The lack of vote counting in AZ is incredibly annoying.

It's going to take days. Arizona always takes several days to count.

Arizona results here: https://results.arizona.vote/#/featured/4/0

Still a lot of votes to count. What is the make up of the outstanding areas?

Years of watching results have told me that Dems always gain 1-2% in AZ over the coming days.

Not sure how I feel about Nevada just giving us 100% of the county's results in one big shot. I prefer to slowly sip of my results as they come in, like a cocktail.

So it looks like SC-01 is going Dem. Would Mark Sanford have won?

[Panda Express]

The GOP bloodbath in Colorado was beautiful. Besides Coffman losing and the Polis winning Governor, the Republican incumbents State Treasurer and Sec of State lost and R held Attorney General went Dem.

GOP bench wiped out tonight.

Scott Walker losing is the scalp of the night for sure

Scott Walker losing is the scalp of the night for sure

No! KKKobach for sure. Not surewhy that race isn't getting much attention

Scott Walker has been a villain for us since 2010 including besting us 3 times previously.

MacArthur going down is one of the top scalps of this election. He was the architect of the Obamacare repeal bill. Few deserve to go down more than him.

Another good thing is that we have a decent-sized majority without those annoying Blue Dogs. Ordinary progressives were able to win, or be competitive, in many districts across the country.

*One week ago*

 Karen Handel: Whew, that was a close election I squeaked out against Ossof last year. But I'm finally getting into the groove of this whole "Representative" thing. I've just put down a lease on a place here in DC for me and my family to live, I'm making friends and connections and I've found this nice little coffee shop. DC is starting to feel like home! I sure hope nothing happens that forces me to move back to Atlanta - I just forwarded all my subscriptions here!

Anyone who has watched Arizona before knows that McSally is basically done for once the rest comes in.

[Panda Express]

I've not been following Florida at all (been trying to stay off of politics for a while). Can someone ELI5 what's going on?

Rick Scott is trying to steal the election but those of us on Atlas Forum are foiling him

[Panda Express]

I'd say there's a 90 percent chance Scott will win. The margin is just too large.

Yeah, we're looking at 90% Scott victory and 90% Sinema victory

[Panda Express]

Since Sinema is going to be the first bisexual senator, she's going to have the most credibility to answer the question "Who is the most attractive Senator"?

STFU about “buckets.” At least use the word “batch” so I don’t cringe.

Soon we’ll be getting that fabled Maricopa bucket of votes that is so Republican to an extent never seen before by mankind
