Early results looking fairly bad for Democrats. Their a hair's breath away from the scenario in which they win a quasi-landslide in votes and have very little to show for it.

The Utah legislature just updated Prop 2 anticipating its passage. They just made it easier for ptsd types to get weed, which is interesting. Also, Utah now has over 1.3 million who voted. Small potatoes compared to the rest of the country, but I think it's indicative to the general motivation of the country writ large to show up to the polls.

CNN has 37/39 for Congress right now (D/R). eta: And they need 21 to get the majority.

This 538 tracker is hilarious.

Red wave in Florida. Flipped a senate seat, governorship secured.

Beto's lead just dropped to 9k. Wow.

eta: Holy crap DeSantis' lead just jumped to 90k.

eta2: What the “F”. Abrams is getting crushed in Georgia. I honestly thought she was going to win that one hands down.

eta3: D/R 60/65 right now in the House.

Why did you think that? She was never leading in any of the polls.

But they extended poll hours in some areas due to complications and I don't think the big Abram's districts have fully reported.

Because Real Clear Politics had them as a toss up and I believed the Democrats were energized enough to overcome voting issues there.
