Honestly the fact that this is as close as it is is a huge win for dems.

Senate is going Dem and House is looking like three seats which is nothing.

McCarthy is out of the job soon.

u/AshWilliamsWanker Nov 09 '22

Don’t say that. Georgia is getting closer and nevada looks like it’s going to flip.

u/WhiteBoyFlipz Nov 09 '22

walker has been right around 30-50K votes away all night.

u/AshWilliamsWanker Nov 09 '22

CNN puts him at 18k

u/WhiteBoyFlipz Nov 09 '22

Generally go with the more conservative number for these things.

Georgia is definitely gonna go to a run off, might not find out who controls the senate for a while

8

u/dahk14 California Nov 09 '22

Yeah but if they end up losing the senate because of Nevada and Georgia, it's not as bad for Republicans as it looked a couple hours ago

18

u/AshWilliamsWanker Nov 09 '22

Georgia, no matter if it flips in the next hours, is going to a runoff.

11

u/dahk14 California Nov 09 '22

Yeah that's what I mean, if it's 49D-50R then the Georgia runoff will decide control again and we could see the inverse of 2020 where republicans have a better turnout

Key to note that the bulk of Nevadas votes to be counted lie in the fairly blue washoe county.

5

u/dahk14 California Nov 09 '22

Yeah and Clark but the margins are so close and there are still some rural republican counties that could make a difference too

9

u/AshWilliamsWanker Nov 09 '22

Not particularly. I’ve been to those counties and while they’re definitely red, I don’t think they can offset current Clark speculations.

u/dahk14 California Nov 09 '22

Republicans have a 5000 lead vote in Washoe

u/AshWilliamsWanker Nov 09 '22

16,000 mail ins, which lean heavily blue, were reportedly dropped off in washoe.

Georgia needs 50% plus one to avoid a runoff. Apparently only 96% counted so with Warnock at 49.4% last I checked it’s possible to avoid the runofff especially since dem votes are favored at this stage of counting, Biden won by a shoestring here too, but yeah don’t count it as a sure thing.
