And why is that? Because all the results that can be known are now
known.

Barring a basically statistically impossible reversal in a recount in
a Congressional District in Virginia, the House of Representatives
will be composed of 257 Democrats and 178 Republicans, or 59%
Democratic. (The Democratic contender in Lousiana who initially
demanded a recount after losing by about 350 votes, conceded
yesterday).

And because of missing ballots, ambiguously marked ballots, and
controversies over the legitimacy of various absentee ballots, it is
and forever will be impossible to know for certain who actually won
the Minnesota Senate race. Yes, someone will eventually be declared
the winner, and someone (not necessarily the same person) will
probably eventually be seated by the Senate as a result of this
election (although the possibility of a do-over cannot be dismissed).

Therefore (barring seriously unexpected events) on January 3rd the new Senate
will be composed of 55 Democrats, Joe Lieberman and Bernie Sanders
(both of whom will caucus with the Democrats), and 41 Republicans.
There is the possibility (seemingly small) of a Democrat appointed
from Illinois by January 3rd, but even if that happens he or she may
not be seated. It is almost inconceivable that either Coleman or
Franken from Minnesota will be seated on January 3rd. Clinton will not
resign her seat until she is confirmed to be Secretary of State, which
will happen after January 3rd.
