@inthehands Well technically 53, plus two independents (because New Englanders are weird) and the shithead from Pennsylvania.

If I’m making guesses about the future:- Fetterman makes a half-assed attempt or two to backpedal on his MAGA flirting, attempts which he almost immediately torpedoes with his own big mouth. - He then either switches to the Republican Party at a moment of optimal headline grabbing, serves out his term as a Republican, and loses his seat in the next election, or- ragequits#uspol

With >95% of the votes in:

• Mary Peltola (D) is at 49.8% (138,240)
• Dan S. Sullivan (R) at 46.1% (127,828)
• Gerald L. Heikes (R) at 2.1% (5885)
• Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. (I) at 1.6% (4560)
• and write-ins at 0.3% (855)

Not to mention that when 75% of the votes were counted, there was no huge break for the Big Sullivan in ranked-choice.

">95%" at this point is conservative – which, to be clear, I'm glad decision desks exercise caution. Outright 50% majority at this point, I'm not so sure, but ranked-choice seems exceedingly likely if it comes down to it.

Just, of course, stating my personal opinion regarding the current count, having been keeping up with it.

Edit: Peltola just climbed to 49.9% 40 minutes ago. Now 140,637 to Big Sullivan's 129,424.

Fuck yes!!! 🙌

Those poll workers still on the job counting votes are probably starting to get pretty resentful about her opponent still not conceding.
