It is my birthday today, so I get to post the live thread. :)
Some places to watch:
Politico SenateReal Clear Politics
Henry Olsen tweeting that Braun is running 17% ahead of Mourdock in Miami county 14/31 precincts reporting.
Mourdock got 51% in 2012. 17+51 = 68%.
Todd Young got only 64% in 2018 when he beat Evan Bayh, and Young won by 10 points.
Yeah, this is a pretty (bleeping) big deal if this trend holds up.

Barr and Braun are up.
My small district had a turnout 33% above normal by 12 when I voted...
isn’t Indiana bi-sected by the time zone line?
a friend reports 2 democrats running against each other in CA.. because of the way CA changed their rules..
How the hell does that work?
something about the most vote getters in the primary.
how can 2 democrats running for the same senate seat on the ballot be right?
Braun wins going away. Just like Trump did in 2016.
First R flip of the night.
some of Indiana is on central time.
I would hope the people in the Florida Panhandle would be wise to the old ‘It’s all over’ trick by now.
Turnout maybe 70% in Iowa! Presidential election level.
Way too early; probably just rural areas, nothing meaningful yet.
Note that Lexington (Democrat bastion) ALWAYS holds its votes until late for the same reason Detroit, Philly, etc. do. Barr should be leading for the next several hours — with relatively few votes counted.
Many a close CD-6 race has been decided only in the wee hours and tonight won’t be any different in all probability.
Really? America got scared of winning, Trump was just a blip on USA’s road to full socialism, sad if true....hoping not so...
Where is your district?
A McLaren is a real car.
LS hasn’t posted in a couple hours. Desperate for info.
Happy birthday, Laz! I hope you get everything you want for your birthday, all nicely wrapped up. [Please, God!]
High turnouts. Doesn’t this benefit the DEMs more, like with 2008?
Called it earlier for Braun.
This is good news! R+1 electorate,
Me too, this year of all years.
But an early Gollum call, even if later proven wrong, can still serve the media’s purpose as far as influencing other states’ voters (Blue wave is ON!).
It’s particularly bad though when the state they are calling still has open polls.
Sure hope I’m wrong, but after 2 years of bashing Trump by the media, I doubt there are enough independents that haven’t been convinced Trump is an embarrassment.
People just can’t think for themselves, and simply swallow whatever the media is telling them. If the GOp has any chance of holding the house, they will need everyone who voted for Trump in 2016 to vote republican. Not sure that can happen.
