They only called Indiana, of the first six states to close the polls

Tips for bud and bar tenders..

VA has been called for Biden and WV & KY for Trump. In the WV-Sen race, Paula Jean is only 2 pts behind Caputo at present.

BERNIE WOULD HAVE WON! https://t.co/pQluCUnw4W

Just checking in.

I am numb. No opinion to offer or comment to make.

See you all later on tonight.

McTurtle has won the KY-SEN race. DNC really chose badly by backing McGrath.

Jeanne Shaheen expected to win NH again, along with Corey Booker and Ed Markey.

Jim Inohofe is returning to DC. Sigh.

Map below shows the states Biden and Trump are projected to win so far. Biden 85 EV, Trump 55 EV.

Bill Hagerty is expected to win TN-Sen. But Marquita is getting 25% of the vote so far.

They chose well. Senator Schumer would prefer to keep Senator McConnell in the Senate for another six years over a progressive troublemaker from his own party.

Trump is ahead in the popular vote; Biden is ahead in EV. Look at this map.

Unless the margin is razor thin — it’s been known to happen in Florida — there is a good chance that the state will be called before bedtime on the East Coast.
Polls in Georgia also close at 7 p.m. Final results could be known within a few hours as well.
North Carolina’s polls close at 7:30 p.m. Most of the early vote there has already been counted, so this is another state that is likely to be called Tuesday, unless it is very close.
If Mr. Biden does not win any of those three states (or Texas, where most of the state polls close at 8 p.m.), that will ratchet up the importance of the so-called blue wall of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which Mr. Trump flipped from Democrats in 2016 and where polls show Mr. Biden ahead. Mr. Trump needs to hold on to just one of them to win re-election, assuming he keeps the rest of his 2016 winning map. That’s a big assumption: He is defending a half-dozen states he won in 2016, and slightly trailing in some polls in Georgia and Arizona.

NC looks really good right now.

Florida looks like it may be a close loss sadly due mostly to Cubans in Miami. The rest of the country, especially suburbs have swung very much to Biden.

Meanwhile the DNC took every chance to smear Bernie in Florida so they could say he could not be the nominee because he could never win Florida, especially the Cuban community.

NYT is reporting that Cal Cunningham is ahead of Thom Tillis 51-45%, with 65% of the results in North Carolina senate race. That would be amazing if NC went blue again.

Looks promising

Biden ahead in NC

52.1% -47%

Seems like Ohio might be in Play?

Definitely

In TX-10, Mike Siegel is only 1.65% behind Incumbent Mike McCaul.

I don’t quite understand how the media is calling the various states which have been called so far, but here’s an interesting example. Virginia has been called for Joe Biden — which would seem right, based on the polling done preceding the election, but seems strange based on where the vote count is at the moment. With about a third of the votes counted, Trump has a bit more than 930,000 votes (or just under 60%) and Biden has bit less than 630,000 (or just under 40%).

Apparently they’re expecting a lot more votes to come in for Biden and to reverse the way things now stand, but wouldn’t it make more sense to wait until those votes are counted and Biden actually is in the lead in the count of Virginia’s votes before calling the state for him?

[That’s based on what Yahoo News is reporting at the moment on their Yahoo Elections page.

Or did Yahoo somehow screw up the figures they posted on their map and reverse the Biden and Trump numbers? But if that were what happened, surely someone would have pointed out their error and they’d have corrected it by now. Their map now claims that with 38% of the vote counted Trump is at 1,040,000 and Biden is at 713,000 — still close to 60-40 in Trump’s favor… And despite that, Virginia continues to be colored a dark blue on the map, meaning it’s been pretty decisively called for Biden despite the vote count not being there for Biden yet.

Northern VA, heavily , is always tallied last

several large D areas to come in yet in VA
