Race has been called for Cortez-Masto, the remaining votes are from strongly Democratic areas and her winning margin will only increase as the remaining votes come in.
Best Republicans can hope for now is to keep it at 50-50 by winning Georgia.
But Democrats will control the Senate.
This also ensures that Biden’s judicial nominees will continue to move. Probably faster now since the Senate won’t bother moving legislation that would just die in the Republican House.
The election proves the power of the city while the progressive agenda advances with urban areas advancing. The first post-Limbaugh era election ends with an even bigger progressive majority ready to impose their ban on talk radio.
Why would they end a contributing factor to their wins?
When these elections take way over what it should to count the votes, has an R ever won?
You are confusing media announcing winners with actually counting.
Regurgibleeting
Nope. Usually the same suspect states every time too.
Maybe quit Regurgibleeting Trump’s election lies. The general population isn’t buying it. Our elections aren’t perfect, but there is not some grand conspiracy to steal elections from Republicans. It’s their messaging or lack there of that is doing it.
Two words - Ron Johnson. Probably Lauren Boebert.
Oh…incumbents. Got it.
Please define “what it should” and we will need another important factor and that is what method of counting are you basing that on? (The two option typically being a hand count by multiple human beings or a tabulation machine where optical scanning counts the ballot.)
Once we know those two factors the rest is a fairly simple mental exercise call “math” as applied to a logistical situation.
Through motion and time study we can define the average time for counting a single ballot and the manpower required for each situation. For example for a single hand count ballot you need two election officials that agree on the ballots vote, if there is a question then you need an Election Judge to make the final call, and in addition there will need to be party observers. It gets complicated because while you need two people to count the ballots, the Election Judge can oversee multiple stations, that means his/her time is accounted on a fractional basis. Volunteer observers are not required, however the number of observers the parties will need is a function of the number of counting stations.
Of course you need different motion and time studies for mail-in/dropoff ballots because they take more time because it becomes a two part process: security validation and then counting the separated ballot once counting is done.
As I said after that it’s all math. Define the method of counting and define the amount of time allowed for counting.
X Amount of time for tabulation counting * number ballots to be counted
Y Amount of time for security processing for mail-in drop off ballots * number of ballots to be counted
.
.
That establishes the baseline of how long to count all ballots in man-minutes. Given the trough put of either hand counting or tabulator counting you can know how long it takes as a function of (a) staff available and/or tabulations machines available.
.
.
So you can have fast accurate counts, you(c) just have to be willing to fund the infrastructure in terms of labor and machines to support the logistical parameters that defined the desire outcome.
Oh, don’t forget to factor into your calculations of “reasonable time” state law that defines WHEN mail-in/dropoff ballots can even begin to be processed. If the security process can occur prior to election day and then those ballots counted on election day that significantly changes the logistical equations. On the other hand if these can’t begin to be processed until Election Day or after polls close - then that will mean even more manpower and equipment to achieve the logistical goal.
It’s not really that hard. It’s defining the steps and then calculating it out.
WW
And…?
It’s never too late to move the goalposts.
Yes…the Republican won the governorship in that exact same state.
The Republican won the governorship in that exact same state.
Rarely, if ever. In close elections DEMs always seem to find just enough votes to push them over the top. That’s why I strongly believe DEMs will somehow find a way to keep the House.
We are just that good. Selective election rigging. 
You mean like Trump was when all this election denial BS began.
Use historical times and other states as the basis. It isn’t that hard and what’s happening is unacceptable.
