Okay, is anyone watching FiveThirtyEight's projections? I'm honestly baffled. Republicans keeping the house started out as a 1 in 7 chance, forty minutes ago it was 1 in 15, but now it's 3 in 5. If your model is going to be so volatile, what's even the point?

Im waiting for the NYT scale to go live. They were right when they predicted Trump would win in 2016.

Shocked democrats are still leading in Texas. With almost half the vote in, its looking bad for Cruz.

I'd be shocked if Beto wins. A lot of the vote in conservative areas are not in yet anyway.

70% in Texas and he's still up by 2 points. That is very bad news. Texas is always a democrat lead early, but I've never seen it this close late in the night. Doesn't look like the GOP will lose the senate, and the house won't be a total disaster, but its still shocking nonetheless.
