Try to keep this thread clear until 11/8.

Or don't. :D
 
Anyone want to take a shot at predicting the Senate?

My guess is D picks up a couple seats, giving them a slim majority best case, or a evenly split chamber (in which Kaine will have the deciding vote).

Usually right prognosticator, Larry Sabato, of the UVa Center for Politics, today predicts a 50-50 split in the Senate, with the GOP keeping the House. He predicts a Clinton win, 322 electoral votes to Trump's 216. (http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/category/2016-president/)

Nope. They're down 8. Which means they need to flip 4 and win the white house so Kaine gets the tie break. Which is well within reach.

Trump Camp Files Lawsuit Over Nevada Early Voting

Trump files Nevada voting lawsuit
In a sign that the legal team for the Trump campaign is aggressively laying the groundwork for potential legal challenges -- big and small -- lawyers have gone to state court in Nevada in an early vote dispute.

In legal briefs filed last night, Trump lawyers are asking for relief in case “the election of presidential electors from the State of Nevada is contested.”

They are suing Joe P. Gloria, the Clark County registrar of voters, over a decision they allege he made to keep polling locations open “two hours beyond the designated closing time.” The lawsuit targets polling places in the greater Las Vegas area that have larger minority voting precincts.

Dan Kulin, a spokesperson for the county, told CNN that no early voting stations extended their closing times. They did, however, process voters who were in line at closing time to allow as many people to vote as possible.

Trump lawyers are asking for an order to have the pertinent early vote ballots not to be “co-mingled or interspersed” with other ballots.

“From the polling, it appears that Nevada is so close that the Trump campaign thinks it’s worth challenging any violation in voting protocol. The numbers that came in could represent several thousand people across the four precincts, which could determine who wins the electoral college vote or change the Senate race,” said Robert Lang of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He said the Trump campaign is “smart to put a marker down for a future challenge, considering what happened in 2000 in Florida."
 
Vast majority of anecdotal evidence so far is that voter turn-out is high. Good for you, America.
 
So when about is it time to start paying attention? Can I get a nap in?

This lawsuit?

BREAKING: Nevada Judge Denies Trump Lawsuit, Saves Thousands Of Hispanic Votes

A visibly angry Nevada judge just shot down the Trump campaign’s pathetic lawsuit that attempted to rob people stuck standing in line after the polls closed of their right to vote, pointing out that the Trump campaign had not spoken with the Secretary of State or done their due diligence exhausting other options.

"Harold, the forum member RoryN is an attention whore and keeps bumping this thread."

"Anyway, where have you been tonight?"

I was at Archie Bunker's place watching the election results.

"Well, who won?"

Sarah Palin.

"I knew she would win. Who was her running mate anyway. I don't remember."

John McCain.
