Before tomorrow what is breakdown of party control state House and Senate ?

That is for Minnesota ?
And how do you think the state legislature will look (along partisan lines) Wednesday morning ?
I live bordering Fla and Ga and I see no change in either state results. Save governorship's

Anyone have any bold predictions? Or even not-bold predictions?
For most of this cycle I’ve thought that Ds would probably net lose ground in the Senate, because the brutal map (including uninspiring incumbents) and good economy didn’t give them any daylight. As it stands today, I think they’ll hold at 49-51 or even net one seat. Still don’t think they will win it, but there is a non-zero chance, which is better than I rated it before. That would depend on three of TX, TN, NV, AZ flipping while Ds hold all of their seats except ND, where Heitkamp seems done. I think it’s likeliest that 3/4 of those go R, with NV and AZ being the likeliest upsets.
I think the House is going to be a 35-seat bloodbath.
Minnesota's Senate is 33-33 with a special election to decide control. Full Senate is not up for election until 2020. Republican seat but Dems have run a solid candidate who could possibly pull an upset. Minnesota House is 77R-57D. Would take a net gain for the Dems of 11 and while that is possible, it's not likely. They would have to sweep the suburbs and pick up some rural seats and they have not done well in rural Minnesota for quite awhile.

Since they have the earliest closing times, Kentucky and Indiana will provide the first real data on the elections. As it happens they have some races that are being heavily contested.
Kentucky's 6th district (Republican Andy Barr running for re-election) is rated a toss up by Cook Political Report. If the GOP holds this one, could be a sign that they will keep their losses under 30 seats.
Indiana's 2nd (with Republican Jackie Walorski running for re-election) is rated likely Republican. If this one goes Democratic or is very close it would be a sign of a bad night for the GOP (as in 40+ loss of seats in the House).
Indiana's 9th (Republican Trey Hollingsworth running for re-election) is rated safe Republican by Cook. If both the 2nd and 9th go Democratic or are very close it could be a very bad night for the GOP (as in 50+ loss of House seats)
The Indiana Senate race is very close too. The Democrats need the equivalent of an inside straight to win control of the Senate. Losing this seat would eliminate their already slim chances.

Looks like the late movement in the polls is toward the Dems. I'm guessing 40-50 gain in House seats. But looks like the GOP will win the Senate. McCaskill seems to be in trouble in MO. But there seems to be some late movement toward Beto in TX. I'm guessing the MO race is the one that keeps the Senate in Republican hands. Winning there would give them the margin to lose in the other close races, including TX, and still hold on to the Senate.

Voter turnout is going to be everything. Excited to get our first real data going into 2020. Not ruling anything out at this point.

KY 6th looking good for the Dems with over 40% of the vote in.
Florida governor and senate races are still razor thin with 96% of the vote in.
