Voters made it official Thursday.

Always hoping the Democrat wins, but in this particular case, I'm also REALLY HOPING the repuKKKe loses. She is such an empti-headed buffoon. I just can't see her puss up there as a Senator. How disgraceful is that. But then again...there is dRumpf as preznit, so anything is possible, right?
