Montana, Georgia, North Carolina, Missouri, and part of Nebraska could still go either way.
As things stand now, there will be at least 57 caucusing with the Dems in the Senate. Republican Senator Smith is leading by just 3,000 votes in Oregon, with 30% of the (Democratic-leaning) precincts yet to report If Merkley takes the lead, that puts the Senate at 58D. Democrat Al Franken is winning by about 1,200 in Minnesota with 98% of the precincts in; if he holds the lead, that puts the Senate at 59D. Something screwy has happened in Georgia; possibly uncounted early votes in GA may possibly mean a runoff Senate election in December. If there is indeed a runoff, a win in GA could mean 60D/40R in the Senate.
