Are you telling me the AZ Secretary of State knows the results already although there are still 400,000 ballots that remain to be counted in Arizona's Maricopa County. Along with Arizona's Pima County has about 159,000 ballots to count Arizona election official say. That around 560,000 ballots still to be counted from just 2 of Arizona’s counties. Around another 100,000 from the rest of Arizona’s counties.
Kelly leads by 95,000 or so votes, chances are he’ll win. But with a third of the votes yet to be counted, the winner in Arizona’s senate race hasn’t been officially determined yet. I’m willing to say Kelly will win Arizona tying the senate at 49-49 with NV and the GA runoff yet to be determined. In NV Laxalt leads by 18,000 with 80% of the votes counted. Around 210,000 remain to be counted. NV is still rated a tossup. If Cortez Masto can pull it out, that’ll give the democrats 50 and guarantee them control of the senate regardless of who wins the GA runoff. If Laxalt wins, that will give the GOP 50-49 advantage depending on GA for control of the senate. This is counting AZ as a Democrat win, although far from official or determined yet.
The House according to CNN now stands at 208-188 GOP. The more important number is the Republicans have now flipped 16 Democratic seats to the Democrats having flipped 4 formerly held Republican seats. A net gain of 12 seats for the Republicans. That means if both parties hang on to their remaining seats, the GOP will have 225-210 advantage next year. But there are still 39 races to be called.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
