Hoping Frisch eventually pulls this off, even if it's by a IA-02 2020 margin in the end.

So uh... I guess we're not gonna know who officially controls either chamber this evening, but we can probably assume Democrats hold the Senate and the House flips?

I'm tired of checking this thread every five minutes, and like after any other election I'm just exhausted.

[South Dakota Democrat]

Has Boebert said anything publicly about all this?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I wouldn't say "assume", but I would be actively surprised by anything else.

Looks like La Paz will have a similar underperformance for Masters.

Worse than Trump but likely better than McSally 2020.

Not that I'm aware.

Regardless of how this goes, we should avoid listening to random people on Twitter about election calls.

Very much so

We won't know for weeks, while CA counts its votes.

I'm back! And holy molasses, I never thought that I would ever be capable of underestimating American voters! What a night! This actually might have been the most satisfying election night that I've observed since 2012, especially since I was resigned to envisioning the worst possible, seemingly preordained outcome.

 I know we still have some ways to go, and there were some very upsetting close losses still (Kansas Attorney General, MI-10, just about every New York House race, Wisconsin Senate) but I always said that I would live and die by the Senate as my ultimate priority for what I cared most about, and I have my fingers and everything else crossed that we might actually end up with 51 seats. The fact that the House is (or maybe was) in contention at all is gravy, but some very unexpectedly delicious gravy. It was so entertaining to watch McCarthy's speech last night where he almost literally was polishing a turd.

Florida though...

It's hard to assume anything about the Senate, since Georgia is a runoff and Nevada and Arizona are very much unknown. Each party needs two out of those three to win.

The House looks bad for Democrats, unless they get lucky in virtually every district that's remotely in doubt. It will be a thin majority either way, though.

EDIT: I should point out that if anything, Democrats are favored in the Senate because Arizona looks promising, but it's early.

The House looks like it will be so close it will be a mess that takes weeks to call, but slightly more Republicans are likely going to be elected yes.

Is it looking more like days or weeks until it's over? (Yes, I know the GA runoff is December 6th.)

California said they won’t be done until December 5th

One day we'll have elections that wont be decided by piecemeal ballot dumps hours after the actual voting ends.

Florida's system is so much better.

Why does California always take so long? It feels like they have one person counting each county

What is it about being west of the Rockies that makes states so bad at counting votes?

[Figueira]

If Boebert holds on, this will be the most insuffrable race of 2024.

I generally agree, but keep in mind that even in a very efficient system, extremely close races can take a long time to determine.  In 2018, both the Florida gubernatorial and Senate races weren't called until recounts took place something like 12 days after Election Day.
