So Maine went for Biden but re-elected Collins????

[TNNurse]

There is a very strange disconnect there.

[Docreed2003]

1. I find the same head scratching over NC

Cooper wins re-election but Trump leads in presidential count. People are bizarre

[JI7]

3. People seem to consider competence more when it comes to voting for Governor or even Mayor

I don't think a lot of people that vote for Trump for President would do so if he was running for Governor of their state.

18. Cooper was running against a God awful candidate

and has sky high approval numbers. Remember he won last time with Trump on the ballot as well. He was always going to out perform Biden but sadly even his polls were inflated (he was up by double digits and will win by about 5). I only thought Biden would win here because I thought Cooper would win by 10 and Biden would win by low single digits. Since Cooper only won by 5, Biden's under performance relative to Cooper was just too much to win it. It hasn't been called yet but if Biden pulls it out, it would be a miracle.

2. Wasn't it a three-way race for the US Senate?

That probably was a factor.

5. Collins topped 50...?

How did so many repubs, including collins, get more than 59 percent with unfavourable numbers well over 50.

How do you say, she sucks, but I'll vote for her anyway (see Mitch, Lindsay, etc).

[sweetloukillbot]

9. She hadn't broke 50 as of an hour ago, and was trending down

I think it's going to ranked choice second pass.

[HiltonHeadDem]

4. She hasn't been re-elected yet...Rank Choice Voting

[Jamesyu]

6. I don't think both races have been called yet

Maine Susan Collins just got under 50% and rank choice voting will kick in.

[sunonmars]

7. Maine only 68% in, lots of votes in portland still not in yet and she only up 33K

[janterry]

8. this gives me some hope

of all the people I want to go down, Collins is top of my list

[PubliusEnigma]

10. For some reason, the Presidential count is way ahead of the Senate count there.

Almost by the same margin as Collins leads by. Strange.

Her chicken's not hatched yet.

[wendyb-NC]

11. That made no sense at all to me, when I saw she'd won

Same with Sen. Ernst. Weird. Maybe some people just vote for President and ignore the other races.

[2naSalit]

12. I find it interesting in that all of the dirtiest...

and evil enablers suddenly pulled off a win when polling indicated otherwise. All of them, and why was mitch just sitting there laughing when his opponent called him out? Because he knew that the fix was in. It's not like the Senate wasn't part of putin's plans. I smell something stinky.

[Alliepoo]

13. I'm with ya.

[llmart]

14. I agree with your last sentence.

Also, I thought it strange that the Dump put a wall around the White House. That made me think he knew something that we didn't and he was afraid of what might happen to him if he "won".

I'm sort of tired already of all the blame being targeted at the pollsters.

[2naSalit]

16. Indeed.

This is what they did in '16, they didn't do anything about the manipulation and they blew it off and the media helped. I wonder if we can save ourselves. Montana is going to be extracted of most of it's trees, coal and gas, the ecosystem is teetering already and when it crashes, it will be felt by two thirds of the US continental states.

[llmart]

19. I can't argue with you there because I agree with this.

Most Americans don't want to believe that our votes can be tampered with. Oh, they're willing to believe that there was social media "influence" or some other nonsense, but not to believe that our elections can be rigged in some way.

There are too many things that don't add up to me. I am not saying that we don't have plenty of gullible and ignorant people in our country because do as far as I'm concerned. But that's not the answer.

Personally, I'm just glad I'm old because I don't have to be around to see it get worse. I have been an advocate for the environment my whole life and the way I feel right now is that if the younger generations don't value it, they will have to live with it, not me.

15. Decision desk has her above 50%

And 55k votes, even if she drops below 50% I think she’ll pick up enough second choice vote to win. It sucks, but I hope now on GA and AK maybe NC.

[TNNurse]

17. She should have gone down dramatically.
