7. Senate shooting up... 32%

[Polybius]

9. The Senate chances at 538 likely dropped because of IN and TN

Still early though.

[Awsi Dooger]

13. 68% now

I wasn't prepared for this drop, not after we hit 95%

[Awsi Dooger]

14. Unbelievable...now 52.6%

I'm numb

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. Yup. Early, but...yikes

[pnwmom]

15. Now down to 1 in 2, with a 24 seat pick-up. nt

[Liberty Belle]

18. Shit. Now down to 2 in 5 for Dems in House.

3 in 5 for Reps. I want to vomit.

[NRaleighLiberal]

20. Wtf is going on? Getting wicked deja vu.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. STAY OFF OF 538

All it does is "live update" as data gets fed into it and there is a whole shitload of data that will be coming in all night long.

[Liberty Belle]

21. It just got better - now back to 4 in 7 for Dems in House.
