It’s still a moving target and there are answers across the board depending on which numbers sites are using. I’ll suggest Wikipedia, but we should wait until everything has been counted: [2018 United States House of Representatives elections - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2018) ---

I was off by a couple in the Senate of course, but still! I hereby honorably mention **USCDiver** in the case that the total ends up House D230 for that first out of the gate correct call. That out of the gate Senate guess though was dumb as rocks! That mention and a please can get you a _fine_ cuppa coffee at my kitchen counter. Need a bit more elsewhere … But making the point again: the actual basics that went into the calculation were pretty consistent this whole time and that stability is pretty notable. As for the farthest off … For serious entries I’m seeing this one: Aspenglow 01/23/18 277 52 57 as the farthest off (dismissing kaylasdad’s as silly fun).

Here’s what I’m seeing in the preliminary standings. Ravenman is currently ahead with 3.5 points. Railer13 is in second at 4.5. However, wiki still shows many seats uncalled and I’ll update from there as needed. The numbers currently being used are: House D: 226 Senate D: 46 Vote % D: 51.5 Worst guess, discounting kaylasdad, is Aspenglow at 62.5 points off the total. Still some baseball to play, people.

Note that the new leaders are: Richard Parker 3.6 Ravenman 4.4 Railer13 4.6 As the number of D house seats grows Richard Parker’s case gets stronger and Ravenman and Railer13’s cases grow weaker. But once it gets above 228, Richard Parker will again start to lose ground. USCDiver could still pull it out as the final tally moves toward 230+ for the house. Though his Senate guess of 51 will work against him, there. Interesting times. Worst scores Aspenglow 60.6 BobLibDem 41.6 pjacks 32.4 Pleonast 30.6 ---

> [@Jonathan\_Chance](#): > > I simply used the percentage available on the wiki page, really. If it’s off, I’ll double check. Sorry but you still need to correct. The rules are not as the percent of total vote but the percent of _total R+D only_ (see posts 28 to 30). Not that it impacts the contest results but again it does give some decent braggin’ rights to **USCDiver**. It _may_ very well be that that _very first_ entry from early January will have two of three portions dead on. ---

Interestingly, this might be the high water mark for our leader, Richard Parker. His House guess is now exactly on but with several still to be called he can only get further away now. Railer 13 is now moving further away from unity as his guess of 225 in the House is now beginning to work against him. That guess of 48 senators and 53% D Vote should hold up pretty well. Meanwhile, Dseid’s 56% guess for D Vote is liable to be a burden over the long haul. The actual vote total right now is hovering right around 53.3% so his guess is not going to help him. Tired and Cranky is new to the leaderboard as more calls come in. However, I think that senate call of 51 will work against them once the rest of the votes come in. Bubbling under? USCDiver is still in the hunt with a guess of 230, 51, 53% and the trio of Melcalc, Steve MB and Monocracy are all well positioned to move up the rankings as more seats are called in the house. Monocracy, in particular, is well poised to take the lead at 233, 49, 54%. ---

The actual vote total right now is hovering right around 53.3% so his guess is not going to help him. … I think **Richard Parker** is had to unseat as the winner by anyone other than **Monocracy** (if the House keeps rising) as it would require both the remaining Senate seats to go D-ward - highly unlikely - and my popular vote guess does makes a win for me impossible at this point - but a reminder/clarification of your stated scoring system: the score is based on the total number of seats off as the main contest and popular vote as the tiebreaker, not part of the main score. My off popular vote guess would only be pertinent if the other two resulted in a tie score. So, hypothetically, if the end numbers are 230 48 53 then **Richard Parker** would have a score of 2, I’d be 3, and **USCDiver** would be 3 (but would beat me in a tie of the main contest if the Senate moved up to 49). ---

Current leaderboard: Richard Parker and Melcalc: 3.00 USCDiver and DSeid: 4.00 Monocacy and Steve MB: 5.00 Looking at it, I’m really surprised how few picks we had with Democrats taking seats in the 230 range. Monocacy’s bid of 233 might just be the decision maker in the end. ---

I think I’ve got the lead now with 231 confirmed D House seats. Although, if the Dems keep doing well, **Wesley Clark** could pull this one off. If it hits 235, the win goes to him. ---

For the benefit of those of us watching from the cheap seats, which House races **haven’t** been officially called yet? ---

Yeah, I tried looking it up. CNN and Vox both say 7 races are still not over. They agree on only 4 of them.
