Prediction '14: The Senate will be an even split, with Uncle Joe Biden being the deciding vote. Yeah, it's a horror story.
Prediction '14: The Senate will go to the GOP, 53-47.
Sabato says 51-49 is his optimistic call. That's after Alaska is decided and a run off in LA. He's usually close. When everyone on the Fox News and GOP side were gushing Romney would win, Sabato was telling them that Obama would win with 51% of the vote. He turned out to be the closest. The fact is there are too many too close to call races the GOP once again is too optimistic about. We know close races are won by demoncrats. These Senate races are Statewide elections, as opposed to a House race which can be monitored closely. The demoncrats control the urban poll sites and can easily fudge the results in a few districts to make up for the reduced Dem turn out. It will be a long night. I am just not optimistic of what the talking heads are touting.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12)
All because of the "dead" voters that come out in record numbers to support those dipsticks! Still haven't figured out how they get a ride from the cemetery to the voting stations?
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
About two hours to polls closing. Exit polls now released.

Some of them were released about 4PM or so Eastern, haven't heard what they said though.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Basically 34% people exiting voting against Obama. 24% for Obama policies. The 2010 wave election had a 37% no vote for Obama. First polls close in a few mins.

McConnell an early call holding seat. Surprise with VA being too close to call. Gillespie was down by double digits and making it a race.

In Georgia: R D. Perdue 61.4% 62,415 D M. Nunn 36.9% 37,541 L A. Swafford 1.6% 1,661
Virginia Senate Election, November 4, 2014 Detailed Results 40.8% Reporting Tweet In Virginia: R E. Gillespie 51.9% 411,913 D M. Warner (i) 45.6% 361,717 L R. Sarvis 2.5% 20,023
In West Virginia: R Winner S. Capito 60.9% 11,872 D N. Tennant 36.5% 7,112 L J. Buckley 1.3% 256 M B. Baber 1.0% 190 C P. Hudok 0.4% 74
Yeah VA was quite a Shrimp Surprise. Hope it holds out.

Tim Scott is well ahead in the SC. special election.
Now winner. So that is a hold.

Looks like we are the only ones in LF election HQs:)

Net +2 with Cotton winning.

http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/the-crystal-balls-final-2014-picks/ Larry Sabato's final prediction was 53-47R. +8R in the Senate and +9R in the House. I would note that I also predicted both Obama wins and got called a Communist. I believe that Nate Silver at 538 called the last election closest, correctly predicting all 50 states. These Senate races are Statewide elections, as opposed to a House race which can be monitored closely. The demoncrats control the urban poll sites and can easily fudge the results in a few districts to make up for the reduced Dem turn out. There are many close races. It is quite possible that there will be several runoff elections (GA/LA) if nobody gets over in those states. Turnout for the Dems will be down. Student debt exceeds the national credit card debt. Lots of formerly enthusiastic youth voters are still living with their parents or have moved back in. Approval of the economy is about 40% underwater. Obamacare and Obama on [non] border control are owned by the Democrats. There are Senate races in a number of states that Romney won.
Mark Pryor has been a dead man walking since Obamacare.
This race tightened up over the past four or five days. Warner will gain lots of votes when the VA northeast (outside D.C) reports. A week or so ago this was a double-digit Dem lead. It speaks to the election trend that this race may be very close.
Count NH. Was a bit of a long shot.

SD +3 GOP
Montana should put it at +4.

Raw vote tightening in R way in NC.

WV (+1); SD (+2); AR (+3) I am and have been pessimistic about trying to sell a carpetbagger in NH. It looks like NC may go Dem as it has been leaning slightly. I am optimistic about AK (+4); GA (+5); LA (+6); IA (+7) Cautiously optimistic CO (+8) KS looks to be close but probably an R hold. VA may go R.
Yes.
Roberts raw score ticked up a bit a few mins ago. Following on Fox but also Real Clear.

Warner in VA is now apparently up a smidgen when the current vote in Fairfax county is added in. LA is projected to go to a runoff.
YES CO! +4

CO goes R (Fox only at this time) Edit: you beat me by a few seconds!
MT goes R (+5) [Fox and CNN)
VIRGINIA: Voting Machines Malfunction & Democrats Getting 'Nervous' The Republican Party of Virginia informed the Virginia Department of Elections that, “Voters have difficulty selecting the candidate of their choice using the touch screen because the screen’s touch sensor is not properly aligned with the text that appears on the screen." Meanwhile, Democrats are reportedly getting "nervous" about Sen. Mark Warner's (D-VA) race against Ed Gillespie.
Voters Report Slew of Problems at Polling Places It wouldn't be election day without problems at polling places. In Connecticut, voting machines were broken and registration books missing. In D.C., thieves stole digital voter books. In New Mexico, dead people received absentee ballots. No word yet on how often people in Cook County have voted.
Reportedly, voters in Cook County always vote early and often.
CBS projects Perdue in GA Edit: This is a hold, not a pickup, still +5.
CBS projects Roberts hold in KS. The door to a Senate Dem hold is just about shut.
Roberts wins Kansas!
Scott Brown not conceding in NH!
Perdue takes Georgia!
It looks like Tillis may defeat Hagan in NC.
Roberts projected to a double-digit win.
