Updates (that I’m allowed to share):

*Watkins appears to have held his seat in KS (take one off the D “flip list”
*Per Baris: Daryl Issa told him last night that “his” (Issa’s) is the only CA seat we’ll lose. (take 1-2 more off the Ds “flip list”)
*Sessions apparently is going to lose his seat (add one back)
*FL looking VERY good (but I can’t say more).
*Per Cuyahoga GOP: Ds were “up” in the county in their early/absentee vote (over 2016), Rs were “up more” (I’m sure he means as a %). Great news, as a D must come out of Cuyahoga up 150,000 to take the state.
*Anecdotal OH: hearing last couple of days of early voting in Claremont, Warren, and Butler (all red) were long lines to early vote.
*Per Freeper “Ravi,” the IA1 #s show that Ds were up in absentee/early over 2016 by a little over 1, Rs down .08, and Rod Blum won by 7 in 2016, so he may be safe.

As of now, 9:46 AZ time, Ds have lost a net two off their flip list and are at around 28 flippable seats. Magic # is 23. We expect to gain 2 in MN, which would make it 26. We are “hoping” that AZ1 flips as it seems, which would make it 25, and then we’d only have to hold 2 more seats on that entire list to hold the House. So far, so good.

If Ocasio loses to Joe Crowley it will prove racism is alive in the Democrat Party.

I don’t think I’m following you...I thought Issa was winning.

Sessions as in who?

How can you predict anything when the polls are open?

You are my go-to today, here and Twitter. No nattering nabob, just steely resolve and Woodford reserve.

"My parents are buried in rural Fauquier."

Two votes for democrats.
My dad voted democrat when he was young but, as he got older and wiser, he always voted republican.
After he died though, he went back to voting democrat.
