Only Dem pickups are 2 redrawn NC districts. Republicans have picked up 2 in FL, 1 in IA, 1 in OK, 1 in NM, 1 in SC, 1 in MN.

At this point Senate seems safe. RCP still has it 47-45-2. Uncalled:
Alaska 50% Sullivan R 63.1 Gross D 31.8
Georgia 100% Perdue R 50.8 Carpetbagger Osoff 46.9
North Carolina 100% Tillis R 48.7 Cunningham D 46.9
Maine 92% Collins R 50.9 Gideon D 42.5
Michigan 90% James R 49.2 Peters D 49.0

Georgia Special is a runoff Warnoff D 31.9 Loeffler R 26.5 Collins R 20.4.

Funny. Fox’s desk that calls races announced the Democrats would be between +5-10 in the House at about 8:30 last night.

Yeah. Before the polls even closed in Iowa and California where there were good chances of pickups. Clearly they called things based on notoriously unreliable exit polls.

Dems were in about 25 more Trump districts than Republicans in Clinton districts. It just made zero sense that the Dems would pickup seats.
