one reason it's so hard to stop fentanyl is that fentanyl can be made in a variety of ways using readily available chemicals. even if you could regulate them successfully, cartels could simply use "pre-precursors" to make the precursors needed to make it.

In case you were wondering why this is. Warnock 2022 is over-performing in wealthier precincts. In other words, Walker is doing worse in those areas than Loeffler did.
In a close state like Georgia that can make the difference.

So far, the only nearly complete county (Brantley) is tracking about the same as in the initial round. Walker (R) won it by 83% the first time, winning it by 82% now. But, still votes left to count there. #GASEN

Quite a chart -> The Post's Fatal Force database shows fatal police shootings are growing since 2015, but FBI data show they are plummeting. Why? Police/States aren't reporting their data to FBI. California and Boston are among the worst at reporting data washingtonpost.com/investigations

The pattern to keep in mind for tomorrow night is "blue-red-blue". The first votes to be counted are usually early-in person. In 2022 Warnock won those votes by 7pp. And the early vote so far suggests that they might lean even more Democratic this time round.

History is happening, for me and all but 2 Senate Republicans: They are having an actual, contested vote for their conference leader.
Votes happening now.
Last actual vote between 2 Senate Rs -- Lott vs Cochran, June 1996 -- only Grassley & McConnell were here for.

The losses included Senate races in PA, AZ, NV, and NH. And governors in AZ, PA, and MI.
Wins included dog catcher in Pahrump, AZ.
