Current Electoral Math

according to the new york times its reps 218-212 with 5 races up in the air.

dems lead in 2 of those races. reps 3.

so its looking like 221-214 actually 220 with the gaetz resignation.

and that makes it dems +1 from the results of 2022 (in which the dems won 213)

two settled yesterday. 1 dem 1 rep. tally is now 219-213 with 3 really tight races yet.

By the way, your gal Peltola lost in Alaska. Another of your predictions to go wrong. :wink:

Bob Casey finally conceded. Apparently, 71k voters only voted for POTUS. Pennsylvania loves them some Trump.

alas, but ranked choice voting won, so score one for the good guys.

Yeah, I voted to keep it. If Republicans ever get their ■■■■ together and embrace it, they should never lose another election up here again. :wink:

lol is murkowski a rebuplican?

Allan

Yes, very much so, but a moderate like Reagan, not a right-winger like Mike Lee.

But what does that have to do with the election?

she despises trump.

would reagan like trump?

What bothered me the most about this election was the Pennsylvania coverage. I understand networks want to keep viewers, but people besides the networks were still holding out hope when Trump took the lead in PA. You could have called PA at 51% of the vote in. Yet people were dragging it out all night long. Once Trump took the lead it was over in PA.

Don’t bring up 2020. The votes came in reverse.

I despise Trump too, but then, I’m not a Republican. :wink:

still 219-213 republicans with 3 races uncalled. dems lead in 2 districts. reps in 1. looks like the final count will be

republicans 219
democrats 215
vacancy 1 (gaetz)

when the new house organizes in January.

Allan

more than one vacancy. Slotkin and Walz as well, right ?

they are not vacant yet. they will vote Johnson in as speaker.

gaetz has resigned and will not be part of the new congress.

new house will organize as 219-215 for republicans with one vacancy.

Walz is (was?) Governor of Minnesota, not a Rep.

Slotkin’s House seat was won by Tom Barret (R) in this election.

He means Stefanik and Waltz.
