It really should be illegal to broadcast exit polls until voting is completely over. nation-wide Exit polls can influence the election.

And yes, this would bring up the first amendment but surely you can outlaw exit polls on the basis of election interference.

Fox also has 47% saying "Trump is a strong leader"

Stop.

I'm watching Fox. Fox have not shown many numbers. Stop making sh**t up.

lol 10 minutes ago Drudge had their Siren at the top of their page, with text reading: "BLUE WAVE BUILDING", which I found very strange as we just barely began.

They have since removed the Siren.

All these fluid live metrics and meters are ridiculous. (Not in a good way).

lol 538 has GOP chances of the House at 24% after being down to 8% an hour ago. Again, ridiculous. It tells us nothing other than a snapshot of where we are right now.

Dems freaking out about Florida need to wait about 30 minutes and chill out.

Wanna bet?

I don't know you. But there's something really intriguing about you.

I do hope you're right about tonight.

Are there any House seats that the GOP may be able to flip?

Has anyone reported on what's going on with Manchin? If he wins, while four better-placed D's lose...

Do you think his support of Kavanaugh will be responsible for Manchin's victory tonight?

Looks like it was a major tactical mistake for Democrats to go to the mat in opposing Kavanaugh's nomiantion. Donnelly and Nelson have lost while the one D Senator who voted for him is cruising to re-election.

I don't know how I can live in a world where people get punished for voting against people credibly accused of attempted rape.

It's sickening.

No one was credibly accused of rape (or sexual assault of any kind). That's exactly the problem.

CNN hasn't called the House yet. Is it, by their estimate, too close to call? Or are they after views and ratings by keeping the election artificially going? hmmm......

LOL, I couldn't care less if Dems "underperform expectations" or not. They won the House. Therefore they won. Enjoy the "optics" circlejerk conservatives, I'll be enjoying killing the Trump/Republican agenda for at least 2 years.

LOL, exactly! The GOP can sit on their hands for the next two years. Their +2 in the Senate or whatever will be real useful when they can't pass a single bill!

Gridlock was expected going into tonight.

Laugh all you want, but it blocks conviction of Impeachment, and it ensures any further justices on SCOTUS, should there be further openings. And it provides building blocks for 2020. The GOP base is right behind Trump. GOP has the last laugh on this.

It does mean that in the short term. But over the longer term, all it means is that the Senate is an illegitimate legislative institution and that Dems will in the future prioritize reforming it along actual democratic representative lines.

I always find it amusing when opponents of Republicans complain that the system is against them. Seems a bit childish, with all due respect.
