All eyes on the Senate Race in ME where there are many absentee ballots left to be counted but Democrat Sara Gideon trails Susan Collins by 35K votes and there is ranked choice voting to sort as well.

450K absentee votes remain uncounted. Gideon is winning 58% of them to Collins 37%. That should be enough for a win. (I hope I'm right.)

That would shift the balance of power to 49/49 with two likely run off elections in GA in Jan.
