O'Rourke back ahead in Texas by over 100k votes with about 70% of the vote in.

72% in, now. Votes are only 23k apart, now. That's an absurdly close race.

Was it predicted to be this close of a race?

According to CNN there are currently 31 GOP house seats where the Dem is currently leading. If those hold then that would be enough for the Dems would take the house, that's a big if right now though.

No. Cruz could still pull away, or Rourke could, depending on where the remaining votes are from. I think in polling Cruz was ahead by the high single digits.

It was supposed to be fairly close, with Cruz obviously taking it. But now it's looking really tight.

Gotta say...Cruz gives me the Hillary-vibe. A slimy liar that's a massive hypocrite that will say anything to win. I hope he loses.

Looks like the GOP will probably gain 3-5 seats in the Senate.

Yeah, Cruz showing only 5k votes away from Beto.

Gain? Politico is showing only 1 gain. Who is calling it so soon?

Dems now have 4 pickups in the house.

lol, you're doing better than CBS where they are talking about women taking seats because "we need women in congress" when less than 8% of precincts are reporting on the seat in question.

That kind of gives me the creeps when they do that. It's highly suspect and manipulative but it's really not fooling most people watching.

They gotta talk about something, and them saying "we don't know what's happening" isn't going to get many viewers.

True. But CBS seems to favor the Dems far too obviously. It's like a Dem propaganda machine. They downplay GOP leads and wins and talk mostly about Dem leads.

I guess that's Trump's fault?

I swear to god every election some pundit says "We're seeing the remaking of the American political map".

Lyin' Ted leading again

It's technically true almost every time. Just very small changes, usually,

Dems picked up a couple more GOP seats. Now only need 17.
