Current House Race Status...Running Tally -- And Fetterman Won The PA Senate Race!!

RIP U.S. Democracy said:
Gerrymandering is one of the worse things that has ever happened in this country.

That's why the GOP hasn't kicked out the crazies -- because they can still win the House, thanks to gerrymandering.

DeSantis' gerrymandering in FL may have been enough for the Repugs to barely take the House. What an asshole.

I know you aren't suggesting gerrymandering is a new thing as it's been an ugly part of elections forever. And of course, both parties have been guilty of doing it whenever they can get away with it. But close to home, the rigging that affects me is Ohio where our congressional and state seats are so badly gerry mandered in favor of republicans that even a state constitutional amendment has yet to fix it.
 
Republicans are poised to pickup a new district as well -- TX-15.

De La Cruz (R) has a 13,000 vote lead with 99% counted.


Republicans may pickup an open seat in WI as well -- WI-3

The Republican is leading WI-3 52% - 48% with 75% of the votes counted.

Those are the only other 2 close races that I'm aware of, besides the ones that I listed in post #18.

Both parties have done it, but Republicans are far worse.

WI may be the worst gerrymandered state. Even if Democrats won 60% of the vote there, the Republicans can still keep control of the state legislature. Just ridiculous.
 
Johnson is only slightly favored to win the WI Senate race right now. Barnes still has a decent chance.

Barnes is losing by 27,000 votes, but there is still a lot of votes to count in the Madison and Milwaukee areas.

Same here in Ohio.
A few months back, the New Yorker did a long story addressing the issue of How did a bellwether state like Ohio, generally moderate politically, become a bastion of far right christian based politics with one of the most restrictive abortion laws on record, and worse to dome?

The answer of course was rampant gerry mandering and the republicans in charge eager to whore themselves out to the fringe christian right.

Yep, it's really confounding. I just don't get it.

Are white blue collar workers there stupid enough to think that the Republicans are going to make their lives better? I guess they weren't paying attention during the economic crashes in 2008 under Bush and 2020 under Trump.
 
Current House Pick-Up Tally, according to the Washington Post:

Republicans: 5 definite pickups (4 in FL, 1 in VA). +1 overall

Republicans have slight leads in 10 races in Democratic-held districts: AZ-2, AZ-6, CA-13, IA-3, NY-3, NY-4, NY-17, NY-19, NJ-7, and OR-5.

Republicans also have slight leads in 2 new/open districts: TX-15 and WI-3


Democrats: 4 definite pickups (NC-13, TX-34, IL-13, and OH-1).

Democrats have slight leads in 6 races in Republican-held districts: AZ-1, CO-3, CO-8, MI-3, NM-2, and WA-3.


There is only 1 additional Democratic-held seat left that is potentially still up for grabs. The vote counting is still in the early stages or too close to determine the leader. --

CA-9

There are also 2 additional Republican-held seats left that are potentially still up for grabs. The vote counting is still in the early stages or too close to determine the leader. --

Republicans have won NY-3, according to the Washington Post. And Democrats have won MI-3.

That is a pickup for both. Republicans still have a net gain of 1 House seat.

The Democrats are winning two critical Secretary of State races in AZ and NV.

Both of the Repugs running in these two races are full-blown MAGA election deniers. It would be disastrous if either one of them won and were charge of elections in AZ or NV.

However, they are both underperforming the two Republican Senate candidates in AZ and NV, so it looks like both of these MAGA election deniers will lose.

The polls before this election stated that Republicans were going to win Independents by 8% - 10%.

However, I just heard on MSNBC that Democrats won Independents by 2% in the vote tally so far.

It just shows you that the pollsters currently have NO IDEA what they are talking about anymore.
 
According to the Washington Post, the Democrats also have a shot at winning these 2 additional House seats in CA:

CA-3 (new/open)
CA-40 (Republican-controlled)

Neither seat was considered competitive before the election.

Remember how Trumpworld laughed at Biden's speech about democracy being in danger? I don't see many in Trumpworld laughing this morning.

And that's about the time Obama came out from behind his Professors ropes, and started his tour. Obama reminded the base and college students what was at stake if they got lazy, and Biden reminded the centrists, the older voters, and the blue collar workers. Notice that the Clintons kept a low profile. Roe was going to duplicate any possible good Hillary might accomplish among women, and Bill might as well have died already.
 
The Republicans have won WI-3, which was a new/open seat. They are now up +2

Democracy isn't going anywhere, never was. Stop with the over the top, fear and loathing strategies. It isn't good for America. The true threat to democracy is a continued destruction of America's values, morals, traditions, patriotism and position as the world power.
 
Looks like the Republicans have picked-up NY-1 and NY-17.

I'm not sure why Sean Maloney (D) in NY-17 already conceded. The Washington Post has not called that race yet.

Having come from a White, blue-collar family here in Ohio it continues to baffle me also that similarly situated folks could believe in folks like Trump and Trumpism. The issue seems to be more the fact that not only was Trumpism embraced by the rural counties, it was embraced by a huge margin of voters. I recognize that occurred in a lot of other states as well. Because you know, no one can represent the hard working family values of rural famers like a billionaire born into wealth and privilege, draft dodger, philanderer, tax cheat and all around fraudster who brags about himself incessantly.
 
Washington Post predicts that the Democrats will probably win CA-13 and NM-2.

They also predict that the Republicans will probably win AZ-1, AZ-2, and AZ-6.
 
WA-8 is also a very competitive Democratic-controlled seat. Caraveo (D) is leading, but the Washington Post is predicting that Kirkmeyer (R) has a probable chance of winning.
