Election? What Election?

WASHINGTON, DC—Today US voters are heading to the polls for the mid-term elections, but truthfully there is no need to stay up late tonight watching the returns. The polls are almost unanimous in what the predicted results will be: the Senate will turn Republican and the GOP will pick up additional seats in the House of Representatives. It is possible, likely even in Louisiana, that some states will not be decided today but will require a run-off. Even with that possibility in the mix, most politicos say a GOP takeover of the Senate is a done deal.

Even states that seemed to be in play a few weeks ago are almost certainly going to send a Republican to Congress, David Johnson, principal of Strategic Vision tells GlobeSt.com. “Iowa, Arkansas, Colorado, Montana, West Virginia and South Dakota are all pointing to that,” he says. So if one or two states are undecided it still won’t impact the Senate leadership.
