In what is one of the most amazing stories of this election, it looks like conservative Edward Durr has defeated the most powerful state senator in New Jersey, Stephen Sweeney. What makes this so stunning is Mr. Durr is a truck driver with no political history who spent $153 on his campaign and only has a Facebook page. (Watch Mr. Durr’s video below. He is us.]
Sweeney, the longest-serving senator in NJ history, is losing by 2,009 votes with 99% of the vote tallied. South Jersey is turning on Democrats.

Sweeney D-Gloucester — the 2nd-most-powerful elected state official after Murphy and a force in New Jersey politics — is on pace to lose to his relatively unknown Republican opponent Edward Durr. In a stunning twist Sweeney is trailing Durr by about 2,000 votes as of Weds morning pic.twitter.com/t3WcXvI3Ye

Sweeney’s defeat would cause a total realignment of politics in New Jersey, and most immediately creates a wide-open race for Senate President.
Democrats lost bids to flip two GOP Senate seats and appear to have lost two or three more, something that could reduce their majority from 25-15 to 22-18.
Republicans won two other hugely competitive Senate races in South Jersey.
This is the Revolution. A paradigm shift back to the Constitution through the ballot box, not the ammo box. Democrats are running scared right now while they scratch their heads. The don’t what went wrong for them. We do!
That is stunning, and not yet national news, nothing about it here in Chicago.
This indicates a powerful backlash against democrats.
The Commiecrats are printing up extra ballets right now to ensure Comrade Murphy wins. This is going to court big time.
Yeah, there is something stinky going on in NJ GOV race with the ballots !!!! why is it taking so long to count them, Bergen County, NJ reported 219,894 votes last night at midnight – 100% reporting, with 52% for @Jack4NJ. This morning Bergen County has 261,528 votes (40k more votes) and now shows @GovMurphy as the declared winner of that county.!!!!!!!!!!!
