    Laxalt's lead is down to 800 now with 40,000 votes left to count in Clark and Washoe Counties and 3,000 from the rurals.

    Cortez-Masto will win comfortably giving the Dems 50 seats.

    Hopefully that isn’t at the cost of Warnock’s seat in the runoff. We can’t have idiots like Walker running our country.

    It is rather interesting that as these very close races drag out for days, the vote always seems to shift Democratic. That could easily be a product of urban centers hand-counting ballots. In any case, GOP operatives are going to have to begin adjusting to this dynamic. Lot of missed calls and polling heading into this election. But at the very least, they’re going to have to start assuming a 2 to 3 percent bump in these states that take multiple days to finish counting. GOP and a lot of media have been missing this the past two elections.

    Can't Biden just veto lousy bills? Keeping the Senate is HUGE. Maybe nothing horrible will get past the House. Setting up for a 'lame duck' congress.

    This gives the Dems the power to appoint any USSC in the next 2 years should the need arise. Massive. Some of them are no spring chickens.

    as well as fill a ton of lower court positions, particularly important if faith in the Supreme Court continues to erode

    At this point, are the GOP even going to take the House? Most of the uncalled races are in blue states and these prolonged counts almost always trend Democrat.

    biden has a 40 percent approval rating, inflation through the roof, market down 20 percent, the Republicans short have cleaned up. It was bad candidates that stopped it.
    I am actually encouraged by this election, maybe the MAGA zealots will finally get on board with nominating rational people and we can get back to a real democracy and not a cult of personality that refuses to accept losses and years down vital institutions in the process.
