It means Austin and other urban boxes in early.   Abbott and Cruz will both win easily.

DeSasntis pulled ahead by 1.  I'm taking a break ....

The first time I voted in FL I voted absentee because I knew I'd be going overseas around that time.  Stayed up until 3:00am watching the coverage of POTUS.  Screw it, I'll find out in the morning.  Next afternoon I headed for the airport.  Screw it, I'll find out when I get to London.  Then it was Paris.  Madrid.  Singapore.  Sydney.  Melbourne.  San Fran.

Taking a break is not a terrible idea, IMO.

The 538 forecast has dropped to just a 39.3% chance that the Democrats take the House tonight.

That is something that was unthinkable just 24 hours ago for most...

Still a lot of time to go tonight, but this is not the start to #ElectionNight that Democrats wanted.

FWIW....

538 shows Dems dropping drastically from 79% to 52% to 39% chance of controlling the House.

In Kentucky, Kim Davis got taken out by one of the gay men who tried to force her to sign his marriage certificate.

This is a recurring theme with the left: punish those who disagree with them. That's what I worry about more than anything tonight, that those who stand on principle get destroyed.

Yes, please.

Looking at the TX returns now... Dallas returns came early and heavy for Beto... still very early.

Not quite yet, the numbers were flipped.

At 8:30 central, it’s 51-48 for Beto the Democrat.

That is because Travis county (Austin) just reported,,,, 75.8% for O'Rourke. No surprise.

@corbe I'm a lot worried, that's a 4 point lead.

IF we lose TX and FL -- this country is toast!

Lol.... there is no way in Hell that Twitchy will win.  Relax.
