Also, per the Sun-Sentinel, whatever the issue ends up being, in studies test voters “often overlooked races immediately beneath vertical instructions” — where Broward placed the Senate race. This violates best practices outlined by the US Election Assistance Commission: pic.twitter.com/OyQeHq0xkA

Crazy that Trump is talking more about Broward County now than when 17 people were shot and killed here.

I’m proud to announce we have a team of 7500 volunteer recount representatives available in FL. Reps will be deployed all over FL to make sure any potential issues are reported so they can be quickly reviewed and resolved. We won't allow unethical liberals to steal this election!

FL voters approved restoring voting rights to felons. Desmond Meade, an advocate for Amendment 4, said “you could lose your rights for life over something as simple as driving with a suspended license” in Florida. He’s correct. https://t.co/v1eWNeW0DB pic.twitter.com/WSogkoqri0

Florida GOP's history of voter suppression:

Illegally purged 12,000 voters in 2000

7 hour lines in 2012

Shut down voter registration drives

Disenfranchised 1.6 million ex-felons

15k absentee ballots rejected in 2018

We know which party trying to steal election

This is a lie and you know it.

The Florida Department of State has said that there is no evidence of criminal activity and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said that there’s been no allegations of fraud.

Baseless comments like this inflict real damage on our democracy. https://t.co/bqvnBNrvVt

— Andrew Weinstein (@Weinsteinlaw) November 11, 2018

Scott alleged criminal violations and directed Florida law enforcement to investigate

They investigated and found absolutely no evidence anyone was breaking the law

The only fraud that is occurring is the baseless claims by GOP officials https://t.co/D0UDdvWFXQ

I spoke to one of the voters Rubio claims broke the law. She is 29 and works 2 jobs. She followed instructions at her polling station & provided a valid photo ID. She has no idea why her ballot was rejected. Likely her signature was deemed a mismatch https://t.co/gJg2D2MQWe https://t.co/985vNeGdPm

It’s official: Rohrabacher has lost re-election for the first time in 2 decades. Republicans declined to make his House Intel testimony public in the weeks leading up to the election. But with Dems in control, that could change by early next year. https://t.co/AovKVfu5vJ

On top of that, there are a lot of late ballots in California that are probably going to be really good for Democrats. Maine ranked choice promises to be decent for Democrats. Very easy to imagine ending at D+38/39 in the House at this point

Shows how effective the GOP gerrymandering is because they won more seats in 2010 while receiving 7 million fewer votes. https://t.co/0ESDzkoOsq

Here's one last way to look at it.

In the first two years with Obama as party leader, Republicans gained a net of +43 House seats (-21 2008, +1 special elections, +63 2010)

In the first two years with Trump, Dems are on pace for +45 (+6 2016, +1 special elections, +38 2018).

Here’s our current characterization of the uncalled Congressional races.

Solid D (>=95%): CA-48, CA-49, NM-2
Likely D (~85%): CA-10, NJ-3, NY-22, UT-4
Lean D (~65%): CA-39, CA-45, ME-2, AZ-Sen
Tossup (~50%):
Lean R: FL-Sen
Likely R: GA-7, NY-27, TX-23, MS-Sen (runoff)
Solid R:

For comparison, the House popular vote in things that are widely considered to be wave elections:
2010: R +6.8
2006: D +8.0
1994: R +7.1
So if we wind up at ~D +7.5 or so, we'll be pretty much exactly in line with those years. https://t.co/BMil3Uuw8j

“Why are these people taking so long to count votes??” you ask, implying something nefarious.

Answer: they always take this long to count, you just never GAF b/c it wasn’t a close election.

Voter turnout update: now up to an estimated 115.2 million people voted for a turnout rate of 48.9%. If this holds, 2018 will beat 1966's 48.7% and will be the highest midterm turnout rate since 1914's 50.4%

On Tuesday, w/ a few exceptions, America didn't hold elections between two candidates so much as a census of how many Ds & Rs live in given areas.

The irony: Dem arch-nemeses #CA22 Rep. Devin Nunes (R) & #CA50 Rep. Duncan Hunter (R) will easily survive, while many of the Trump-skeptic House Rs likeliest to collaborate w/ Dems just got kicked out.

— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 10, 2018

The story developing as the full picture of Tuesday's results comes into focus is significantly more favorable to Dems than the narrative that emerged on Election Night.

Overlooked: at the moment, Republicans are on track to lose nearly half of their 23 women in the House; there could be just 13 in the next Congress.

— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 10, 2018

Staggering: if every uncalled race breaks as I expect, House Dems' class of 61 freshmen would include *35* women & just 19 white men. By contrast, Republicans' class of 31 would include 29 white men & just *one* woman.
