It’s time to make our predictions for the outcomes for tonight.

The Senate races have flown below the radar, but there are some very interesting ones that can flip that body back blue, a key step on re-establishing the Democratic hegemony in government. The Senate will allow the President to place her nominees into the government, especially in the Judiciary, especially in the Supreme Court.

That’s the ballgame, folks. Unless the judiciary is complete and competent, we have no chance of meaningful electoral reform.

Our key Senate races mirror, for the most part, our key battleground states. The competitive races right now are: AZ, FL, IN, MO, NC, NH, NV, PA and WI – all currently held by the GOP except for Nevada. States that were swinging but no longer appear competitive are a Republican hold in Ohio and a Democratic pick-up in Illinois. This makes the Senate 46 Blue to 45 Red with 9 left to allocate.

Thanks to FBI Director Comey’s 11^th hour nothingburger, Clinton’s momentum of two weeks ago, which could have made a House-flipping landslide more likely, has been blunted. I think there will be gains for Democrats, but the dream of a completely Blue Congress is slipping away.

So your challenge for our game today is this:

• Pick the final Electoral Vote totals for Clinton and Trump. Should total 538.
• Pick the final tally in the Senate (include the 2 independents with the Dems) Should total 100.
• Pick the final tally in the House. Should total 435

Like so:

• President: Clinton 368 Trump 170
• Senate: Dems 52 GOP 48
• House: Dems 208 GOP 227
