This looks like the winner.

Bump.

I will post the scores as soon as those evidently counting-impaired officials are done over yonder.

[Drogue]

So I got the governmor bit wrong, but looks like I'll be damn close on the national elections Reckon a 200-49 is more likely though.

[Bosh]

Guess I should've been more optimistic

And Ben Kenobi wrong by an order of magnitude yet again

While we await the final result for the House and the number of Governors, here are the provisional scores - assuming that the numbers will be 203 - 49 - 22 Republicans in the House, Senate and Governorships respectively.

Those numbers are based on the Associated Press' estimation of which way the remaining 1 Governorship and 10 seats for the House are leaning at this point in time.

! indicates that 5 points were awarded for predicting the exact number of Republicans in a given body.

Ranked by provisional scores:

1. Eli: 205 - 49 - 22 --- Prov. score: -2; 5!; 5! = +8
2. DanS: 210 - 49 - 22 --- Prov. score: -7; 5!; 5! = +3
3. Ninot: 205 - 52 - 22 --- Prov. score: -2; -3; 5! = 0
4. Odin: 210 - 49 - 21 --- Prov. score: -7; 5!; -1 = -3
5. ixnay: 195 - 49 - 21 --- Prov. score: -8; 5!; -1 = -4
5. Jonny: 205 - 50 - 23 --- Prov. score: -2; -1; -1 = -4
7. Drogue: 201 - 50 - 24 --- Prov. score: -2; -1; -2 = -5
8. Admiral: 210 - 51 - 23 --- Prov. score: -7; -2; -1 = -10
8. Berzerker: 209 - 51 - 24 --- Prov. score: -6; -2; -2 = -10
8. Jon Miller: 196 - 48 - 20 --- Prov. score: -7; -1; -2 = -10
8. Ramo: 210 - 51 - 21 --- Prov. score: -7; -2; -1 = -10
12. MRT144: 212 - 50 - 23 --- Prov. score: -9; -1; -1 = -11
13. Bosh: 212 - 51 - 24 --- Prov. score: -9; -2; -2 = -13
13. Sir Og: 212 - 52 - 23 --- Prov. score: -9; -3; -1 = -13
13. SlowwHand: 209 - 52 - 26 --- Prov. score: -6; -3; -4 = -13
16. korn469: 212 - 51 - 26 --- Prov. score: -9; -2; -4 = -15
16. Rufus T. Firefly: 215 - 50 - 20 --- Prov. score: -12; -1; -2 = -15
18. Deity Dude: 219 - 52 - 23 --- Prov. score: -16; -3; -1 = -20
19. Winston: 221 - 52 - 24 --- Prov. score: -18; -3; -2 = -23
20. VJ: 217 - 50 - 31 --- Prov. score: -14; -1; -9 = -24
21. Ben Kenobi: 225 - 54 - 25 --- Prov. score: -22; -5; -3 = -30
22. Lars-E: 226 - 51 - 29 --- Prov. score: -23; -2; -7 = -32
23. Whoha: 235 - 56 - 30 --- Prov. score: -32; -7; -8 = -47

I think that's a very good show from all of the top 7, and a provisional congrats! to Eli for topping the table in a most convincing manner.

I will of course revise the scores and ranking if and when the final results deviate from these estimates.
