The latest on a potential bright spot: NE-2

With all of the election day and early voting ballots counter, Republican-turned Independent-turned Democrat Brad Ashford has a 4000 vote lead on Republican Lee Terry.

However, there are 13,500 absentee ballots, and they won't be counted fully until Friday

Given the lead Ashford currently has, Terry would need to garner close to 10,900 of the 13,500 votes (Just over 80%) to catch Ashford. He may, however, get close enough to force a recount.
