corn in the bible posted: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 She's Thad Cochran's replacement. She's only been in there for a few months. That's not much of an incumbency advantage, which has weakened over time anyway.

So there's some highly unlikely but non-zero chance Senate control can come down to a run-off? Imagine the money that would get poured into that.

The funny thing is not only is not everything counted in WA, WA has mail in where it just needs to be POSTMARKED on election day. There are probably a few straggling ballots that haven't even been RECIEVED yet.

corn in the bible posted:the reason there's a runoff in MS is that the democrat got 40% and two republicans split 60% between them. it is theoretically possible to make up that gap but uh... doesn't see too likely Yup, I don't see how MS goes blue unless something extremely Roy Moore-level major comes out.  out loud holy poo pooI really hope that skeletor looking motherfucker loses the recount, then gets found guilty of lots of crimes for poo poo like this, and then all his skin sloughs off and he's left looking like Red Skull for the rest of his long life in maximum security

Not this time round but yeah, in theory that could happen, I don't know which other states have a runoff but it's possible. Dapper_Swindler posted:wouldnt it be a stalemate? 50=50? How big a deal it would be would differ between the two parties and who holds the White House. If getting to 50 means you can get your VP in to break the ties then you want that more than almost anything else in politics; if it 'just' means you can force the other guys to send the VP to the Senate for every tie you still want it a lot (Because if nothing else, anyone who dies or whatever means you've got a shot at taking control) but it's not the same immensely pressing factor.

Sanguinia posted:It's taking literally every ounce of my self-control not to hope for Florida given that the gap has closed to hand recount and now Scott took a dump on national television. I swear is ANYONE starts talking positively about Mississippi I'm going to slap their poo poo. Well, you know, it does have a large Af-AM minority population and lower turnout run offs mean voter enthusiasm can sway things.... More seriously though, Mississippi is a fun case because it isn't getting more Republican. The Republican party already dominated Mississippi white votes so the shift that turned Tennessee, Kentucky and up into the midwest much redder happened much earlier in Mississippi, so Trump received fewer votes in Mississippi than Romney did. He did slightly better in percentage terms, as Clinton did worse than Obama, but the highest Republican vote total for a president in Mississippi actually belongs to John McCain. I'm not saying Mississippi will flip, its got a long sordid history of racist leadership on top of the economic issues, but its closer to being contestable than a lot of the whiter states in the south.

Dapper_Swindler posted:wouldnt it be a stalemate? 50=50? It would, but it would not be seen as anything short of a catastrophic defeat for the R's to go from +3 to -1. Even the big news networks wouldn't be able to help themselves from trumpeting Trump's humiliation considering 1) he declared what a giant victory he'd won in the midterms with his senate gains and 2) the loss would come from loving MISSISSIPPI. But that won't happen sadly. No chance in hell MS will flip. I would take a miracle beyond a miracle, like every chud staying home in protest of their Crazy Candidate getting screwed by the RINO incumbent or something.

I mean, if we're fanficcing MS sending a Democrat to the Senate, why not cap it off with Murkowski changing parties like Gov. Fuckface did in WV and handing us the majority? That'd be a season finale people would talk about for the next 50 years.

The unlikely scenario is Florida flipping which would put control at 51-48, pending a special election in Mississippi that is almost guaranteed to go R. Still matters, though. A smaller majority makes it harder to pass bills and makes 2020 easier for Democrats.
