This is better than 2010 by far IMO.
The number of highly contested senate races we cleaned up is extraordinary!
Last time we left a bunch on the table including Reid’s.
But yes, my greatest hopes were realized.
Still hoping chickenchoker from CO goes down.
And of course LA and AK go our way.
I spent the day as a poll watcher in McLean. Comstock won easily.
A green woman? ROTFLMAO
If there were any “calibration” issues, then I would demand a recount. Voter fraud must be destroyed (though I know it won’t be).
As I understand it, Virginia doesn't ever count the absentee unless they need to. Well, this time they need to. Look for that to happen in the next few days. After that, if the margin is still less than 1%, an automatic recount will happen. Look for that by the beginning of next week. So it will all be over by next Wednesday or Thursday.
What will probably happen is that if the absentees don't give Ed the victory, enough votes will be "found" to get past the 1% threshold and Ed will concede.
Ed got no outside help. He was out spent, AND OF ALL PEOPLE JOHN WARNER CAMPAIGNS FOR THE DEMOCRAT....!!!!!!!
