the Senate is not completely lost, if Peters holds on, we need two more seats to get to 50

the races nor called yet are all Rethugs seats (except for Peters)

GA Ossoff still can pull this off and get into a run-off
GA Special (will be a runoff for sure)
ME Collins now below 50%, if she finishes below 50%, then ranked-choice voting may scupper her
NC (still not called, fingers crossed for a miracle)
AK (this is a stretch, it looks like the polls were bullshit)

Lol

Thanks for the Senate update. If Collins stays below 50, I think she loses the runoff.

One of the most competitive Senate races in the country could come down to ranked-choice voting
