Glad to see so many Dem wins in Nevada!

That said, I sadly think Laxalt will defeat Mastro. At least that's what it looks like now. 84% counted, and she is down 47.8% to Laxalt's 49.2%.

All that gloomy-sounding stuff aside, it has been A LOT better for Dems than I thought it would be, so I'm overall content.

 

 

Washington State is a Mail-Only election state. The rules are that ballots must be postmarked by election day, but there is no deadline for them to arrive.  If they are postmarked by election day, they must be counted.

Washington State's 3rd Congressional District is represented by Republican Jaime Herrera Beutler.  She voted for impeachment, so the GOP did not support her in the primary; and thus she is out at the end of this year/congressional session.  

The Republican who won the primary for her seat is Trump supporter Joe Kent.
So far, the Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is ahead, but it will take a while to count all the ballots, as ballots are still arriving in the mail.

 

Each state has different deadlines for mail or absentee ballots.
Here is a list by state:

More right wing outrage.

A few hours ago it was GOP at 222.

Thanks for finding that, @Vee That truly is much higher than I thought they'd get this year. Ideally we can scrape through a few more at the least. 

Lindsey Graham is a horrid little man. Shamefully race-baiting and going as over the top in a pearl-clutching manner as possible. I want Julia Sugarbaker to rise and lash into him. I'm not going to act like this can't work, but I dearly hope it doesn't. 

The media went hogwild this year, and for several years now, to tell us how many Latinos were true Republicans at heart, and all the rest. This article breaks down some of the Latino vote, and gains (or no gains).

This Nevada race is killing me. Why I care, I don't know. I live in NY. LOL!

But I am so confused. The way this is being framed, it sounds like CCM still has a shot, but based on how much is counted vs. left to go...*shrug*

Again, though, this midterm was basically a miracle for Dems. Even if we do lose majority, it will by NO MEANS be a mandate, and if the GOP has hopes of anything substantial being done, they will need to reach across the aisle.

I don't wanna jinx it, but let's just say I have a strong opinion on that.

Okay...? (When the time is right, maybe you can elaborate then. )

They don't care about doing anything substantial. Just obstruction and tax cuts.

Jon Ralston is the account to follow for the Nevada race.

I've already laid it out, but this close to the end I don't wanna speak it too plainly. As @DRW50says, Ralston is the best source for NV.

Gotcha. Thanks!
