    Best results when GOP controls at least one chamber of Congress.

    Worst results when Dems control both.

      I’m not sure, I’ll wait for more evidence to come in.

      Education is extremely important.

        I wonder if Boebert’s husband needs to vote absentee. After all, he’s not allowed within 500ft of a school.

            AZ called for Kelly.

            Masto favored in NV

            Looks like the Dems keep the Senate.

              Nevada has been called for Masto.
              The Dems have reached the 50 seat threshold.

                  After Maricopa, why not?

                    The Chair of the Maricopa Board of Supervisors, a lifelong Republican, had this to say:

                    "Over the past couple of decades, on average it takes 10 to 12 days to complete the count. That's not because of anything Maricopa County has decided to do, that's because of how Arizona law is set up. And that's what we do here at Maricopa County, we follow the law to make sure that the count is accurate."

                      I don't think it is at all difficult to suss out. The election was a referendum on Trump, et al. People were ready for a change, but we did not offer one they wanted.

                        I agree with Mitch McConnell that there were some weak candidates. I think the challenge is that it seems like the weirdest of both parties get elected. Some have suggested that gerrymandering is responsible for that. I'm not sure if it is that or having to whore for dollars - but there are frightfully few candidates that even appear to warrant positive excitement. It is more voting against an even bigger fool.

                                        Whoever screams the loudest is going to feel like they won.

                                        Nobody seems to have a shred of evidence for or against the integrity of the vote.

                                        That is just wrong. There are audit procedures that could be followed that would present compelling evidence either way.
