We can all agree that this is the most important election of our lifetimes. Both sides have accused the other of fascism. Surely you have a view on which is right. 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.

Likelihood to Flip

Current balance is 53:47

  1. Alabama will flip from Democrat to Republican: R+1
  2. Alaska has minimal poll data, the most recent poll showed a tie between the incumbent (R) and the challenger (D), but it's not very credible. Generally Alaska is safe for Republicans. It has become heated, though, so I'm deferring it to the list below.
  3. Arizona will flip from Republican to Democrat: D+1
  4. Colorado may flip from R to D - deferred to the list below.
  5. Georgia may flip from R to D - deferred to the list below.
  6. Idaho is secure for the incumbent (R): +0
  7. Iowa may flip from R to D - deferred to the list below.
  8. Kansas may flip from R (retired) to D - deferred to the list below.
  9. Kentucky is secure for the incumbent (R): +0
  10. Maine may flip from R to D - deferred to the list below.
  11. Michigan may flip from D to R - deferred to the list below.
  12. Minnesota is secure for the incumbent (D): +0
  13. Mississippi is secure for the incumbent (R): +0
  14. Montana may flip from R to D - deferred to the list below.
  15. New Hampshire is secure for the incumbent (D): +0
  16. New Jersey is secure for the incumbent (D): +0
  17. New Mexico may flip from D to R - deferred to the list below.

  22. Virginia is safe for the incumbent (D): +0

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
