As in most people knew we wouldn’t take the Senate but we can take the House.

Most of the big Democratic areas in Indiana haven't even reported in:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/06/us/elections/results-indiana-elections.html

The Republican jumped out to an early lead because of the Republican areas that closed their polls on time at 6pm ET whereas several Democratic areas extended their polls by an hour because voters were still in line.

Republicans distrust media and distrust pollsters and anything they view as anti-Trump.

When there is polling error it is likely to be in that red direction. I mentioned that here and elsewhere many times.

I wish the opposite were true but as a handicapper I can't ignore the trends.

I live a mile away from the state line, across the border from Lake County. I have family there. They tried so hard.

This sucks, and it sucks for all of the people in Lake County. Fuck this bible-beating state!
