I'm a pollworker at my local precinct and the line has been steady for the entire 3 hours we've been open.

Where do you live in Michigan?

AP has called MI-SEN for Debbie Stabenow.

With Tester's survival, Dem House pickups in CA, WA, UT, and AZ, Wacky Jacky's defeat of UTDH, Nevada's having a Dem trifecta (not to mention a unanimous hold on the row offices!) and a nearly unanimous congressional delegation, and the very likely possibility of a Senator Sinema, I'd HATE to be a Republican west of the Great Plains right now.

Did Barbara Cegavske lose? NYT still has her up under 1pt with 99% in.

Sadly her Democratic opponent conceded. That's the only statewide office Democrats lost, which is too bad because if he had won, 2018 in Nevada would have done a complete 180 from 2014.

The final returns have changed the result in NM-2. Xochitl Torres Small is now the winner and Dems have all three seats in New Mexico.

Any idea as to how UT-04 will end up?  That one looks like it might be a nail biter in the end.

There is 30% of the vote outstanding and McAdams leads 51.3%-48.7%, just a hair over 5,000 votes. The Salt Lake Tribune just put out an article an hour ago saying Love still has a narrow path, but that it's highly unlikely.

Can I get a link to the results you're looking at? NYT has McSally up by 17,000 with 7 precincts yet to report.

Any idea what time the next dump from Arizona will be?

[Bojack Horseman]

Hobbs ahead by 150 votes, Sinema up 32,640.

This race is callable Imo.

What does the Arizona SoS do? How significant is it if she wins?

Arizona has no lieutenant governor, so if Ducey were to run for the Senate in 2020, he'd be turning the governor over to the Secretary of State.
