Official Senate Results Thread R 52(+7) D 45(-7) Surfs Up-GOP Wave

Feel free to update results from Senate races around the country.

GOP needs to net 6 seats to take the Senate. 8 really close races with 2 of them looking like they will go to a runoff.

5pm- Kentucky- Look for Grimes to lead early since Jefferson County will come in quickly(Louisville) but then the rural counties will follow. Most ballots will be counted by 9pm.

6pm- Georgia- Look for Perdue to lead early and then Atlanta will come in late. Most likely it will go to a runoff. 75% will be counted by 10pm

New Hampshire- This is one to watch early. If Brown is close or ahead then it could be a big night for the GOP.

Virginia- Warner has been able to hold Gillespie at arms distance. GOP leaning counties will report first and then Fairfax and NOVA will trickle in.

6:30- NC- Hagan vs Tillis. Hagan will lead early and she will try to improve on Obama's #'s from Wake and Mecklenburg Counties. Tillis will close some but can he overtake? 75%-85% should be counted by 10pm

7:00 KS- This one will most likely come down to the wire. Look at Sedgwick and Johnson Counties. Orman will need at least one of those counties and probably both. He needs a bigger margin in Johnson. Slow counting here...maybe 70% in by midnight.

7:30- Arkansas- Pryor has been floundering lately but he will get off to a lead as the Dem leaning counties will report first. This has been hailed as the 4th easiest pickup chance for the GOP.

8:00- Colorado- Watch El Paso county(GOP needs to run up the score) as well as Jefferson(county mirrors the final result), Larimer(see Jeff county), and Arapahoe(Udall will need 3-5% win to be in the hunt). Counts will be pretty even throughout the night and hopefully we can get about 75% counted by 11pm.

Louisiana- Another one that will most likely go to a runoff. Cameron is the place to watch. Mary got 50%, a lot of white catholics.

9:00 Iowa- Braley will be out early as the Dem leaning counties report. Can Ernst overtake and will we even have a result tonight? This could be the closest race of the night. Hope 75% reporting by 11pm or so.

11:00- Alaska. Begich vs Sullivan. They are notoriously slow counting and with the Senate possibly hanging in the balance it probably wont be decided till in the morning or maybe later. Be lucky to have 70% in by 4am.

First polls will close in about 20 min and exit polls are due out anytime
