ELECTION LATEST – AT 4:53 P.M. ET:  Montana is gone.  Dem incumbent Senator Jon Tester is projected to win a narrow victory over GOP challenger Matt Rosendale.

In Florida, incumbent Dem Senator Bill Nelson, apparently defeated by a whisker by Republican Rick Scott, has asked for a recount.  Since the vote margin is less than half a percent, Nelson is legally entitled to it.  This could take days or weeks.

In Arizona, we are waiting for uncounted early ballots to be counted.  Martha McSally retains a narrow lead over Democrat Krysten Sinema.

In Georgia, Stacey Abrams still refuses to concede defeat, and is considering legal options even though her opponent, Republican Brian Kemp, has 50.3% of the vote.  In Georgia, if no one reaches 50% in the governor's race, there is a runoff.  But Kemp has reached 50%.  I don't get it either.  I suspect we're in store for several weeks of racial politics, in which Abrams will charge voter suppression.
