2017/2018 US Senate Election- Republican held US Senate seats Democrats could win.

2017
AL-if Democratic GOTV and turnout is high-Jones-D has a chance.
2018
AZ
NV
TN-if likely Democratic nominee-James Mackler-D gets DSCC funding. The last time a TN US Senate Race was very close was in 2006. Harold Ford Jr.-D received 48 percent and Bob Corker-R received 51 percent in that race. The 2018 Republican nominee will be a right-wing conservative unlike Alexander-R and Corker-R. Mackler-D has more crossover appeal than Ford-D.

Should we give US Territories American Samoa,Guam,Puerto Rico,Northern Mariana Island and

US Virgin Islands the ability to vote in the US Presidential Election like the District of Columbia.
American Samoa,Guam,Puerto Rico,Northern Mariana Island and US Virgin Islands each get 3 electoral votes in the electoral college increasing the Electoral vote total from 538 to 553 plus give Puerto Rico another 4 electoral votes due to population. 557evs.
Should we give US House Members from District of Columbia,American Samoa,Guam,Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Island and US Virgin Islands voting power in the US House. Total number of seats in the US House increases from 435 to 445. This gives the Democratic Party 10 additional seats in the US House.
Should we give District of Columbia,American Samoa,Guam,Puerto Rico,Northern Mariana Island and Virgin Islands their 2 US Senators increasing the total number of US Senators from 100 to 112. Democrats could end up with 60 seats in the US Senate.
