2008 Senate/House Results Thread

[Mr. Morden]

What's the deal on Louisiana?  Will Landrieu actually be forced into a runoff (she's only leading 50-48%)?  CNN has called the state for Landrieu, but are they aware of the fact that you need >50% to avoid a runoff there (unless state law is changed, and I somehow missed it?)?

[Mr. Morden]

What are the recount rules in Georgia and Oregon?  Chambliss is at 50.4% in Georgia....just barely enough to avoid a runoff.....but is there a recount if he's just barely above 50%?

And Oregon still has a long way to go before all the votes are counted, but what's the threshold for a recount there?

[Mr. Morden]

Also, what exactly happens if Stevens wins?  Is he forced to immediately resign because of his conviction?
