    Political Bet: 54 or more Republican Seats after 2018 Midterm Elections

    Nitrogen already graded this as a loss?

    Little early to grade that one. It looks like two recounts are going to take place.

    What's interesting about the senate races is that even though the R's picked up seats, the total vote tally in the senate races came out around 44.5 million dems to 32.5 repubs. Kinda like a team that you know is not really as good as their record shows.

    Also a special election next month in Miss. Does that count toward the bet at all?

    This is a talking point that's being posted online. However there's a lot wrong with the statement. For instant:

    -Only 35 Senate seats were up for election this year. Dems controlled 26 of them, thus why they have far more votes.
    -Almost all the Senate votes in CA added to the Dem tally as their were no Republicans on the ballot.

    OK, and it's still true. Not a talking point. A fact.

    Your point is also why the R's were always almost certainly going to gain in the senate because of the seats that happened to be on the line. So the spin goes both ways.

    If it turns out a winner they should re-grade it.

    If that happens and they don't, you can shoot in an SBR complaint form and we can likely help.

    Thanks for the info. I contacted them and that's what they said. But still strange that they would grade it as a loss and then say it would be re-graded if it ends up being 54 or more. So does that mean they're going to pay out both sides if that happens?

    Probably. At a guess.

    The cost of grading before the result is known for sure I guess.

    Without this counting, 53 is the most they could get. Since that's a separate election, and not part of the 2018 midterms, I think he might be SOL.

    Looks like Arizona is going to be a battle. McSally up 14,000 but apparently they haven't started counting mail-in ballots which could be like 600,000(!) votes. If that's true, it wouldn't take a huge margin (~2.4%) to catch up.

    no, it's not like that at all and really shows how stupid you are. Reminds me of when you low IQers talk about popular vote. Really shows off your low IQ brain.

    It is true, but that's what happens when the liberals all live together in high population areas. If they were spread out across the country then the ratios would be a little more in line.
