Isn't it possible that NY-25 could still go to the GOP as well? Maffei leads by just 2,196 votes. The county that still has to report 40% of their precincts is Wayne and Buerkle has nearly a 3,400 vote lead in that county through the first 60%... I don't know anything about the county so I may be wrong.. but it seems possible for the GOP to pick this one up too.. It should be very close. What does everyone else think?
It looks like the GOP will get 64 seats net, winning IL-08, the Ortiz seat in Texas TX-27 I think (that must be the biggest upset of the night), CA-20, and WA-02. They have a chance to win 65 seats if they get lucky in CA-11, but that appears less likely than not, unless after those silly 2 or 3 precincts in Santa Clara County which remain out (why haven't they been counted, what is the problem?), and as is likely, Harmer is behind (by 72 projected votes), he makes it up with the late absentees and military ballots. I suppose that is possible. This one might be up in the air for weeks.
In WA-2, per my spreadsheet projection, Koster has about a 1,700 projected pad when all the projected votes are in, and that will be very tough to make up with late absentees being that heavily more disproportionately Dem vis a vis what came before in each county. In IL-08, of the remaining projected 2,140 votes out, Bean would have to carry that by 69%, as opposed to the 55.5% she has been getting in Cook County so far (which is the only county with votes out). I don't think so.
