HD-27 | Likely R → Safe R
🚨 FORECAST LAUNCH 🚨
Our forecast for the Kansas House of Representatives is now out. Republicans are favored in 90 seats and Democrats are favored in 30. There's a 9-in-10 chance of a GOP supermajority.
As a result of this, the odds of a Democratic majority have improved enough to where we are changing our chamber rating for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
PA House | Lean R → Tilt R
We have moved PA HD-10 from Lean R to Tilt D. We initially moved this seat from Safe R to Lean R when incumbent Aaron Bernstine (R) posted videos on his Snapchat story of him giving his 5-year-old son a cigar to smoke.

50.6% D Majority
20.8% Tie
28.6% R Majority

FL HD-105 | Toss-Up → Tilt D (FLIP)

After reviewing partial final campaign finance reports in NC, we have 8 rating changes in the legislatures. 5 favor Ds, 3 favor Rs. As more reports come in we may have more rating changes later.
🚨 State Legislative Chamber Rating Changes 🚨
We recently went and eliminated some Toss-Ups in our state legislative ratings and changed some ratings accordingly based on state-level and national polling in several states. We have three chamber changes.
🚨 PA Rating Changes 🚨
There are a lot of districts where both candidates haven't filed their finance reports, unfortunately, but we have a few rating changes of what is in so far, all in favor of Democrats. Watch this thread for more changes for the Commonwealth.
A tie in the PA State Senate would mean
@JohnFetterman
, the Democrat Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, would break the ties in the chamber.
Given that the PA House is Lean R, there's now a slightly better opportunity for Democrats to create a trifecta in Pennsylvania.
HD-14 | Safe R → Likely R

🚨 New York Rating Changes 🚨
We have gone through the available recent campaign finance reports in NY. There are still some stragglers left, so we may have more rating changes later. Democrats are doing very well in the state legislative races.
🚨 MI House Rating Changes 🚨
We have just finished going through recent campaign finance reports in Michigan. After reviewing the finance reports, we are making two changes in our Michigan House of Representatives ratings, both toward Democrats.
As a result of these rating changes, the Florida House is now Safe Republican in our ratings. It's no longer a competitive chamber. It is quite possible that Republicans will have a net gain of seats in the chamber this year, though, of the 7 Toss-Up districts, they control 6.
CALL: Delegate Hala Ayala (D) has won the Democratic primary for VA Lieutenant Governor and Incumbent Attorney General Mark Herring (D) has won the Democratic primary for VA Attorney General
November ratings:
LG: Tilt Democratic (shift from Lean)
AG: Lean Democratic
🚨 FORECAST LAUNCH 🚨
Tonight we're launching key state legislative forecasts in the swing state of Pennsylvania. The State Senate is not competitive this year due to staggered terms, but the State House is.
🚨 State Legislative Rating Changes 🚨
Getting tired, so just gonna list off the changes, based on recent finance reports. :)
NV SD-15 | Lean R → Tilt R
NV AD-02 | Toss-Up → Tilt R
AZ SD-20 | Tilt R → Toss-Up
We can confirm: The Maine House of Representatives is now Safe D in our ratings, as the odds of a GOP majority in the chamber now sit at just 4.2%.
There are now no opportunities for Republicans to break a Democratic trifecta this year in state governments.
Looking at the changes we've made in the Maine House of Representatives, the new odds we present may decrease the odds of a Republican majority in the chamber enough to where we rate the chamber as Safe D. D's favored to have a net gain in the chamber, expanding the majority.
🚨 WI Rating Changes 🚨
While both chambers in WI remain Safe R, we have 9 rating changes for the battle for competitive state legislative districts, all in favor of Democrats. The chances of a GOP supermajority in the State Senate have also diminished.
🚨 NM Rating Changes 🚨
After analyzing final campaign finance reports in NM, we have 3 rating changes in the State Senate, all favoring D's.
SD-20 | Tilt D → Lean D (FLIP)
SD-23 | Toss-Up → Tilt D (FLIP)
SD-35 | Lean R → Tilt R (FLIP)
🚨 IL Rating Changes 🚨
Most districts in IL have both candidates submitting their last campaign finance reports. The IL Democrats are beating the IL Republicans to a pulp in fundraising. We have a lot of rating changes as a result. More possibly to come.
🚨 FORECAST LAUNCH 🚨
Today, we are launching our state legislative forecasts for the Empire state. With newly-implemented Democratic gerrymanders, it's quite likely the DEM supermajorities in both chambers remain.
🚨 RI Rating Changes 🚨
After reviewing final campaign finance reports in RI, we have 5 rating changes, all in favor of Democrats. Democrats are certain to hold their supermajorities in both chambers.
After looking at recent polls by St. Pete Polls reported by
@Fla_Pol
, we have two FL House rating changes.
FL HD-60 | Toss-Up → Tilt D (FLIP)
FL HD-72 | Tilt R → Toss-Up
CALL: Incumbent Delegate Mark Levine has LOST the Democratic primary for VA HD-49 in the Beltway area to Alexandria Vice Mayor Elizabeth Bennett-Parker.
November rating: Solid Democratic.
🚨 State Legislative District Rating Changes 🚨
We've gone through every competitive district with a college in it and have identified 6 where rating changes need to be made due to a large college (of the district population %) in the district going primarily online.
It's because of these endorsements and the Republicans going against Bernstine that we're making this move. The Democratic candidate, Kolbe Cole, just needs to get ~35% (or more) of the vote to win while the remaining vote is split between Bernstine and Peffer.
In the State Senate:
NY SD-39 | Lean D → Likely D
NY SD-41 | Toss-Up → Tilt D (FLIP)
NY SD-50 | Toss-Up → Tilt D (FLIP)
NY SD-56 | Lean D → Likely D (FLIP)
NY SD-60 | Likely R → Toss-Up
CALL: Incumbent Delegate Elizabeth Guzman (D) has won the Democratic primary for VA HD-31 in the Northern Virginia area.
November rating: Likely Democratic (shift from Lean Democratic)
This race is really interesting. The Libertarian candidate has scored a lot of local Republican endorsements:
Bethany Baldes (L) nearly defeated David Miller, who was next in line for the speakership, in 2018. Miller opted out of re-election this year.
Since then, the Pennsylvania House Republicans and local Republican committees have demanded his resignation. It's obviously too late to take him off the ballot.
IA HD-09 | Likely R → Lean R
IA HD-16 | Tilt R → Tilt D (FLIP)
IA HD-37 | Toss-Up → Tilt D (FLIP)
IA HD-38 | Lean D → Likely D
IA HD-60 | Lean D → Likely D
IA HD-64 | Tilt R → Tilt D
IA HD-67 | Lean D → Likely D (FLIP)
IA HD-68 | Likely D → Safe D
In the State Senate:
SD-25 | Likely R → Safe R
The State Senate remains Safe R in our ratings. The odds of a GOP majority in the chamber are now up to 100%, There was a slight chance of a tie, but now that SD-25 is uncompetitive, it's gone.
🚨 UT Rating Changes 🚨
After looking at the final campaign finance reports in Utah, we only have 2 changes in our ratings in Utah, both favoring Democrats.
UT HD-45 | Lean R → Tilt R
UT HD-54 | Toss-Up → Tilt D (FLIP)
🚨 WV Rating Changes 🚨
Most districts in WV have both candidates filing their recent campaign finance reports, still some stragglers. Of those in districts where both candidates have filed a report, we have 10 rating changes.
🚨 FORECAST LAUNCH 🚨
Our forecast for the Florida House of Representatives is now up. The chamber is not competitive, but the odds of whether the GOP will have a supermajority or regular majority is.
This is an especially good batch of reports for Senate Democrats, who are on defense this year and trying to prevent Republicans from creating a supermajority in the chamber.
WI Democrats nominate Brad Pfaff for SD-32, an open seat that barely voted for the incumbent Democrat in 2016. Pfaff was the Secretary of Agriculture in Wisconsin and is a good fit for the district. We're moving it leftward.
WI SD-32 | Toss-Up → Tilt D
I love my job. State legislators can be so dumb sometimes. Holy shit.
West Virginia State Senator Mike Maroney (R), who was charged last year with soliciting prostitution, apparently solicited a prostitute AGAIN in August.
Well, here it is. In Cambria County's
#HD72
, Trump got >70%, winning every precinct. Concurrently, Democratic State Rep. Frank Burns (
@RepFrankBurns
) won by 5, outperforming Biden everywhere by at least 30. Ancestral D strength in southern Cambria easily got Burns over the top.
MT-SOS | Lean R → Tilt R
MT-AG | Lean R → Tilt R
MT-AUD | Lean R → Tilt R
MT-SUPT | Lean R → Tilt R
PA-TREAS | Likely D → Safe D
WV-AGRI | Likely R → Safe R
🚨 North Dakota Rating Changes 🚨
We just finished going through the last campaign finance report in North Dakota. We are casting near-final ratings there and eliminating Toss-Ups. Almost every competitive district has had its rating changed.
🚨 FORECAST LAUNCH 🚨
Today, we're launching our State Senate forecast in the Granite state. Due to Republican gerrymandering here, Republicans are nearly a safe bet to keep their majority.
🚨 FORECAST LAUNCH 🚨
Today we're launching our forecasts for Tennessee, a deep red state with little competition due to effective Republican gerrymanders, especially in the State Senate where there will pretty much be no competition this decade.
With 6 days remaining until the polls close, the presidential race just shifted from Lean D to Likely D in our forecast.
Biden Victory 75.9%
Tie 0.6%
Trump Victory 23.5%
🚨 FORECAST UPDATE 🚨
Few changes in our forecast on the federal level, but we've made state legislative changes.
WI Prez | Tilt D → Lean D
MI-03 | Lean R → Toss-Up
VA-05 | Toss-Up → Tilt D (FLIP)
