Yes, I thought Cruz would win by 10pts! Clearly, Cruz ran a poor campaign. After losing the Presidency, I don’t think his heart is in politics anymore.

That we lost three seats is amazing! Reagan lost 26 in his first term.

I don’t watch the MSM now. But I do read FR - guess will have to let up on that also.

The Texas general elections site has it down to 3.5% with Beto almost at 48%.

I don't like it either, but Cruz has already given his victory speech, and they're still counting votes from deeply red counties.

Heard a GOP prognosticator on the radio say that Cruz should finish up with about a 6% margin.

I think you are right. Here is the Florida count for early voting and VBM/absentee voting, in it they include absentee voting:

Numbers released Monday morning by the state’s Division of Elections show a total of over 5.1 million people had either taken part in early voting or had mailed in their absentee ballots. Another 1.1 million absentee ballots that were requested had not been submitted as of this weekend.

Nearly 13.2 million people are registered to vote in the state of Florida according to the Division of Elections as of September 30th.

Democrats have cast 2.06 million ballots. Republicans have cast 2.04 million. More than 948,000 voters with no party affiliation have also voted.

This year’s totals far exceed those of 2014 midterms, but are still short of the 6.6 million who voted ahead of Election Day in 2016.

I still think that you should not be able to call house races before the polls close on the west coast. I think Fox blew this and I am seriously giving up on their station.

President Trump saved his ass from getting creamed. I think Cruz just expected he would win

>>>Manchin really was the more likeable candidate if that’s what you’re looking at and most people are sadly. But Morrisey was awful.

I do agree with you there. I'm from Texas but I met him last year at the scout jamboree when Trump came in. I was working for the task force. He walked up to me and said "Hello, I am Patrick Morrisey, I'm YOU'RE attorney General." I knew nothing about WV politics....but I knew right then and there he must be running for governor or Senate. And I thought...what a goober. My AG is Ken Paxton dude...carry on.

Brown (pro Hagedorn) is only reporting 8 of 32 precincts. That’s good news.

But Feehan’s lead is now up to about 700 votes.

AZ-1 close but we trail by 3 with over half in.

KS-2 is a hold, skin of teeth.

Disappointed to see that South Carolina 1st District may flip blue.

88% reporting and only a 400 vote advan for the Dem so far.
