With one day left, here are my educated predictions on the final outcome tomorrow:

House:

Democrats take back the House with a SMALL majority. I'm thinking somehwere around 225 Dems-210 GOP.

Senate:

Arizona: Martha McSally within one point.
Florida: Bill Nelson holds onto his seat by a somewhat comfortable margin of around 5 points.
Indiana: Joe Donnelly holds onto his seat but just barely.
Minnesota special: Tina Smith retains her seat by 5-10 points.
Missouri: Another Dem hold, Claire McCaskill holds onto her seat with a margin of less than one percent.
Montana: Jon Tester fends off a challenge from Matt Rosendale thanks to his personal popularity with a margin of about 5 points.
North Dakota: A definite win for the GOP candidate, Rep. Kevin Cramer by at least ten points.
New Jersey: Bob Menendez manages to hold onto his seat, but only with about a 2-3 point margin.
Nevada: GOP Sen. Dean Heller keeps his seat by about a 2-3 point margin.
Tennessee: Phil Bredesen wins by a point.
Texas: I predict this will be the night's major upset and O'Rourke will defeat Ted Cruz thanks to the massive surge in the youth and Latino vote and independents. It will swing back and forth throughout the night and will be called after midnight, with O'Rourke winning by one point or less.

Final count: 50-50. Mike Pence casts the tiebreaking vote as President of the Senate, therefore GOP maintains control.


Governors:

Florida: Andrew Gillum by about four points.
Georgia: Stacey Abrams by about two points.
Wisconsin: Tony Evers by about six points.

Dems winning Missouri, Indiana, and Tennessee while losing Nevada and Arizona is a classic Atlas stupid prediction.

Ask yourself this: why on earth would Dems win in three states where Trump won by double digits yet lose in a Clinton state and a 3 point Trump state?

Yes! If Dems carry Tennessee and/or Texas, they aren't losing Nevada or Arizona.
