How To Tell If The Senate's In Play Tonight
American Spectator ^ | 11/2/2010 | John Tabin

We probably will not know the final composition of the Senate tomorow. Washington State only counts half of its ballots on election night (the rest are mail-in), so that race probably won't be called until later in the week -- and even then it might be close enough to trigger an automatic recount.

There may be recounts in other states, too. But we will get an early indicator of whether Republicans have a shot of taking the Senate.

The Dems probably have three or four moving vans of misplaced ballots waiting to be counted.

The Senate is NOT in play, so don’t worry about it. Besides that would be the worst thing to happen if we took it over.

Yeah. I don’t remember nearly as much media hand-wringing in 1994.

They seemed very shocked.

I fully expect that within the next three weeks we will hear about hundreds of illegal alien voters, hundreds of the dead who somehow voted, and dozens of felons who illegally voted. Sam Reed has already announced that through an error in his office many ballots were sent to 17-yearolds too young to vote by mistake.

Point 1: How can ballots be sent to people too young to even register? If they were, then those 17 year olds who registered could and should be prosecuted for voter fraud. Ballots are NOT sent out to anyone other than registered voters.

Point 2: The Secretary of State's office, since the last voting debacle (Rossi/Gregoiere) has removed over 600,000!!! names of felons and dead people from the WA state voter registration lists. That leaves a lot less cover for the King County Rats' shenanigans.

I think they thought the fix was in for keeps. But their models very conveniently excluded exactly that category of voter who overturned everything. That’s not so true anymore, though it does seem that even the truly responsible pollsters are having difficulty predicting turnout due to enthusiasm on the one hand and embarrassment on the other. That’s why I think all polls, even Rasmussen, are skewed at least 3% to the wrong. Which is why I think O’Donnell is actually competitive and the race more interesting than some might think.

How interesting that exactly what we’re discussing is exactly what Rush just said.
