Does anyone have a good explanation for exactly what happened in New York?
Like why does it appear to have been a sizable red wave across the state while both Pennsylvania and all of New England were significant blue waves?

Trickle down effect of crime and cashless bail played a role.  There were a few high profile incidents in which those released on cashless bail committed more crimes including some violent ones and others over and over again.

Republicans also ran an effective scare campaign in making people think that cashless bail was an option for rapists, murders and violent criminals and Democrats did a poor at defending it and calling out the misinformation.

>Ditches his own seat
>Pushes out his neighboring colleague
>Still loses
>The seat he abandoned goes blue anyway

What a cowardly worm. His defeat was the only D loss I cheered for today.

While Maloney can certainly be criticized, I'm still not a fan of the ditches his own seat comment, he ran in the district he lives in.   Yes, you don't technically have to live in the district you run in, but I don't think you can be critical of someone for running in the seat they live in

It's not a scientific measurement, but only ONE seat that was rated by the New York Times as "(party) expected to win easily" has flipped to the other party. 

Anybody wanna take a guess what seat that was? No cheating!

Are they calling Boebert?

so what exactly happened in Boebert's seat? Was it a turnout thing? Actual vote-switching? People fed up with her craziness or some specific scandal?

Crazy lady in a seat that is Republican leaning, but not uber Republican.  Voters put up with her crazy in 2020 or simply didn't realize how crazy she realyl was.

Is Laxalt an election denier?
Also, could the Nevada Senate race be called today or tomorrow?

Haven't seen what is left in Washoe or the Rurals, but unless the count from tonight from Clark is considerably more Republican than expected, it is pretty likely this gets called.

Why no call out of ME-2 yet?

RCV.  although it is pretty much certain the Democrats will have it, a call isn't going to be made until anything with the ranked choice is known.

Why isn't CA-22 called by CNN yet? Basically everything is in.

My guess is being extra cautious.   On their House map DDHQ is still showing leading in ME-02 without the RCV.
