Nate Cohn: a GOP majority is finally in sight

[In It to Win It]

NYT

No paywall

After a long week counting mail votes out west, a Republican House majority now seems in sight.

It might still be days until the major decision desks can project that Republicans have won the 218 seats necessary to win control. But over the weekend, Democrats fell short of their targets in the late count in critical battleground districts in Arizona and California.

The sometimes good — but not good enough — results for Democrats raised the bar for what the party needs in the votes yet be counted, while making a late surge seem even less likely.

Right now, Republicans would be on track to win 221 seats if the latest trends continued, though several of these races remain so close that they could easily go the other way.

1. Some Majority

if they get to 221 (which I doubt) it will only be 3 above the minimum.

2. "Finally"? Interesting word to use there

That sentence works without it.

5. I think

Nate Cohn is going by where Republicans are leading. If these races were called right now, Republicans would be at 221 seats if I'm not misremembering.

4. Cheating Democrats

Voter Fraud. Voter Fraud. Voter Fraud. Voter Fraud. Voter Fraud. Voter Fraud.

Can't even win in NY or California. If we cheat, we're pretty damn bad at it.
