2014 US Congressional Election Results

[Representative Joe Mad]

Am I the only Dem who is starting to find the results of tonight kinda funny? Especially Virginia.

Sorta, though the results obviously are not what I wanted to see.  I'm just surprised how off all the polling was.

[7,052,770]

Keep your heads up, Dems. We basked in their sweet, sweet tears 2 years ago, and we'll do it again in 2 years.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Ernst up 50-46 with 60% in.  They need to call this race so I can go to bed...

[SPC]

I imagine this must sway any late-voting undecideds in Alaska...

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Tonight is brutal. Just brutal. I mean, we can't "win" every election but are there ANY bright spots for us tonight?

We have a star that's going to hang on in NH, your stereotypical horrible GOPer going down in flames in PA, and the the door is open for progressives to really take over the Democratic Party.  Those are the bright spots.

[Consciously Unconscious]

lolDemocrats.

We are back, America.

When the dust settles it will be fun to do a full analysis of polling in this election.  

Eh, there is a tendency to exaggerate how much polls suck after wave elections, but on the whole I see 2-3 (VA Sen, CO Sen and WI Gov) statewide races out of the top 20 where the result of vote is outside the margin of error. Not bad at all, considering there were 30-ish heavily polled races. The only thing that should probably die a quick death is "unskewing" polls.

GA-Sen and GA-Gov?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

We are back, America.  

Ugh.  Lovely.

[Consciously Unconscious]

But the GOP is dead!!!

[Maistre]

NM called for the smart Udall by MSNBC.

[Vosem]

Where is our good friend OC?

Yeah, I wanna know what seats are guaranteeing Democratic control of the Senate?

We are back, America. 

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Ernst up 50-46 with 60% in.  They need to call this race so I can go to bed...

It's called for Ernst, Bushie. You can go get your daily recommended 13 hours of beauty sleep now.

This is nuts. Progressives aren't a majority in this country, not even close, is the sad reality. This is a wake-up call like 1994 that we need to meet the electorate where it is or face an even worse fate.

[RogueBeaver]

AP calls NC for Tillis. Wow, just wow.

[SPQR]

Also Lousiana is waaaay off the mark wrt to polls.

[Vosem]

And like that, Katko and Zeldin have checkmarks. Republicans are sitting at R+8; we've made up 2012; and we still have way more upside.

[ilikeverin]

Chris Van Hollen is narrowly behind...

The future House Democratic leader? I can't believe he'll lose. If he does, it would be a bigger upset than Cantor. Not going to happen.

Back ahead, but not by much. Wtf is going on there?

Turnout in Maryland can round down to zero. I think we'll be seeing a call for the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Larry Hogan, soon. In western news, Ed Perlmutter has been reelected (as has Diana DeGette, obviously) but Jared Polis is still in a mortal struggle with his no-name opponent; with 46% in, he leads just 53-47.

EDIT: Stefanik just got the checkmark. Zeldin and Katko will be joining her very soon -- but for all of Torie's enthusiasm, with 78% in, Maloney is leading Hayworth 51-47. In NY-25, 100% is in but there is no call for Slaughter, and there could well be a recount.

You're right that it seems to be a turnout thing in large part, although I think there's still enough vote left in MontCo and PGC that Brown isn't doomed yet.  Still, definitely unsettling.

[sg0508]

Rep. Tim Bishop (D- NY 1) finally goes down after all these years. 

[Torie]

Tillis wins NC per Fox News.

Mahoney in NY-18 must be a very talented politician (who may win and is ahead as Vosem says), since otherwise NY has been a Dem disaster.

[RR1997]

Fox News has called NC for Tillis.

[Consciously Unconscious]

Fox says Tillis gets NC.

[J. J.]

Fox:  Tillis wins in NC.  R +7

wtf Happened to Mark Warner?

[New_Conservative]

Tillis wins !!!!
