There are a bunch of state races that are still undecided. It appears the Senate will be controlled by the GOP 32-30. As it stands now:
- SD-3 is upgraded from F-rated Brian Foley (D) to B-rated Lee Zeldin (R).
- SD-7 is switched from F-rated Craig Johnson (D) to ?-rated Jack Martins (R).
- SD-48 is downgraded from A-rated Darrel Aubertine (D) to B-rated Patty Ritchie (R).
- SD-60 is switched from F-rated Antoine Thompson (D) to ?-rated Mark Grisanti (R).
Antigun Republican Frank Padvan was replaced by antigun Democrat Tony Avella in SD-11 while the open seat in SD-38 went to Democrat David Carlucci who does not have a public record on gun issues that I’m aware of. SD-35 and SD-37 have incumbent antigun Democrats leading.
I expect the recounts, absentee ballots, and probable lawsuits will keep the final outcome up in the air for weeks, if not months to come. There is also the possibility that Carl Kruger and/or Ruben Diaz will caucus with the Republicans.
