DEJA VU….At this point, McCaskill is ahead in Missouri and Tester is ahead in Montana. What’s more, the exit polls show McCaskill winning by 3% and Tester winning by 6%. So things look pretty good for them.
If that holds up, the Senate is 50-50 and it all comes down to Virginia. Unbelievable. It’s 2000 all over again. Control of one branch of government comes down to a couple thousand votes in one state. I think we can expect a scorched earth battle over the next few weeks.
UPDATE: I just listened to Jeffrey Toobin describe the Virginia recount process. First they count the provisional ballots, and then the vote is certified. That takes until November 27. Then the loser can ask for a recount. This race might not be decided until mid-December.
