(D) Key Race Projected
Speaking of Nevada, ABC News is also reporting that Democratic Rep. Susie Lee is projected to win Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. Lee’s victory means that Democrats will control three of the Silver State’s four House seats, helped out by a Democratic-drawn congressional map that made the districts of Lee and Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford somewhat bluer by incorporating Democratic-leaning areas from Democratic Rep. Dina Titus’s solidly blue seat. Titus wasn’t happy about having a competitive seat as a result of these machinations, but in the end all three Democrats won reelection. (Republican Rep. Mark Amodei won reelection in the fourth, and solidly red, seat.)
