Nevada Republican incumbent Sen. Dean Heller’s attempt to gin up his base Monday appeared to backfire when a text message he sent to supporters claiming Democratic challenger Jacky Rosen was already beating him at the polls was skewered on social media.

“Our data says Jacky Rosen is winning the US Senate race by 73 votes,” the text stated. “You can make the difference tomorrow. When do you plan to vote? Thank you, Dean Heller.”
