The Collins has been slacking lately when it comes to the creation of "OFFICIAL THREAD"s, so I thought I would go ahead and create one for reporting and discussing the results of the upcoming 2022 U.S. midterm elections (Tuesday 08 November).

Also, if anyone wants to make any predictions about the outcomes, post them below.

I'll try to collect and track them here, and we'll see who's the best prognosticator.
(I probably should've thought to set this up a week or so ago, instead of a day or so before, but oh well ...)

Here are the categories:

(1) Predict the final overall ratio of Democrats to Republicans for the US Senate (100 total seats).

Governor's races could be epic as well... NY, OR and even WA are within striking distance of republicans.
 
I predict that Democrats will absolutely election-deny the results of:

GA Governor
AZ Governor
FL Governor
NH Senate
AZ Senate

I also predict that Republicans will election-deny the results of:

NY Governor
PA Senate
NV Senate

I predict that Trump will announce (one way or the other) for 2024 after the results of 2022 are finalized.

This election is in the process of being "fortified". I would not be the least bit surprised to see a "stunning reversal" of the current pro-GOP polling.
 
My crystal ball is dark.

I think the whole thing is going to ride on the submerged voter angle.

How many people have done just like I have, and deliberately monkey wrenched pollsters when they have contacted me?
 
I predict that after the dust settles and everything is said and done, nothing much of substance will actually have changed.

Yeah pretty much this.

Assuming there IS a "red wave" the best I can hope for is that some of the very worst from Biden et al gets stymied.
 
My prediction for Pennsylvania:

Oz will win a close race and Mastriano will lose a close race. This will be determined after 5-7 days of "counting" votes.

Afterwards, Pennsylvania will continue its slide into California due to its free-for-all voting and smug prick keyboard warrior lolbertarians will tell me that either a) there was no difference between the D and R governor candidate or b) it doesn't matter because neither would advance liberty. Then, they will continue to tell me that the LP has a legitimate shot of winning races here if only enough people would vote for them.

Mostly peaceful is strictly reserved for murder by kop.

Nobody really cares about elections, rigged or not, regardless how media tries to whip up a frenzy.

Republicans will harrumph and democrats will wail but that'll be the extent of it.

The early votes for Pennsylvania is looking blue for now.
Amusing people are supposedly willing to support a politician who literately has brain damage.
 
reps +39 in the house
+2 in the senate and governors

Does anyone have a really good site where i can see all the results nationwide as they come in?
 
Lets guess the R's gain 3 senate seats, 27 seats in the house and a new dog catcher will probably be elected somewhere.

The Fetterman/Oz race should go for Oz. If you have any kind of sympathy for Fetterman you wouldn't vote for him but give him time to recover. But I'm not sure that will be the case. This is a real tie I think. For all the wrong reasons probably.

If any of these are posted, I will add them to the "REAL-TIME SOURCES / LIVE STREAMS / etc." list in the OP.
