NC, Maine senate races hasn’t been called but if we get those two we will win a slim majority. I’m having my doubts on both.

NC and ME have not been called yet but we are behind in both right now.

There will be a runoff in GA for the special but that will be an uphill fight.

Also we have to keep MI that is down to the wire.

and they are heavily blue. These are not just votes for Joe and Kamala, they also include ALL the down-ballot races such as Senate, House, state, and local.

Just keep watching the votes trickle in, which are heavily in our favor, for ALL Ds!

But we lost Doug Jones, as expected. On the other hand, while Susan Collins is claiming victory, there are uncounted ballots. At least one of GA’s two elections will go to runoff. Lots of uncounted ballots there as well. Hope this is up to date.

It's not like there's a huge population there.

MI (Peters should hold on)

so we are at 48

then 5 possible flips

1 ME Collins still can lose, IF we hold her under 50% and thus forced ranked choice voting to kick in for Gideon
2 NC, still not called for Tillis, a long shot though, Cunningham fucked up with the sex scandal, grrrr
3 Ga Regular, Ossoff still can force a runoff, thus it maybe be a coin toss
4 GA special, runoff for sure but Warnock probably loses to Loeffler
5 AK, long shot, Gross, the indy, probably goes down to Sullivan


IF Peters holds

then Collins losing and Ossoff winning gets us to 50-50

gutted that we lost Iowa and Montana

plus IF we do lose them, Maine and NC and GA regular


I had us ending up at 53 (with Jones being the only Dem loss for a negative flip)

I had us winning

AZ (we did)
CO (we did)
IA (we lost)
MT (we lost)
ME (we have a decent shot still
NC ( we probably will lose this)
GA Regular (hoping for a runoff, which may be for control of the Senate, IF Collins losses)

Gonna be close. If Peters can rebound in MI and say we pick up one more, like NC, they still retain a 51 seat majority. The GA runoff will be a wildcard as well.
