“A judge in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, ordered polls in the county to stay open until 10 p.m. ET after voters reported some polling locations running out of paper for voting machines,” Fox News reports.

“A key Georgia county has extended the deadline for over 1,036 absentee ballots to be received through November 14, nearly a week after Election Day,” CNN reports.

“Cobb County election officials failed to send out the ballots after they say procedural errors were made on at least two days in October, when absentee ballots were requested but not created and mailed.”

If the Senate race is as close as some predict, those votes could decide it.

“The run-up to Election Day has long come with a few rites of passage for candidates, but one of them — showing up on the debate stage to take questions and square off against an opponent — seems to be fading from the list of prerequisites,” NBC News reports.

“An analysis of debate schedules by NBC News confirms what many political observers have speculated: The number of debates in competitive 2022 Senate races has hit a new low since 2008.”

David Wasserman previews the five House races where “spoiler” candidates might change the outcome tonight.

“The freakiest situation is in Minnesota’s 2nd CD, where for the second straight cycle, the Legal Marijuana Now party nominee has died less than six weeks before the election. But as in 2020, the late candidate’s name will still appear on the ballot, potentially draining progressive votes from Democratic Rep. Angie Craig and boosting GOP Marine veteran Tyler Kistner two years after Craig eked out a 48%-46% victory.”

Charlie Sykes: “Yes, it could be a blowout and we could all go to bed by 10 o’clock, but it’s also quite likely that we won’t know the outcome of some key races until tomorrow, maybe not for days. Legal challenges in key states could go on for weeks. And, remember, Georgia’s senate race (which could decide who controls the upper body) will be headed for a run-off if no one gets 50 percent of the vote.)”

“Because some states — looking at you Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — intentionally delay the counting of mail-in votes, there may a “red mirage” again, followed by a surge of late-breaking Democratic votes. And you know what that means.”

Charles Mahtesian: “It’s time to talk about it out loud: This year’s election is going to be a train wreck. Not just Election Day, but the weeks and perhaps even months to come.”

Amy Walter offers three possible scenarios for tonight’s midterm election results.

1. The Classic “Tsunami” Election: “We can put the 1994/2006/2010 midterms into this category. In this scenario, the bottom drops out for the party in the White House. Not only do the closest races tip to Republicans, but the GOP picks up seats in unexpected places.”

2. A “Wavey” Election: “The closest historical example would be the 2018 midterms. In this scenario, turnout is roughly even to slightly better for Republicans. Independent voters, however, break decisively for Republicans (say by 10-12 points). The closest races break for Republicans, but there are fewer ‘surprise’ pick-ups.”

3. A Red Ripple: “We don’t have an analog in recent years for this type of midterm election. In this scenario, Democratic and Republican turnout is basically equal — with both sides able to juice their base. Instead of breaking decisively for Republicans, independent voters give Republicans a small advantage.”

Nate Silver: “When we launched our midterms forecast on June 30, Republicans had a 53 percent chance of taking over the Senate from Democrats, and an 87 percent chance of taking over the House.”

“We could almost have turned our servers off and let that forecast stand. Today, in our final forecast of the cycle, Republicans have a 59 percent chance of winning the Senate and an 84 percent chance of winning the House.”

“If we lose the House and Senate, it’s going to be a horrible two years.”

— President Biden, quoted by CNN.

Democrats running the party’s national campaign arm held a private call with allies and stakeholders Monday night to discuss “urgent messaging” if a flurry of GOP candidates claim victory prematurely, Axios reports.

“Counting Philadelphia’s votes will take longer than expected this election,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

“City officials voted Tuesday morning — as polling places opened and the vote count began for the midterm elections — to reinstate a time consuming and labor-intensive process for catching double votes that will slow how quickly they can report results.”

“If Pennsylvania’s high-stakes U.S. Senate race is as close as expected, a wait for results out of the state’s largest city is sure to shine a national spotlight on Philadelphia, similar to after the 2020 presidential election.”

Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA) “welcomed Biden to a pair of events late last week — one of the few personal appearances Biden has made for any vulnerable House Democrat,” Bloomberg reports.

Said Levin: “He was a terrific messenger for all the accomplishments of these past two years. … The pros so overwhelmingly outweighed the cons, in terms of getting out to vote, turning out Democrats that historically may or may not vote in the midterm but vote in a presidential election.”
