Nate Silver: "Steve King now down 5 points with more than 50 percent reporting. The Upshot still says the race leans his way, but I’m not sure I buy that."
I just saw a report on RollCall that Mazie Hirono has been reelected here. The polls just closed at 6pm local time (42 minutes ago). They haven't released the first printout yet. She is projected to win, but to say she has won is jumping the gun a little.

ABC called it for King
David "I forgot my Twitter password" Ige wins re-election as Hawaii's governor.
Trying to sleep through this was like sleeping on some twisted Christmas Eve, but I managed.
Without Senate control, I'm guessing no impeachment. This is going to be a rough fight in 2020. The Democrats need an absolutely electric presidential candidate while the Republican Senator seats up for grab need competent challengers for every state.
I'm glad Democrats have the House. Now they need to lock it down for the next two years like with Bush.

Seeing Scott Walker lose made me so happy.
Everything about Georgia is boiling my blood.
He and his henchmen stole the Georgia governorship and will probably face zero consequences.

Yeah, Georgians should be in the streets right now plugging the whole thing up.
That's some of the most corrupt shit I've ever read. Russia has more credible elections.
Also, Scott Walker refuses to concede and is trying to throw out the votes that would lose him the race.
Same thing Wisconsinites, fuck shit up.

This morning is the first time in a loooooooooong time that I've been prouder to admit that I spent time growing up in Alabama - where at least we refuse to elect the pedophile that the Republican party foists off on us - than to admit that I was born in Iowa - where we keep our elected Nazis in office.
While Beto didn't win, we still saw a lot of flipped house seats including my county of Williamson, which has always been heavily conservative. Yes I would have loved Beto to have won, and it was damn close, but some of us are doing the best we can.
#notallGermans, but all Germans still got called Nazis in 1945. You guys elect, you all get to suffer the consequences and the reactions, sadly.
Again, mine was meant to be taken as seriously as #NotAllMen
Yes. Oddly enough, exactly that.
Yeah. Some, I'm sure, are good people.
If we were to go by the voting results, I believe you would classify at least 4 million of them as such.
