NATIONAL SENATE/HOUSE RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

[Antonio the Sixth]

Ok, so it seems it comes down to three. Here is what the NYT projects :


Colorado

88% reporting

Bennet leads by 7556 votes (0.46%)

Most of the votes yet to be counted come from Arapahoe (11% rep) and Boulder (72%) counties, both of which have Bennet ahead.


Washington

62% reporting

Murray leads by 14005 votes (0.98%)

Most of the votes yet to be counted come from King (55%, Murray ahead), Yakima (47%, Rossi ahead), Okanogan (50%, Rossi), Skagit (56%, Rossi), Clallam (56%, Rossi), Douglas (56%, Rossi), Franklin (55%, Rossi), Stevens (51%, Rossi), Spokane (42%, Rossi) and Whitman (53%, Rossi) counties.


Alaska

99% reporting

Write-Ins lead by 13588 (6.8%). It is likely to estimate than a sufficient share of them are for Murkowski.

As usual, no borough results in Alaska.


I think we can safely project that Bennet will win the Colorado race, same for Murkowski. Washington still looks pretty uncertain, but an almost 1% lead should be pretty hard for Rossi to overcome.
When would you think those 3 races will be called ?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Wow, Bennet just doubled his lead : now at 0.9%.

[Antonio the Sixth]

How comes Washington is so slow to count its votes ? Since I woke up the reporting % has remained at 62...

[Antonio the Sixth]

Colorado has now been called for Bennett.

Yeah, and Murray is increasing her lead in Washington with 71% reporting.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, Miller can't hope to overcome a 7-points lead with a few ill-spelled votes. I understand the media's cautiousness (it ain't done until it's done), but it's hard to see how he could win.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Washington has been called for Murray with 80% reporting. I'm still not 100% convinced about this one, but Rossi would need to win the remaining vote by over 55% to win the race.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Harry Reid ended up winning Searchlight by just 3 votes. 

Only 3 votes ? That's certainly one of the poorest "home turf effects" ever.
