If my basic math is right that leaves roughly 90,000 votes to still count. To close the gap would require something like 50,000 for Masto vs. 40,000 for Laxalt.
That seems like Masto can pull even and then build a small lead since there is decent chance those ballots are close to two-thirds Democrats.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Yes. That is correct and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Dems keep the house majority.
I love positive happy talk as much as anyone else but let's just say that things don't work out as well as they could, with the last three Senate races going to the Repubs, and they take control of the Senate, along with the House, what happens then? The country could still be in for a lot of chaos in the future. The fact that the populace voted to reject the anti-democratic, election deniers, fascists forces is a very positive thing that may make some of these people think twice about doing some very bad things and bring down the whole system.
Having said this, I'm thinking the Democrats will go on to control the Senate, so that even if they lose the House, it would limit the damage that the crazies could do to the country.
