There are now six uncalled House races – Republicans lead in four. Ben Chandler’s opponent conceded in KY-6. Republicans scored a net gain of 60 seats on Election Night and that could rise to around 64.
All of these seats are held by Democrats. Republican wins would add to the number of freshmen – anywhere from 93 to 97 (including nine Democrats), depending on the outcomes of these races.

So what is the score on these past-Nov 3rd races anyway? Do Republicans have a good chance at these, or will they only be called once the Democrat ends up with a lead?
Thanks. I was just searching for something about this.
Here are how the undecided stand right now:
CA-11: Democrat Jerry McNerny leads Republican David Harmer by 1,778 votes.
CA-20: Democrat Jim Costa leads Republican Andy Vidak by 1,107 votes.
IL-8: Republican Joe Walsh leads Democrat Melissa Bean by 347 votes. The final outcome should be known this week.
NY-1: Republican Randy Altschuler leads Democrat Tim Bishop by 392 votes.
NY-25: Republican Mary Ann Buerke leads Democrat Dan Maffei by 739 votes.
NC-3: Republican Renee Ellmers leads Democrat Bob “The Choker” Ethridge by 1,489 votes. She’s expected to win, but a recount is likely.
TX-27: Republican Blake Farenthold leads veteran Democrat Solomon Ortiz by 797 votes. A hand recount will soon begin.
Check Posting #4, which should be helpful to you.
It all depends if the Rat’s starting bussing in union thugs.
Bobby Etheridge is the Lillington Strangler. Get it right.
I’d like to share my disgust at the 8,000 idiots who voted AIP in CA-11, and thus may have keep the seat with the donkey. Throwing your vote away is stupid.
The TEA party worked their tails off for Harmer.
So, 4/6 means that GOP will be lucky to hang onto one of them.
“Bobby Etheridge is the Lillington Strangler. Get it right.”
OK, I’ll remember. Bobby Ethridge has clearly been drunk with power. Hopefully, he’ll soon just be a civilian drunk.
I think you’re overly optimistic. From what I’ve seen if there is less than a 50,000 vote lead the democrats will find the votes to pull it out. The latest examples being CT, WA and Nevada while not that close is pretty ripe with fraud. If the new Congress, all of the new state legislatures and Governors don’t make one of their top priorities election fraud and insisting on voters showing proof of eligibility fair elections will be more likely in Zimbabwe than here.
so:
WA-2 Larsen
VA-11 Connolly
KY-6 Chandler
all went DEM, leaving 7 undecided listed above. I, too, am disgusted with AIP in CA-11.
WA2-Larsen was not really that close in the end.
Well it was still a 2 point race.
Larsen won by about 5 K.
Connolly and Barr conceded. (the opponents conceding seems to be the criterion for the media “calling” the late race if if they’re close)
With the giving up of the ghost by BEAN (ding dong the witch is dead, has been since election night) we’re at 240.
With TX-27 and the 2 NY seats (and avoiding shenainagans in already called NC seat) it should end up being 243-192. 3 shy of the mark of 246 elected in 1946. A net gain of 64 (67 rat seats gained minus 3 GOP seats).
Can hardly be disappointed with the best result in many decades but I would have liked at least 10-20 more. ;d
Scuse me, Fimian conceded in VA-11. Connolly is of course the rat.
Buerkle and Farenthold are in good shape.
Altschuler is probably only 40/60 at this point. Early indications are that he is losing too many Republican absentee voters.
So I think the final gain will be +63, or +64 is Altschuler manages to hold on.
Larsen is ahead by 6517. I would call that close, but not “very close”. About 25 House races were closer.
The Senate races had more dissapointments. The ‘Rats strategy of distract & distort worked there. I suppose that we’re better off with ‘Rats holding the Senate as Obama won’t be able to campaign against the GOP Congress, a la Harry Truman 1948.
In upstate New York, Mary Ann Buerkle increased her lead to 824 votes.
On Long Island, it’s in the other direction, where Randy Altschuler’s lead is at 356 votes, down slightly.
New York also has a a couple of state Senate races in doubt, which will decide control of that chamber.
