About 60-70% that the Dems will take the House, but very doubtful they can get the Senate, where the Democrats have to hold onto 25 seats while only nine Republican seats are being contested.
(Every 2 years all 435 House seats and 1/3 of the Senate seats are open)

Fingers crossed there is a large turnout of Dem voters.

I guess voting by paper will be safer than by computer.
