Two Arizona House Races too close to call.

I’ve been watching the Ron Barber race because he was picked by Gabby Giffords after her shooting. The R’s may pick up an extra seat if McSally wins.

The other race I haven’t been following.

I wonder how many other House seats are still undecided? Any Senate races still counting their votes?

Outcome of McSally-Barber, Kirkpatrick-Paton races may be days away

The outcome of election races in two Congressional districts that include Southern Arizona appear to be days away from deciding as up to 400,000 provisional ballots are processed.

With all voting precincts in Congressional District 2 reporting, Republican Martha McSally held a razor thin margin of just 1,312 votes – 0.6 of a point – over Democrat Ron Barber.

And with all but two precincts reporting in Congressional District 1, Ann Kirkpatrick was 6,704 votes – a 3.3 percent margin – ahead of Republican Jonathan Paton.

I think N. Dakota is the last remaining Senate race. The Dem is ahead, but by a very small margin, and so a recount seems likely.

Or not. The last Senate race was just decided in favour of the Democrat. The new Senate will have a 55 member Democratic caucus.

That’s without the 2 independents, right?

No, 53 Dems plus 2 friendly Independents.

Ah, thanks. That makes a lot more sense. So the total was D+2 for the night? Pretty amazing for an election that looked 3 months ago like a GOP takeover.
