Voter suppression; voter roll purges; gerrymandering; and, yes, outright electronic vote flipping.

These miscreants will stop at nothing.

So taking that into account, a 30-seat gain would be very welcome (and 30 would probably be 60, were it not for the aforementioned cheating).

See 538 or less so RCP.

Of course mass media has to keep things a horse race...can you imagine the corporstemlosses if it was a real runaway election and folks stopped being glued to the TV for weeks and weeks? Not to mention the massive election ad spending drop.

Very wishy washy analysis. Said we might not even win the house? WTF? We must win the house.

Either they'd never met before, or they were told to create a close race to boost viewership.
