    Midterm election results are expected around 5 PM central time. They should start coming in at any moment.

    Regardless of which party emerges with a majority, I think it's pretty safe to say nothing will really change. According to a Princeton study, the US is an oligarchy, which means "the people" are not really in charge. That makes these election rituals little more than a form of political theater.

    Let's ask Obama what we should do.

    How do you have results already, maybe your polls close earlier than ours.... (Ours close at 8:00 I believe.) I'm anxiously awaiting results (Florida.) I saw a funny meme today, it said something like "waiting for election results is like waiting for the teacher to give you a grade on a group class project ---- you know you did your part right, but you were teamed up with a bunch of idiots". :D

    Why? Is that just a "The Midwest is a bunch of Conservative idiots" NPC type answer?

    RCP is showing that the Democrat had a +1.3% advantage going in.

    So if the Republican is really winning by 20+ points and in a state that used to be Democrat, that is a HUGE deal.

    That's an early close. Do they have early voting in those states?

    But they don't ....

    I just showed you that there is a Democratic incumbent and RCP has it as leaning Democrat.

    The guy above, he just brought up Indiana and said there was a 20 pt margin. But yeah, with only 1% (when I looked)

    30% Reporting for Florida, decent lead for Democrat Senator and Govenor races. Bodes well as Miami-Dade districts report later.

    GOP takes the lead in Florida, some more counting to do in the panhandle, but many more to count near Miami. Will see how the numbers pan out, but could go either way.

    Interesting early results for Beto, maybe young Texans made their way to the ballot boxes. Still doubtful in my book.

    From what I've seen, nothing much is changing. All the incumbents are being reelected.

    FivethirtyEight is now showing a 47.4% chance for GOP to win the house, (minimal)% chance Dems to take the senate.

    With a prediction of gaining +24 seats in the House

    Obama's bro is clearly a white nationalist.
