 at all the chuds on Twitter crying voter fraud at...all the votes being counted.my bony fealty posted:For the nth time if you got upset like an hour after the first polls closed, while like 90% of the races Dems needed to pickup were still open, it is not Nate Silver's fault  idiots here were intentionally trying to provoke them. But yeah, the chances going from 95% to 40% within half an hour when the only called races were Dem flips should have been a sign that something was off with the live model.

Majorian posted:Then pressure the Democratic leadership to start fostering a better batch of younger candidates. Get people like Pelosi and Schumer to step down, so that younger, more progressive Dems can build their profile. As it stands, most of the younger ones that may run in 2020 are not very good. speaker Pelosi with younger Good Dem majority leader and/or whip is what I'm hoping for an ancient ruthless monster is tbh a pretty handy asset in the House right now

Mind_Taker posted:Rick Scott and Marco Rubio getting this shook is EXTREMELY pleasing to me. Maybe they know they are about to hear some bad news. One thing I've read is that there is a very large discrepancy between the number of Gov votes in Broward and the number of Senate votes. Either an incredibly unusual and out of trend number of voters left the Senate part blank, the machines hosed up and just straight up miscounted, or people systematically marked the ballot in a way that the machines aren't looking for. Both of the latter two could be enough to swing things in a hand recount.

Shifty Pony posted:Fine. You want the truth? We’re bad at this by design. The republicans have acknowledge pulically that if more people vote they’d lose their elections. So making votes harder to count or easier to be misplaced (typically in a way that heavily favors early and absentee ballots since those are usually heavily democrat voters) is just one more tool of voter suppression

Butterfly ballot all over again.

Based on the Broward ballot someone posted earlier I wouldn't be surprised if they just left it blank. The selection of senator was in the bottom-left corner jammed between the voting instructions and an incumbent-only race.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:I think I've missed something. I know it was at +3-4, and expected Arizona to flip to make it +2-3, but what else flipped to make it 1-2? Is that referring to Montana results coming in earlier today? Some people were real worried about MT and saying we could lose it, though some of us were more confident. At any rate, It's currently 51-46 with three to go; Arizona, Florida, and Mississippi. So it could theoretically be anywhere from 51-49 to 54-46 in favor of the GOP. AZ is looking increasingly Sinema-leaning tonight, whilst Mississippi's special election has gnoe to a runoff and will be decided in a couple of weeks IIRC, but I don't see that going Dem. Florida's going to a hand recount because it's that close, probably still going with Rick "They're trying to steal my seat by counting all the ballots!" Scott, but hope springs eternal. I guess it depends on how many ballots that Scott tried to suppress come to light and get counted. So my money is on 53-47, winning AZ but losing the other two yet to be settled; whether you count that as being +2-3 or +1-2 is an exercise I leave to your own discretion.

I suppose it is possible that republican whats her name from Mississippi will suddenly turn out to be a sex monster but seeing as she's an incumbent and afaik free of major scandal she'll probably win the runoff just fine
