1. I think the magic number was

25. Are all house seat race results in?

[manor321]

3. Magic number was 23

4. I read this morning that 21 races are still being counted

Democrats should get at least 5 of those.

[manor321]

2. Republicans looking to pick up 3 Senate seats at the moment

AZ will likely decide if it is 3 or 2 but the Republican is ahead

[question everything]

5. I thought that the R gained at least three

Indiana, N. Dakota and Missouri.

And FL, maybe?

[marylandblue]

6. They lost NV, so if AZ flips, net gain of 2.

10. What's taking so long in AZ?

Will there be an automatic recount?

[grantcart]

12. Almost a million people got mail in ballots and walked them in

They need to be certified and then counted. It will take days


A lot of Dems walked in their ballot out of an abundance of caution as anything post marked after the 31st is not allowed.

We think we are going to win and there is no need for a recount

[question everything]

14. What about FL?

[marylandblue]

15. Now in recount, but that rarely changes anything

Though, you never know.

7. "Democrats flip six State Legislative Chambers"

"New York Senate
Colorado Senate
Maine Senate
Minnesota House
New Hampshire House and Senate "

8. Indeed - thanks for that link.

9. Democrats also gained in both houses in Connecticut

the state Senate was tied 18-18 and it's currently 21-12 Democrats with 3 seats outstanding.

state House was 80-71 Democrat and I think Dems picked up 8 or 9 seats at least.

[blitzen]

11. It will be 34 or 35 House seats! Which I'm sure most of us would have considered a great victory.

About nine races where Dems have solid leads, just not called yet.

[marylandblue]

13. 35 is about the number predicted by 538

16. Good...I was sick when reading 26 in the header

I went to sleep at 6 AM thinking it would be low 30s. I thought maybe something awful happened and we lost many close ones
