I just heard Kornacki say the words “this is an opportunity for Democrats” and this “at 9:39pm…it seems the Dems are in the game…to hold the House.” ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > In Michigan, no senate race but we’ve got the top three state offices on the ballot, plus three statewide propositions. The one I’m most nervous about is Prop 3, which would enshrine reproductive rights in the state constitution. With 8.5% in, the yes votes are up about 57-43. We won’t know anything in Michigan until tomorrow. Too many absentee ballots and none were counted in advance. ---

> [@AHunter3](#): > > Arizona started off blue and the red team started nipping at their tails in 2020…, closing the gap considerably but never catching them. So yeah it depends on the state and their rules. Some states dont count absentee ballots until after everything else. Maricopa county, with the largest population, validates and counts mail-in and early ballots received by Sunday evening, but does not release any tallies until an hour after the polls closed at 7pm. That’s about 80% of the ballots so it would take a pretty good bias one way or another on the election day ballots to move the needle. What the other counties do may be different. ---

I started following this on CNN, but it just amounts to so much guesswork, talkie-talk and bullshit, I had to turn it off. Tomorrow is Garbage Day. I’ll find out what happened then. ---

Kornacki on MSNBC is showing Beasley (D) vs Budd (R) in NC running very well. WTF? ETA Pretty sure Walker vs Warnock goes to a runoff on 12/4 ---

Boebert is now **behind** in her district as is Kirkmeyer in hers Districts 3 & 8 CO are strong ultra Right areas. If it stands it is a huge pickup for the Dems. ---
