So it looks like two runoffs for both Senate seats in Georgia
Saw post about Susan Collins only at 50.5
I dont think Tillis/Cunningham race is called-do we still have any chance?
Finally, last night someone posted that we still had a chance in Alaska? I looked at vote totals and it doesnt seem possible to me.
Does anyone have any insights into any of this other than vote count totals which we can all look up.

But he says the outstanding vote in AK is rural mail-in and overwhelmingly blue, and that's why they haven't called it. So it's a remote outside chance, but still a chance.

(2,785 posts)The last I saw the margin there was over 51,000 that's a lot for a state with such a low population. Also AK is not like Georgia we get Alaska that would be like one that no one saw coming.

(609 posts)There is zero chance Alaska will turn blue. They are not Trump-like crazy there but they vote for anything that looks like "R." Carville is merely being a partisan.
Tillis/Cunningham is weird. I am a little confused why it is showing 95%. Yes, they can accept mail ballots for 3/4 days. Looks very hard to make up a margin of 75K+. This might be the one election USPS may have played a part. Tillis is the biggest idiot in NC. So disheartening.
NC is almost like FL. Always, a tease but never comes through.
Our best shot is GA. It is going to be a challenge though. Both the GOP candidates have lot of holes though. So, GA is the best bet. Abrams has done an outstanding job. I can never get over what happened in Maine. We have to lay the blame on Democrats on not taking care of that race. With due respects to Obama, I think Obama made a big mistake spending so much time in Florida. I am also going to lay some blame on Mrs. Obama for not even making a visit to Maine.
Let us do all we can to support the two Georgia seats. Obama will be very useful there. Stacy Abrams is a gem.
