...those NYT estimates were usually very BEARISH on our chances throughout the night in various races (I was following several). Of the important races I was following -- and there were many, I probably had about eight or nine open tabs at one point -- almost all of them were predicting the Democrat to do worse than they ended up doing. So, if NYT is predicting us to win those, that's a good sign at this point.

It will be close, especially in NV, but based on the news of what votes are still outstanding etc., I haven't seen any news to indicate that we are headed for a loss in either race. I would say we are in a good position in both, but obviously that could change as the news changes (e.g., how many dropped off ballots in Clark County, NV are there?). I haven't seen news that has me worrying about either race just yet.

As McCaskill pointed out last night, Georgians didn't want to vote for Walker; some voted for the Libertarian, some left the race blank, etc. In a runoff, odds are you aren't going to see those types turn out for Walker, ESPECIALLY if Senate control is already off the table. So, we just need to be sure not to be complacent, work on our GOTV efforts like we did the last time we were in this runoff position, and push our advantage and elect this very good man and very good Democrat, Raphael Warnock, to six more years in the Senate!

Sorry, I had to, but seriously, everything I’ve heard has been positive. For example, rural turnout is down in a runoff.

Democrats will be equally, if not more, motivated to come out and vote in the runoff.

Should have some significant numbers come in from AZ tonight, as the state reports in tranches, usually in the evening (local time).

NV I think is leaning R but not convincingly.

JMHO on both but AZ is a virtual lock. Based on the outstanding ballots, NV looks excellent, as in 90-95% probability.

How many ballots of that 20% are there? It's the only Blue county remaining, according to the NYT at least.

Scroll down to where it says "Where votes have been reported and where votes remain," and hover your mouse over the map.

Sisolak will probably lose to Lombardo because he shut down the strip(he did the right thing IMHO) which hurt our economy & he is involved in a few scandals like this one https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/nevada/articles/2022-11-04/ex-nevada-prisons-chief-gov-wanted-escape-reports-changed
I'm holding out hope that Laxalt & Marchant won't get elected, but those races aren't going well either

CCM w hold her position, i'm confident of it given the # votes still to be counted as reported.

The last I heard, Ralston still felt Cortez Masto would win.

I made calls for GA for the runoffs in 2021. I think it's going to be even better for Warnock this time. Last time Warnock was behind the Republican at the end of the first voting. This time he almost won straight out.

People in GA were very eager to vote for the two Dems in the runoff. I think they'll be even more motivated this time. I predict, with no real certainty, that we end up with 51 Senate seats. And lots of McConnell tears.

and put Warnock over again. We've been here before and everything is at stake. He has to win.
