ADVERTISEMENTS
After yesterday's voting, the balance of power in the U.S. Senate stands at 56 Democrats and 40 Republicans, with four seats undecided: The States with undecided seats are Alaska, Georgia, Minnesota, and Oregon. The Republican candidate currently has a narrow lead in all four states, with the narrowest lead in Minnesota, where Al Franken is trailing by only 662 votes with 99% of the precincts reporting, according to CNN.

The composition of the U.S. Senate is, of course, relevant to the question of federal judicial confirmations, and sixty votes are needed to have a filibuster-proof majority.

In related news coverage, The New York Times reports today that "Democrats Widen Senate Edge to Solid Majority."
