TOO CLOSE TO CALL!!!
One Senate and 11 House races remain undecided today.
The Arizona Senate race remains too close to call. Rep. Martha McSally (R) leads Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D) by 17,073 votes. 650,000 votes have yet to be counted -- including 80,000 to 100,000 in blue-leaning Pima County and 500,000 (!) in Maricopa County (some parts red, some blue).
As of today: Dems picked up 30 seats in the House. Watch for another six to eight seats to add to the Democratic total. That would bring the Democrats right up to the 35-seat gain which was predicted prior to the election.
- Five California seats are outstanding. Mail-in ballots are not due until today, and will be determinative. Expect at least one, and possibly four more Dem seats there. There might even be a fifth!
- In Maine, no one has gotten a majority. They used ranked voting there now, and no one knows how that will turn out or how long it will take to determine.
- A Dem leads in the Utah 4th, but there are 50,000 mail ballots to hand-count. This could go either way.
- In Washington 8th, Dem leads perennial GOP loser Dino Rossi. Almost all votes are by mail in that state, and counting will take up to two weeks!
- The GOP leads in the NJ 3rd and NC 9th, but absentee, mail, and provisional ballots need counting. Provisionals have two weeks to make good.
- In Minnesota 1st, it leans red, but is headed for a recount.
