    Election 2006 Watch: GOP Loses Control of House But Senate Continues Contested

    election2006november7aweb

    House Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., fires up fellow Democrats at an election night rally at the Hyatt Regency Hotel near the Capitol in Washington Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2006. She is joined, left to right, by Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, and Rep. Kendrick Meek, D-Fla.

    U.S. House: GOP Loses Control by how much will be the issue.

    U.S. Senate: Continues in play. Virginia, Montana, Missouri and Tennessee are contested.

    The Maryland Senate race is NOT over and the Washington Post has retracted its projection.

    Maryland Election results are here.

    Watch along with Flap at the links above.

    Stay tuned……..

    Update:

    Riehl World calls if for Allen but Flap feels it is premature. This race will be recounted and will determine control of the Senate.

    Update 12:07 AM EST

    Looks like a recount in Virginia with Montana and Missouri going blue.  If Virginia goes to Webb then Democrats win control of the U.S. Senate – as per Flap’s prediction.

    The GOP will lose between 20 and 25 seats in the House and control.

    THE GOP DEBACLE HAS ARRIVED!

    Xinhua: California election turnout expected to be modest

    Overall, turnout is expected to be modest with roughly 8.7 million – or 55 percent – of California’s 15.8 million registered voters likely to cast ballots by the time polls close at 8 p.m., according to California Secretary of State Bruce McPherson.

    That would put turnout above the 51 percent of four years ago, when Governor Gray Davis won reelection, but below the 60 percent of October 2003, when voters recalled Davis and replaced him with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    McPherson projected that 44 percent of the votes cast in the Tuesday election will be by absentee ballot. By Friday afternoon, the ballots of at least 1.8 million voters had already reached county election offices.
