We may end up +1 or +2 but we dumped hundreds of millions into races we lost by double digits - races that were so far from winnable we ought to have ignored them and put that money in battlegrounds for Joe.

Collins is under 50%, that will trigger the ranked choice. If she drops enough, Gideon could pull it off on the second pass.

Ossoff's numbers are similar to Bidens, I think. If Atlanta's outstanding votes break D, he might benefit. Is there a libertarian in the race that might deny a majority? If so it could go to runoff like Warnock/Leffler.

Maine - Collins is leading but under 50, so would trigger ranked choice.
GA - Ossoff behind, but large amount outstanding in Atlanta.
GA Special - Run-off.
NC - Looks like Tillis won, but still there's a narrow path with absentees coming in.

I'm not optimistic, but there's still a path.

Gonna be a nailbiter but Joe is in a better position than Trump at this point.

They said +8 to +17 for Joe in Wisconsin just within the last week or two. He is gonna squeak by with a half a percent or so.

It was showing 5mil cast and 7 mil total.
I think it was saying the 7 mil was the total registered voters.

But there is still a week to return absentees in North Carolina, I think.

Just before I fell asleep last night I heard one of the talking heads say we might pull that one out.
