Yeah I'd be absolutely floored to see Beto win

I will say though, IF it does happen, the Dems will win the House by 30+.

Senate already locked up and it's 8pm

Trump and Kavanaughty are probably on their 2nd keg

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.

& by 2012 I was pretty sold that Florida would be a blue state for life because of the rapidly rising Hispanic population. Sort of like the next California.

Beto's lead is down to 51-48 with 50% reporting according to CBS

Remember, Trump doesn't drink.

No surprise. Hillary was winning by about 5 points with 50% reporting in 2016. Texas poll reporting tends to go cities-outward.

Republicans picking up another toss-up. I think they'll keep the house.

[CitizenDwayne]

This is all very disheartening

Joe Donnelly’s loss in Indiana is a critical win for the GOP because it significantly narrows the path for Democrats in the Senate. What’s more, Donnelly’s loss might augur poorly for Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota.

The House forecast ticked a little bit back up toward Democrats after that Shalala call. Still, it was fairly low-hanging fruit. The Democrats haven’t won a really tough race yet. The good news for them is that they haven’t lost too many toss-ups either, except the Kentucky 6th, which some networks have called.

[Mitch]

So much for that impeachment platform

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.

You think that'd be a win for Democrats?

538 now giving 54.8 chance for dems to take the house

i mean at some point it just seems like they're throwing at the wall

Heitkamp was always going to lose. Part of that blue wave in 2006 in a Ruby-red state and then re-ran in an Obama re-election year. She's always been toast.


McCaskill was part of the same blue wave, but she's a moderate. So who knows.

Ron DeSantis is up by 87,000 votes in the gubernatorial race, and Rick Scott is ahead by 64,000 in the Senate race with more than 95 percent of the vote in. The GOP could be notching huge wins in this state, solidifying their majority in the Senate and securing a big win by defeating Andrew Gillum in the race for the governor’s mansion. Florida is not called yet, but it’s looking hard for either Nelson or Gillum to win.

It would be a win for morality tbh. Heck Im an atheist and one of the few things I respect about Christians is their willingness in a lot of cases to forgive and give second chances

Shalala was always supposed to win as per RCP forecast. Was "safe Dem"

To be fair, Houston and El Paso votes aren't in yet.
