Ryusei the Morning Star Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yea, the Dems take the house A number of those dems said they won't back Pelosi for speaker tho, so this should be interesting McSally Takes the lead, FL in 99.9% and GOP had 100K margin, call it GOP could end up with a 55/56 seat senate which should be used to ram in all those Judges Looking like a purple wave tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Having a hard time wrapping my mind around what is happening to McCaskill in rural MO she's running 40+ points behind her 2012 showing. GOP will likely flip MO senate tooPurple Wave? More like a Reallignment.Maybe, but the question about those Trump +0-5 seats that the dem pick up this time. Are those staying blue?

Nathanael D. Striker Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Oregon's results are pretty anti-climatic. Kate Brown leads the Governor's race, the US Congressional Delegation remains the same, and Measure 102 passes while Measures 103-106 fails. EDIT: Kate Brown wins.

Atypical-Abbie Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Pretty interesting to see this as a non-US person, as I was assuming that Republicans would take the house, what I didn't expect was that they took senate, but not house as well. I don't really know what that means, it's interesting regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Assume all 22,000 provisional ballots are confirmed and counted. Add those to the 3000 votes left to be counted and assume Abrams receives 100% of those 25,000 votes - Kemp still has over 50% of the vote.
