NATE SILVER9:13 PM
A world with even greater urban-rural polarization, which is roughly what we’re seeing in the results so far tonight, is a tough world electorally for Democrats given how rural areas have a disproportionate amount of influence in the Senate.

think of a world when the WH flips every 8 years, the House flips every now and then, and the Senate keeps a solid 60-40 ish GOP majority.


This could be a problem for the Dems going forward.

70% in, Beto up by about 2%

[baseline bum]

Beto up 2.1 points with 70% in. Maybe he only loses by 3?

[DMC]

If Trumpnwins House and Senate your life will be different niga

How?

That's because Harris just reported:

• Harris 15.6% In

O'Rourke (D)	479,138	57%
Cruz (R)	356,454	42.4%

[Millennial_Messiah]

It's funny how amped up people get over mid terms as if any of it makes your life different.

If you're gay, then the Senate majority in 2006-2014 was a huge deal because otherwise, no Sotomayor and no Kagan, and no gay marriage.

I'm not Gay. If you're socialist, Bernie... just sayin'.

[spurraider21]

he had to do better in harris than that... needed to get closer to 65% tbh

[Millennial_Messiah]

How?

like I said, if you're gay, no gay marriage in 2015 even though the senate had just flipped by then

[Isitjustme?]

Wheres the link to the 538 live house thing?

[NASpurs]

Any metro areas left or just towns?

I don't think Corpus Christi (Nueces county) votes are in yet either.

How does that affect my life?

Harris only had like 15% reporting as per that chart.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I don't think Corpus Christi (Nueces county) votes are in yet either.

but that one is like close to 50-50 historically in spite of the large Hispanic population.

[ducks]

Cruz will win Texas

[NASpurs]

Beto is up .4% now

candidate	%	votes
O'Rourke	49.9%	2,729,594
Cruz	49.5%	2,705,385

Harris County still stuck at 16%

[SnakeBoy]

Fox just called the House for the Democrats

Many metro areas reporting 0% (Bexar, Dallas) which means only early votes are reported. Harris had 0% and 0 votes before that update
