Senate Balance 2020
Both sides have accused the other of fascism. Surely you have a view on which side is right. We can all agree that this is the most important election of our lifetimes. I hate that advertising sways elections, but it does. If you want to see a future free from fascism, you have an obligation to tithe for freedom. Give 10% of your income, preferably pre-tax, max $2,800 per candidate, to Senate campaigns that will help ensure that fascism can take no root in the cradle of Liberty.
Vulnerable To Flip
| State | Incumbent Party | Poll Balance | Links | Money | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alaska | Republican | tied, limited data | Wikipedia | Evolving Rapidly | Generally Alaska is safe for Republicans. It has become heated, though, with millions rolling in on both sides since RBG's death. Lisa Murkowski, the incumbent Republican, has declared that she will oppose a SCOTUS appointment. |
| Colorado | Republican | 50.7D, 43.3R | Wikipedia | ||
| Georgia | Republican | 42.4 D, 44.4 R | Wikipedia | The closeness of the polls may not reflect realistic likelihood of winning. Georgia is generally safe for Republicans, and may be particularly so this year. | |
| Iowa | Republican | 44.8 D, 44.8 R | Wikipedia | ||
| Kansas | Republican | 44 D, 46 R (limited polling) | Wikipedia | ||

Probable to Flip
Using my boundary for choosing states with uncertain outcomes (leader has less than a 10 point lead), the following states can be counted. That does not mean that it is OK to give up. Your side should stay in fight until the end, and especially at the polls.
- Alabama will flip from Democrat to Republican: R+1
- Arizona will flip from Republican to Democrat: D+1
Unlikely to Flip
- New Hampshire is secure for the incumbent (D): +0

Insufficient Data
Additionally, the following states are having a Sente vote this year but did not have polling data readily available and will require more research: Oregon, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware
FWIW, I think these are not heavily polled because they are secure with the incumbent party.
