UPDATE:-11/17/2018. 2018 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: MORE TRUMP DELUSIONS, MORE DEMOCRATIC APATHY.

As of today, with the Florida recount still going on, the following is a recap of Senatorial Contests
that have been concluded:

DEMOCRATS- 22 VICTORIES.

REPUBLICANS- 9 VICTORIES.

INDEPENDENTS- 2 VICTORIES.

2 UNDECIDED.

HOWEVER, SINCE THIS IS NOT A FINAL EVALUATION, 
I WILL ONLY PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

VOTE TOTALS SO FAR:

DEMOCRATS- 50,388,364 votes (58.5%)

REPUBLICANS- 34,422,837 votes (39.9%)

DEMOCRATIC VOTERS, YOU SHOWED UP AGAIN. 
CONGRATULATIONS, BE PROUD, AND PLACE ANY 
BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS.

In 2016 I watched the Media, and the Democratic Party, ignore bogus returns in 6 States that allowed Donald Trump to enter the White House. Well, it's 2018 and they are still finding ways to keep him happy, by ignoring the obvious.

As you probably know by now, the 2018 Mid-Term elections have ended, and the Democratic Party has taken control of the U.S. House of Representatives. (As of right now, the count is 224-197, Source New York Times.)

However, Trump and the Media are emphasizing the fact that the Republicans still control the Senate, as if it is a major accomplishment. The Democrats don't seem to be questioning this assessment.
(As of right now, they have 51 seats, which is the same number held prior to the mid-term elections. Yes, they could add 2-3 seats to this total, with 3 races still not called; Source New York Times.)

Now, this is a victory, but how big is it really?

The 2018 Mid- Term elections had 35 Senate Seats to be contested.
These seats broke down the following way, according to which party occupied the office.

24 Democrats, 9 Republicans, 2 Independent.
                                                    (Caucus with the Democrats, and                                                           are usually grouped                                                                               with them.)

That meant that 65 seats could not change hands. What was the make up of the seats not contested?
Republican- 42    Democrat- 23.

The Republicans had a 19 seat advantage before a single vote was cast. These numbers were the result of previous elections, and were not a reflection of Donald Trumps time in office. Now if we assume the Republicans end up with the total of 54 seats, it would mean the following:

THE TOTALS WOULD BE- DEMOCRATS- 21 WINS, REPUBLICANS- 12 WINS, INDEPENDENTS- 2 WINS.

What does this mean?

At the start of election day, The Republicans had a 19 seat advantage. In the end, it was 8 seats.

To keep majority control of the Senate, the Republicans needed to 
win 9 of the 35 seats.

To gain majority control of the Senate, the Democrats needed to win 28 of the 35 seats.

With these numbers, exactly who was predicting a Democratic take over of the Senate?

In the end, the Democrats essentially won TWO-THIRDS OF THE SENATE SEATS CONTESTED ON NOVEMBER 6TH. 

THIS IS A VICTORY FOR THE REPUBLICANS?

WELL DEMOCRATS, HOPE FOR MANY MORE REPUBLICAN "VICTORIES" LIKE THIS.

David,

This is my last reminder that TOMORROW is Election Day. Please make sure to check your status and voting location. Plan to get there between 6:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. If you're in line by 7:00 p.m., you will be able to vote. And don’t forget to bring a signed photo ID.

As citizens, we must participate in the electoral process. And as people with integrity who care about the rights of citizens and immigrants, we must vote for Democrats here in Virginia like Jennifer Wexton, Leslie Cockburn, Elaine Luria, Vangie Williams, Robert “Bobby” Scott, A. Donald McEachin, Jennifer Lynn Lewis, Anthony Flaccavento, Gerald Edward Connolly, Donald Beyer, Abigail Spanberger and Carter Turner. Trump has divided this country, and we have to vote blue to stay on the right side of history.

There is simply too much at stake to sit at home. We can sway this election if we vote.

See you at the polls,

Jennifer Boysko,
