This is huge. Add +2 to the final GOP gains now that Flake and Corker are replaced by Trump allies.

 

 

They were all bark and no bite.  They voted the Republican line the whole time he was in office.

I'm more concerned with Governorship.  What's the breakdown there?

 

Looks like +4 for Dems so far and could get worse, but GOP holds some big ones.

 

IA too close to call, but turning back to Rep late;  only farmers in the sticks left to count.

Walker still behind in WI;  would be great to hold on to that one but he's running out of time.

It's going to be a small majority - if that. Again, California (right now) is looking surprising (from what I'm hearing/seeing). 

 

Can't imagine what surprises you'll find here. Maybe they repeal the gas tax, but I can't imagine much else.

Yup - but it's really early. It's still way closer than the Newsome people expected (they already declared victory basically). 

 

 

I heard CBS radio basically calling it at 7pm.

I think I voted 'no' on everything.  The propositions in this state are madness.

 

Prop 12....every chicken must have paid sick leave!!

House Score

r: 155

d:155

(125 left)

+19 Dem flip - projected +23 (need +23), GOP flipped 2 so far.

 

Senate: +2 (really +4) GOP flip 

 

Of the "called" how many will be contested within the margin?

 

I appologize, I'm not home, and not in the proper environment for "phone study".  I'm traveling at the moment.

No apologies needed. I'm not sure, I haven't looked at the individual races that closely expect some of the earlier ones. 

 

It looks like it's going to be at least a +3 majority - probably closer to +8.

I love how they have a proposition to repeal the gas tax turns into "Vote No To Keep Our Roads Safe!"

 

You need a lawyer to make sure you're reading them correctly. It's embarrassing.

The best was two years ago when they had competing props over plastic bags.   I don't really give a ***** if I have to pay 10 cents now for a bag, but can't you just have one prop that says "Plastic bags, Yes or No?"   :lol:

 

Last time there were good ones like legal pot and no condoms for porn stars.  This year's was nothing but money grabs.

+3 would mean the Ds underperformed. A +8 would be the bare minimum normal pickup for the party not in power (on year 2 of the opposing party's presidency).

 

i wonder how the dems will play this? It is far from an "impeach Trump" mandate.

Theyll play it as an Antifa mandate.

I don't know how Walker doesn't crush everyone in Wisconsin. The state is doing so well in terms of employment and growth. Yet he struggles every election.

 

Public sector unions , and the bases they create within a state.  It's a ridiculous amount of low level corruption.

Yeah.  The problem may have been Hillary Clinton there Ben.

 

It's almost as if the more likeable candidate has an advantage in elections!

 

More Gov races:   Rep somehow winning in CA wanna be CT.  Kemp holding above 50% runoff threshold with 94% in.

So now the "official" projection ceiling is capped at +3

 

 

Several races which were called early are still being looked at. The majority looks to be slim - if it holds.

 

 

House Score

r: 178

d:195

(62 left)

+26 Dem flip - official control 

- projected +3 majority
