternoon.
Having seen several ET accounts posting theirs today, here's my version of "Who would you vote for in each European Country":

Swedish broadcaster SVT drips out the results of the exit poll to create suspense and have cameras at the party HQ's to capture the reaction as each one's likely fate is announced. At the moment the left (S,V,MP,C) and right(M,SD,KD,L) blocs are nearly tied.
TN 9th Dist. map by precinct: @SenBrentTaylor won 46%-26% over Rep. Todd Warner, who took Bedford Co and southern Marshall and Wayne. Like Henry in the 6th, Jeremy Thompson won 2/3rds at home in Lincoln Co. but little elsewhere. Dem and partisan share maps in thread. (1/3)
On the Dem side, State Rep. Justin Pearson won almost all precincts in his 66%-24% over State Sen. London Lamar. 60% of the Dem primary votes in the district were cast in Shelby Co, next was 12% from Williamson and 4% from the tiny part of Rutherford. (2/3)
Precinct results in the TN 6th GOP primary, where State Rep. @JohnnyGarrett took the open seat 44%-30% over fmr US Rep Van Hilleary. Garrett won 14 of 17 counties; Hilleary ran strong on east side of Cookeville, Jon Henry swept his home Smith co. with 65% and came 2nd in 3 more.

Those on this platform cheering the AFD have been duped. The AFD is ragingly anti-American, aligned closely with Putin, and actively wants to sever ties with America and move Germany into Russia’s orbit. Listen to what they say, not in English, but in German.
“Ami go home,” is not a compliment.
Precinct results map where Fmr. Ag Commissioner @HatcherforTN unseated Rep. Andy Ogles in the TN 5th GOP primary, 53%-47%. Hatcher won the new part of the redistricted 5th by 8pt, and the area Ogles already represented by 2pt. Dem map in thread.
And here's the Dem primary map for the new 5th. @chazmolder won overall by 7 points but a big disparity between the retained and new parts of the district - 49pt lead in the retained part, 1pt lead in the new territory.
Here's the complete map of TN 8/6 GOP Gov. primary results by precinct from the @tnsecofstate certified data published today. See the thread for high-res link and the result by districts.
State Rep. Todd Warner ran for both his TN House seat and the 9th District GOP nod for Congress. He held the House by 4 pts - down 11 in Marshall County (62% of the district's votes) but up 30 in the Williamson part.
We had a matchup of 2 former mayors in open seat TN House Dist. 78 - Perry Keenan (fmr. Pleasant View Mayor) beat John Louallen (Pegram), 56%-44%. Keenan won by about 12 pts in both Cheatham and Dickson Cos, scoring over 60% in Pleasant View and Ashland City.
In the open seat TN House Dist. 81, Tipton Co. Commissioner Brett Giannini beat Covington official Jason Fleming, 57%-43%. Fleming won Covington and carried Haywood Co. by 17 pts, but Giannini won Tipton by 17, including 74% of the vote in his home of Atoka.
In TN House D27, Rep. Michele Reneau beat a primary challenge from attorney Tony Hullender, 58%-42%. She gained about 7 points almost evenly across the district vs. her 2024 win over then-Rep. Patsy Hazlewood, improving most in Lookout Valley and losing a bit at Flat Top Mtn.

Rare is the one who climbs to the pinnacle of fame, then scoffs at its allure, only to retain the genuine humility that defines them.
Dolly Parton was one of a kind, who loved people, her work, her family, and her Lord. Tennessee has forever been changed – enhanced – by her, and will never be quite the same without Dolly.
