Current Events > If Sinema wins, and Nelson won the recount, what would the senate be?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The count number isn't exactly clear to me. I know Donnelly, McCaskill, and Heitkamp are flipped. On the other hand, Arizona and Nevada would be flipped too, and Florida would return to Democrats. What would the count be?

It would be 52/48

Not a bad hold in that case, given the terribad skew against the democrats.

I don't think it's a very realistic prospect that the Democrats manage to hold Nelson's seat, though. The margin is tight, but it's still a good deal larger than the few hundred votes a typical recount might swing.

The only election I can think of off the top of my head where a recount changed the result was Franken's election in 2008, and that was one where the margin ended up being about 300 votes.
