8:07 PM PT: If you’re just tuning in, Democrats have lost SD-02, SD-10 and SD-14. We’re looking good in SD-32, and our model has us on track for a narrow win in SD-18. It will probably all come down to SD-08, where a large amount of the vote is still outstanding.

8:10 PM PT: King has taken a super-thin lead, 50.14% to 49.86%. 87% reporting.

8:11 PM PT: The AP calls SD-32 for Democrat Jennifer Shilling.

8:17 PM PT: Uh oh. Washington County (PDF) has reported (not on AP yet), and they have Pasch losing by 5,000 votes. That could be the nail in the coffin.

We'll get straight to the point: The financial hardships that Daily Kos is facing this year are tough.

We continue to be paywall-free. We continue to be supported by our readers, not billionaires or corporations. But we need to bring in more revenue. We are leaning on our community more than ever to help make ends meet.
