the early vote still look good for dems in nv and not that good in fl.  both are still basically consistent with toss up races.  if you want to make a bet based on early voting, nv 4 looks like decent odds.

i think the previous links still take you to today's updates.  dems had a big last day of evoting in nevada, probably moves that race from 50% rosen (polls) to about 65% rosen (polls + evote).  no movement on florida, i think 60% gillum, 50% nelson is still about right.

If anyone should appreciate how remarkable this is, it's the "have you ever been to Texas?" Beto skeptics.

Well Wacks, I don't know much more than what I've read which would suggest Dems take the house. The surge in young voter turnout would support that belief, IMO.

old voters are surging too.  2018 is shaping up to be a very high turnout for a midterm and 2014 was a very low turnout for a midterm.  those stats don't tell you much, imo.

good discussion of the sat evote in florida in today's installment.  dems had a good day, but that was baked in, so no change to expectations.  evoting is over in nevada.

The Dem recipe of zero ideas and hate to make America suck again should fail miserably to win either the senate or the house.   :driving:

for some time, i've been skeptical of the notion that money moves high profile races much.  but if it's true that the generic ballot poll is unchanged over the few weeks (it's true) and that toss up races are moving to dems (it may or may not be true), then the idea that money is moving those races is a pretty reasonable hypothesis.

My final predictions, based upon my highly sophisticated computer models, are that if the election were held today, Pubs have a 77.59% chance of holding the House with a net Dem gain of 18 seats. If this doesn’t come to pass, it is because the election is not until tomorrow, and I did say the Dems have a 22.41% chance.

On the Senate side, Pubs hold AZ and NV, and pick up ND, MO, IN, MT, and FL (margins biggest to smallest). (Oh - and I think DeSantis wins FL Gov, btw).

On the Kansas side, Yoder prevails in a squeaker and Your New Governor Kris Kobach wins by a fairly comfortable 4-5pts.

On the media coverage side, expect any Dem gains, large or small, to be breathlessly reported as a Major Rebuke to President Trump.

On the political side, the best outcomes for Dems would be either massive wave election gains of 40+ seats in the house, or to narrowly fail to capture the House. The worst outcomes would be for Pubs to gain house seats, or for the Dems t narrowly retake the House by less than 5 votes (giving them just enough control to go full battshit, but not enough to actually get anything meaningful passed).

I think the demoncraps will control the house by about 30 seats. The republicans will control the senate by 2-4 seats.

GET OUT AND VOTE:  It won't change anything in the government and your life will be exactly the same as before regardless of who wins, but you can get some likes on social media by posting a selfie of yourself with your "I Voted" sticker.

And don't forget to subtly insult those of your friends/followers who have not yet posted an "I Voted" selfie.

Had to google the incel thing. Never heard of that word before. Agree the MAGAs are being underestimated, and a significant portion of the "record turnout" in early voting.

Speaking of turnout, Dilbert Guy has a good one on the subject of "what does it say about your party when increasing turnout among the least experienced and most naive voters is key to your political fortunes?" It says a lot, IMO.

I'm not quite this optimistic.  I think Dems win House by a couple but do not think it's going to be a landslide.  I'll stick with my Pub pickup of +2 in Senate.  Maybe 3?
