I want to clarify this...does he mean that turnout currently is that percentage at that hour compared to the total percentage in 2010?

I think it's being compared to the total turnout in 2010.

If this were a midterm with Hillary Clinton in the White House, could John James have pulled it out in Michigan?

Maybe, actually, but Michigan has produced weird midterm results in the past, like voting for Peters by a landslide in an open race in 2014.

Why did so many states take forever to count their votes? Maine has only counted 85% of their votes. Nevada didn't start counting until 1:00. A lot of other states took forever.

I think I heard that Nevada was waiting for everyone to be finished voting.

A Republican equivalent of Tester would be a Republican senator from New York who votes like he's from Kansas and somehow keeps getting reelected over and over again.

Montana isn’t nearly as Republican as New York is Democratic...

Maybe Connecticut is a better comparison? It has a Republican streak statewide in the way Montana does a Democratic one.

Is it really such a good idea to appoint McSally to the other senate seat just weeks after her defeat? Won't that be a giant middle finger to the voters who rejected her?

Yes. But if you really think about it, so are unelected gubernatorial appointments to vacant Senate seats as well.

CA-21 might have about 30k votes left to count? 2012 had 116k votes, 2016 had 132k, and 2014 had 79k votes. I'm willing to bet turnout will look closer to 2012 when all is said and done, maybe a bit higher.
