The new governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf, addresses the media after voting today.
7:35 PM PT (David Nir): GOP pickups: AR-Sen, CO-Sen, IA-Sen, MT-Sen, SD-Sen, WV-Sen
7:36 PM PT (David Nir): Republican David Perdue is declared the winner in Georgia without a runoff, which would have taken place in January. That means the only way Democrats could retain the Senate is if they win VA, NC, AK, LA, and Greg Orman wins in KS and decides to caucus with the Ds.
7:37 PM PT (David Nir): Democrats had hoped to defy the trends in the open WV-02, but the race has now been called for Republican Alex Mooney, a carpetbagger from Maryland.
7:40 PM PT (David Nir): Whew: CNN calls NH-02 for freshman Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster. Glad Marilinda Garcia lost, since the GOP was ready to fast-track her as a "rising star."
7:41 PM PT (David Nir): Things are looking dicey for Democrats in both MD-Gov and MA-Gov. Both would be pickups for the GOP if they win.
7:43 PM PT (David Nir): Republicans hold AZ-Gov. Doug Ducey defeats Fred DuVal.
7:44 PM PT (David Nir): Welcome a top contender for craziest motherfucker in Congress: Republican Glenn Grothman holds WI-06 for the GOP, though he ain't a member of your daddy's GOP.
7:46 PM PT (David Nir): Want a sign that this is a wave election? Dem Rep. Louise Slaughter is up just 354 votes with 90% reporting in what everyone had as a safe Dem district, NY-25.
7:47 PM PT (David Nir): Because this night doesn't suck enough, WI-Gov called for Republican Scott Walker, who beats Democrat Mary Burke.
7:53 PM PT (Barbara Morrill): New thread here.
