The Red wave did not happen. "It was a good night for democrats". Joe Biden.

If Kelly keeps his lead in Arizona and Warnock tackles the former Heisman trophy winner Herschal Walker on Dec 6. The senate will be 50-50 and Vice President K. Harris will break all ties. Go Dems. Originally Posted by adav8s28

Cortez Masto will have to increase the percent of the vote she is currently receiving in Clark County but victory is not impossible for her.

Thanks for the update SpeedRacerXXX. Late last night it looked like Mastro was two percentage points behind with over 80% of the vote counted. I hope you are right that she could regain the lead. The runoff is going to be close between Warnock and Walker.

The estimated percentage of the uncounted vote that Cortez Masto must win to overtake Laxalt has dropped to maybe 53%. The majority of the uncounted votes are in Democratic leaning areas but it is difficult to make any predictions at this point in time. Both sides are confident of victory.

I think Warnock should be viewed as the favorite going into the runoff next month. He beat Walker by 35,000 votes in the general election and in the 2020 runoff election in Georgia Democrats had a stronger turnout than Republicans. And Walker won't have Kemp;s coattails to ride in the runoff.

What's to worry? We'll get what we voted for. We'll continue to have that precious Democracy that is dis-functional at best.

Back on topic. Laxalt's lead is 862 votes with 94% of the ballots counted. And in the Arizona Governor's race, Hobbs continues to lead election-denier Lake by over 31,000 votes with 84% of the vote counted.

Unless Warnock clinches it now, the worm turns. The libertarian candidate collected 81,000 votes and most libertarian will either go home or vote for the republican (conservative) candidate. If Walker gets half of those votes...he wins.
The weakness with democrats is that they want control...they want to tell us how to live our lives, what to eat, what to drive, where to live, and who to follow on social media. What self-respecting libertarian could vote for that. Only fake and weak libertarians.

To conclude, Walker is the favorite in the run off...if we have one.

The odds are high that many if not most Libertarians will not vote in the runoff election without their candidate on the ballot. Second, remember 2020? Democrats showed up more strongly than Republicans in the runoff. And Walker will not have the benefit of Kemp being on the ballot. I don't understand how you can say Walker is the favorite. But then you predicted Republicans to take control of the Senate by 4 or 5 seats.

Well, Cortez Masto has been declared the winner in Nevada. It's hard to call an incumbent winning an upset, but Nevada was the state that was considered the most likely to turn. Another election denier bites the dust. I thought I was being optimistic on the Democratic side when I predicted 50-50.

Hobbs lead in Arizona continues to grow with every vote drop. 34,000 vote lead with 88% of the vote counted.

By how many? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Hopefully, Trump won't go down that way or that experience will show people that you do have to vote.

Of course, they are going to dump hundreds of millions of dollars into Georgia. I can see wall to wall TV commercials.

Does it bother any leftist that the same states from the last cycle are having the same strange problems getting votes counted? Almost like it was intentional.

I'm a Libertarian but no it does not bother me.

Each state is allowed to set up their own elections.

Kinda like how you want each state to decide on abortion.

And most of the states having problems are run by Republicans.

It's a nice excuse but impossible to prove. Runoff elections always have lower turnouts than the regular elections. And yes, Trump's accusations certainly helped the Democratic candidates in the 2021 Georgia runoff. I'll stick by my prediction that Warnock wins. No excuses from me if he does not. I doubt you will accept a Walker loss. You will claim voter irregularities as usual.Without proof.
