Just a reminder that initial results are probably going to look gnarly on election night. So if you don't want the heartburn it might be worth it to do a media blackout on election night.
We will once again see blue shifts as Dem-heavy early and absentee ballots get processed. And notably some of the key Senate races are in states that will be the slowest to count.
It wouldn't be shocking for example for the Senate balance to stand at 49R-47D on election night even if Democrats end up keeping the majority when all the votes are counted.
Given how close the races are this cycle, plus the delays, we may not know the Senate control for a few days and potentially not till December if Georgia goes to a runoff. House control should be known earlier
Final Sabato crystal ball forecast-
House: Republicans gain 24 seats.
Senate: Republicans gain 1 seat.
Governorships: Republicans gain 1.
All things considered an underperformance by Republicans if accurate.
I'm a tad more bullish on Dems holding the Senate.
Interestingly they have Dems winning the Nevada Senate race, but losing Pennsylvania and Georgia.
