    WOW. ABC News can report that Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D) is projected to win #WA03. This is the biggest upset of the 2022 election—she had only a 2% chance in our final forecast.

    The AP has also called #NVSoS for Francisco Aguilar (D), defeating Jim Marchant (R), who falsely claimed elections have been rigged for decades. It's now official that no election denier will administer the 2024 election in any swing state.

    Massachusetts has 33% Republicans and they get zero seats. Is that "your democracy?"

    This would obviously be a baseless lawsuit, but just saying this has a chilling effect, and most pollsters don't have the financial resources for a legal battle. This is very disturbing.

    The reason for Dem despair right now: The scenario where Harris is significantly overperforms the polls is off the table, and she really only has one path left (MI/PA/WI). But that path is still open.
