Knew we were ed when Pelosi started talking about how it wasn't whether the Democrats would win the house, but by how much. ing 2016 all over again.

[baseline bum]

Yeah I'm shocked tbh

They just updated, 100% chance someone will say called that on ST.

In the Virginia 7th, it’s an incredibly tight race between Republican Rep. Dave Brat and Democrat Abigail Spanberger. The Virginia Department of Elections has Brat up by about 2 points, but almost all the outstanding vote is in Chesterfield County, a major suburban county outside of Richmond. That part of the county went for Democrat Ralph Northam by about 3 points in the 2017 gubernatorial race (which he won), so how it votes will be decisive.

question is, is it an odd number or an even number

8:27 PMYou may have noticed that our real-time forecast has moved toward Republicans in the House. It’s being too aggressive, in my opinion. The model sees that a bunch of “likely Republican” districts (particularly in Florida) are now 100 percent likely to go red. But there hasn’t been the chance for Democrats to clinch many equivalent likely Democratic districts.

KRISTEN SOLTIS ANDERSON8:33 PM
Per preliminary exit polls: Young voters (18 to 29) are breaking for Democrats by a massive 37-point margin. This is vastly larger than the 21-point margin by which Hillary Clinton won them 2016 and even outpaces the 22-point margin Democrats won young voters by in the huge “blue wave” of the 2006 midterms.

Beto 53, Beta 46 with 46% reporting

Stop me if you’ve heard this before — Florida is looking really really close. With 72 percent of precincts reporting, DeSantis leads Gillum 49.7 percent to 49.1 percent. In the Senate race, Rick Scott leads Bill Nelson 50.1 percent to 49.9 percent.

It’s looking like Florida could restore voting rights for most convicted felons, according to The New York Times. With 66 percent of precincts reporting, Amendment 4 has 64 percent of the vote.

Beto 53, Beta 46 with 46% reporting

perhaps they're all city/border, but that's unlikely to hold

I remember Hillary leading by a similar margin with about that much reporting in Texas in 2016

Yeah I'd be absolutely floored to see Beto win

[johnsmith]

I’m hoping Beto wins so in a couple years I can prove my theory that it doesn’t ing matter, we will all get ed in the end and a few folks will get very rich.

Impossible. RandomGuy has put in so much work canvassing he doesn’t have time to post here anymore.

PERRY BACON JR.8:43 PM
There are still votes left in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, which are very Democratic. But Gillum and Nelson are both down by about 1 percent, with more than 90 percent of the vote in. Gillum was consistently ahead of DeSantis in polls, while Nelson-Scott was expected to be very close. But the results right now suggest that Republicans may win both of those races.
