IN and KY are majority RED on initial reports.

Uh yeah, in established red strongholds. Not unexpected.

Edit: With a whopping 3.27% reporting in Indiana's District 2, and 0.32% in Kentucky's District 6. Wee, what a cutthroat race, a trickle of results out of the strongholds.

uh yeah, hence, *INITIAL 😒

Gonna be a late night ...

They just ordered extended polling place hours at nine places in Harris County, Texas.

Indiana is one to watch though. Donnelly is an incumbent Democrat. Incumbents are tough to unseat and he was running a tough race right up until Kavanaugh. That race may still go his way, even if it is a red state.

It's currently a blue state.
TX, AZ, NV, TN are the red states that the Dems might flip.

Quite true. I'm just saying don't get too worked up yet, it's way too early for that. Putting all one's excitement eggs in one basket based on known strongholds leads to chapped cheeks

Video is in showing officials at TX polling stations saying DACA recipients and illegals can vote and to bring them in - if they are registered.

Arizona and Nevada are the ones to really watch there. Tennessee is pretty safe, and Texas has been showing signs it should be safe although Beta Male could do something unexpected.

I'm the one who said the early red results are from smaller rural countries which will almost always favor red in pretty much any state.

Its important to remember this isnt a presedential election.

Its entirely possible repubs could win in unexpected places in some areas, and dems in others.

Early exit polls could be telling. I haven't seen actual numbers for candidates but we're seeing a large number of voters saying the issue they cared most about was healthcare (41%) followed by immigration (23%.)

In the run up to the election healthcare was identified as the most important issue among Democrats and Independents. Immigration was the most important issue for Republicans.

Exit polls are gonna become increasingly useless as more and more people vote early.

I stopped paying attention to exit polling long ago. It doesn't even reflect what the national polling says the day before.

The thing to remember is no matter who ever wins the Govenor seat in Georgia, Georgia gets a loser who is terrible with finances.

I voted for Bigfoot and Popeye the Sailor man ................Was an amazing time in the booth where you go to hide inside...

I've never really paid much attention to exit polls. Is there a tangible point to them or are they like TV news polls at the mall over the holidays, i.e essentially useless?

They used to actually be pretty useful because you were getting a direct sample on election day, which is much better than trying to random sample days or weeks before the election. But again, every election they have less people to sample because of early voting so it's becoming less and less accurate.

Actually Guam does have a Representative. The Dems won that race as well.

As was told to you , Guam does not have a Representative
Guam has a "Delegate"
Mostly as a courtesy
So , that member was absolutely correct
You are wrong
Denying Ignorance
Why ?
Its what I do

Ah, a peek at the poker hand, so to speak, gotcha.

Yeah, kind of useless when early voting is picking up so much steam. Loses a lot of accuracy with that in mind.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on. If Donnelly gets voted out the Dems pretty much lose any chance at getting the majority in the Senate.
