The AP has called GA-7 for Woodall.

[justfollowingtheelections]

So the results from Fresno should be out in about 45 minutes.  Let's go Cox!

[IceSpear]

Looks like CA-21 will be the final race to be decided. Will it be D+39 and 234-201 or D+40 and 235-200?!

Given how the late Ballots broke in CA Cox is the Favourite at this Point.

[Pericles]

Nate Silver said CA-23 instead of CA-21 twice(in tweets). Weird.

[wbrocks67]

Is there a reason NY22 still hasn't been called? Brindisi is winning by more ballots than there is out, now

[GeorgiaModerate]

Bourdeaux has conceded in GA-07 following the recount.  The final margin was 433.  Woodall gained 9 votes in Gwinnett and 4 in Forsyth, while Bourdeaux gained 1 in Gwinnett and lost 2 in Forsyth.

Makes sense. 400 votes it a tough margin to overcome in a House election.

Oh well, Bourdeaux probably still did better than the other MUH MODERATE BUSINESSMAN candidate would have.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Valadao margin down to just over 400 votes-

CA-21 Update

David Valadao (R) 54,713 votes - 50.21%
TJ Cox (D) 54,266 votes - 49.79%

And that's still with another Kern update coming on Monday.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

D+40 here we come!!

[IceSpear]

Valadao is scum for having the audacity to vote 99% of the time with Trump in a Clinton +16 district. He deserves to be humiliated by losing to a random bankrupt carpetbagging gringo.

Is Cox really Anglo? I read somewhere that he is actually Filipino-American.

Seriously? Monday?

California really needs to pull it together and count faster. This is absurd.

[Sestak]

CA-21 to Lean D on 538.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Valadao should move to OK-03 and run there instead. He already votes like he represents the Oklahoma Panhandle.

[lfromnj]

Good thing Tim walz district was lost. He voted like he was from Ca 12th in a trump +15 district.

This feels like the basis for a skit where Valadao carpetbags to ever redder (bluer) territory and loses to weaker Democratic candidates each time. A bankrupt no-one in CA, then a corporate lawyer in OK, then an illiterate farmer in Wyoming, until eventually he’s elected in Vermont on a technicality. And is immediately impeached.

1) We have a decent shot at picking it back up in two years, 2) Walz is now Governor, 3) You know Hagedorn is an anti-Semite, right?

That’s the problem with a scorched earth strategy. It p*sses off everyone outside the bunker.

Especially if, as FiveThirtyEight pointed out, there aren’t enough people inside the bunker to get you elected: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trumps-base-isnt-enough/amp/
