After a yearlong buildup and far more campaign ads than you’d ever want to see, Election Day is finally here. On Broadway and West 96th Street yesterday afternoon, an electronic ad kiosk displayed up to the minute forecasts of the outcomes. And while all politics are local, as the saying goes, these bets are anything but. People anywhere can bet real money on binary outcomes such as which of the two major parties will win control of the Senate today. Around 3 PM yesterday the board predicted 70% Democrats/30% Republicans. By this time tomorrow (a little past Midnight), we should have a pretty good idea of how that bet turned out. In the meantime, here’s a friendly reminder: if you haven’t already done so, VOTE!
TX Senate: Talarico/Paxton
