So I get that 2 GA senators will be picked Jan. 5th on a run off.

But who are the other 2 senators that we still don't know who won? They keep saying its 48-48.

And where are these house seats that are still not known?

So some googling seems to say one of the other Senate races is tom Tillis V Cunningham in NC.

IDK the other one. Tillis seems.up but too close to call.

The other one is Alaska. The Republican will win easily but Alaska has only counted 47%. This is the same reason its electoral votes haven't been projected to Trump.

This has a pretty comprehensive list for house races.

D218
R200

218 is majority so at the very least the D's hold majority.

Ty. Finally some evidence the election was corrupt and stolen. The mismatch between state races and Trump's support clearly indicates the GOP stole votes at state level.

Jergul, Likley. We should demand a recount and audit immediately.

I know the Republican party of TX pulled some grimey shit by trying to ban Libertarians from a bunch of positions. Keep in mind that TX is a ppace where Libertarians likley have more support than other states.

Im not sure they were successful in the end or not.

Its actually quite the opposite. Ballots for Biden with no down-ballot votes are the suspect ones.

You can assume whatever you want, but in the end, there is no giant conspiracy to steal the election and you're a retard. The only question left is once all the litigation shows that, will you accept it? My guess is no.

"You can assume whatever you want, but in the end, there is no giant conspiracy to steal the election"

Jergul has stated otherwise. Therefore, your comments apply to him.

"Ballots for Biden with no down-ballot votes are the suspect ones."

- self-evidently tons of people who don't normally vote did for this one

- & almost certainly reason was to vote for or against the orange blob appearing in the news daily w/ his craziness

- they haven't cared about other races in the past (given they didn't vote), so no reason they'd start now & only voted on the race that brought them out

not suspicious


even i didn't know shit about the down ballot people... just googled [their name + scandal] & [their name + Trump] (anyone saying/doing anything pro-Trump was definitely out)

D 196,670

So the House has several races that are virtually tied, i think like 4 races.Ive seen arebseperated by less than 200 votes.

Wed Nov 11 09:43:22
So updated numbers estimate

205 R
218 D

12 unknown.

Now they list only 5 " hot races" all 5 currently favor Republicans.They all seem fairly close and some have as little as 70% reporting so that doesnt mean likley* R, just currently ahead.

IF it turns out 217/218 that woyld be insane.
habebe
Member
Wed Nov 11 09:47:26
I should point out for context the only reason Rs seem to be doing well is because of perception that the Dems would expand there already 30 some seat lead. Every seat is up for election so if anything the Dems still took the majority of seats.

Republicans will gerrymander themselves a majority. It will be up to Biden to hold the presidency for the next 8 years and limit the damage because nothing is getting done :/

Some anecdotes about the House:

(1) Two Korean republican women likely* elected in Southern CA....eventual result of 90s era roof Koreans

*one is not yet called

(2) Jeff Van Drew, south NJ democratic turncoat, wins his seat.

(3) The only true** called Democratic flip is in the Atlanta suburbs. Along with massive shifts seen in the Presidential race it looks like the Atlanta area will be more and more important to Dems in the future.

**two flips in North Carolina appear to be due to re-districting

(4) Will Hurd's (retiring) long sought after South Texas seat kept in Repub hands, in line with Dems poor results in South Texas.

(5) Justin Amash's (retiring) seat kept in Repubs hand

Dukhat, Likley. Republicans won now 3 state legislatures and lost none.On census year that's important.

Also in 2024 Texas will have 3 new seats and Fla will have 2 more. CA will only lose 1.
habebe

Thu Nov 12 06:10:08
They are showing

202 R
228 D

But some are just not called

NY district 11 with 100% of the vote the R leads by almost 10%

NY district 22 is the same except 95% of the vote in

Iowa District 2 the R leads by 40 votes with 100% of the votes in, virtual tie, probably recount.

CA district 21 &25 lean R but still waiting on vote totals.

Alaska and N. Carolina Senate seats called for Republicans.
This leaves the 2 contested seats in Ga.
Ga. Gov. has now started a manual recount which will take some time.

3 D in the lead.

6 R in the lead.

2 even.

Dems are now projected to take 222.

Reps are looking at maybe 213, maybe less.

So the Dems have atleast a 9 seat lead out of 435.

State legislatures is where Republicans really shine. I think they have fallen amongst dominating Governerships though in the last decade.

Again nationally this was a great election for Democrats.The only reason it doesnt feel that way is because politically and numerically they were heavily favored.Almost twice as many Republican Senators were up for election.

The house has less of a numerical issue since they're all up for election , but there is incumbency.

Republicans flipped another house seat in CA by just under 900 votes.

7 seats unspoken for, mostly leaning GOP but in failed states like CA and NY who apparently hire sloths to count votes.

D-222
R-206

If we just add in the leanings

D-223
R-212

The GA Senate race is really a coin toss. Dems are raising money, but I just dont see $ making the flip either way.

However the mail in ballots and super focus on the state IMO makea it a literal coin flip.
