So are Ds needing two more Senate victories to reach 51? You know, slow at math, and everything. (yes , nice to see my aforementioned extreme shithead [Fincham] vapourized.) ---

To control the Senate, they need only 50, they’ll have it if they win Nevada – looking more possible by the moment. To have a cushion of 1 extra senator, they need to win Georgia. (And I think they will.) So yes, if they win both, they’ll have 51. ---

Thanks, and, if in a pony world at 52 D. Senate seats, that would eliminate the whole Manchin/Sinema nuisance? (pardon quick derail) ---

Now all eyes turn to Nevada… the lead is a tad over 800. 55k left in throughout the state, Cortez needs to get a good 50+ of them to get to her senate seat. No more vote dumps expected tonight. ---

Yes. Should nv and ga go to incumbents, that takes one of the two out of the equation. It also gives the dem.s a bit of breathing room, in case of an unfortunate incident. ---

May as well go to sleep, no new votes tonight from az and the lead is too narrow to call. In the good news the house is now 203d-211r. ---

Ah, I see. While not ready to crash just yet, gotta say my most ‘relieving’ win would be the loss of Marchant. He scared me more than anyone out of that whole disgusting lot.
