**Election Day 2014 - LIVE THREAD**

Free Republic Rocks! | November 4, 2014

[RKBA Democrat]

Happy Election Day everyone! I figured I'd go ahead and get the election day thread started. Polls open on the east coast in a little less than an hour.

Please be sure to post observations of interest if you went to the polls today.

You ain’t kidding! The prospect of having a Republican governor here in IL is like getting out from under a death sentence. There’s a lot of work to be done, but now at last there is (forgive the expression), hope. I’ll be buzzin’ for months.

Projecting Alaska, Louisiana....wherever I guess

Thanks for the link.

I’m constantly reloading the other one, watching the MD gov race.

I’m a nervous wreck.

I had *no* idea there was any hope at all, until now.

Sounds like it.

As of this post time:

Senate: Republicans have locked up 52 seats, ahead in 0 more
Senate: Democrats have locked up 43 seats, ahead in 2 more

House: Republicans have locked up 227 seats, ahead in 15 more
House: Democrats have locked up 145 seats, ahead in 40 more

Governors: Republicans have locked up 26 seats, ahead in 7 more
Governors: Democrats have locked up 13 seats, ahead in 2 more

Okay, so with McCain and his Senate Spouse Graham, we break even at this point.

Oops, that was 97 Senate seats are being addressed here.  Excuse me.

We may get more than 53 by the end of the night.  Hopefully we can pick up a couple of the three not mentioned yet.


I would like to invite folks to use the Los Angeles Times Senate, House, and Nationwide State Gubantorial candidate breakdowns.  It's a fairly good indicator of where things are headed.

Note: Make sure ALL is selected.  Then you can click on Senate, House, or Governors

These categories show current wins and gains.  (Ex: Republican = 44 +4 / Democrats = 38 +2)  Note: + denotes leading in that many races in addition to already locked up

Carol Shea-Porter (D) just called Frank Guinta (R) to concede the loss of her House seat (NH-1). GOP pickup.

I’m seeing the overall numbers, but not individual ones.

Hopefully someone will see your question and chime in.

Fox thinks Virginia will be within 1% but still wont project. There’s going to be a recount

[Jane Long]

Megyn doing her *hall walk*, again. Reprise of the 2012 walk.

My parents live in Ellison’s district..

I am sorry..

But they are getting up in the years..

However, even after their passing I am afraid they will still vote.
