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).
