• VT-Gov: Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin appears to have won a shockingly tight race against Republican Scott Milne. Since no one took a majority of the vote, the legislature will pick the next governor. Milne has not conceded but as long as Shumlin holds a plurality of the vote it's hard to see the governor losing.

The legislature has always picked the top-vote getter since 1853, and the Democratic Party holds clear majorities in both chambers of Vermont's legislature. It's incredibly difficult to see enough Democratic legislators voting for Milne. Indeed, it's much more likely that more Republicans pick Shumlin: Republican leaders are making no effort to whip their members for Milne. In 2010 when this race also needed to be decided by the legislature, plenty of Republicans voted for Shumlin since he was the top vote-getter. Unless there's been a major tabulation error and Milne somehow pulls ahead of Shumlin, it's clear the governor will win another term, if only by the skin of his teeth.

• AZ-02: After 16,000 Pima County ballots were counted Thursday, Republican Martha McSally's lead over Democratic Rep. Ron Barber was reduced to 363 votes. At the moment no one is sure how many ballots are left. According to the Tucson Weekly there are 14,000 absentee and 10,000 provisional ballots in all of Pima County, but it is not clear how many are in the district. About 59 percent of Pima is in AZ-02. There are also 3,222 uncounted ballots in Cochise County, which is entirely contained in the 2nd District. Without knowing how many votes are left it's hard to know who is favored to come out ahead, but if Barber does as well with the last batch of Pima ballots as he did on Thursday he has a good shot to pull off a narrow win.

• CA-07: On Thursday, Republican Doug Ose's lead over Democratic Rep. Ami Bera was down to 2,183 votes. An extra 17,000 votes were counted, taking the number of uncounted ballots from 60,000 to about 43,000. Bera would need to win these by about 52.5 to 47.5 to pull ahead. Bera took the last batch with 52.4 percent, so a Democratic win looks plausible but far from assured.

• CA-16: Some Dude Republican Johnny Tacherra currently leads Democratic Rep. Jim Costa by 736 votes. No one is sure how many remaining ballots are left out, but Costa-friendly Fresno County is expected to count more on Friday afternoon, so we should have a better idea where things stand soon.

• CA-52: After trailing on Election Night, Democratic Rep. Scott Peters now holds a 861-vote lead over Republican Carl DeMaio. There are about 33,300 ballots left and as long as the remaining votes are anywhere near as disproportionately Democratic as late-counted ballots usually are in California, Peters should win. The next batch of votes is to be counted at 8 PM ET on Friday.

• NY-25: Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter now has a 651 vote lead over Republican Mark Assini, up from 582 votes on election night. Slaughter has declared victory but Assini has not conceded. There are reportedly only 1,200 to 1,300 absentees left, but an unknown number of affidavit ballots. Everything should be counted next Wednesday, but there don't appear to be enough votes left for Assini to make up the ground he needs.

• WA-04: Dan Newhouse leads fellow Republican Clint Didier 51-49, down from his 52-48 election night total. There are reportedly 40,000 votes left, many of which will be counted on Friday.

• AK-Sen, AK-Gov, VT-Gov, CA-09, CA-26, NY-25: As of this writing there are no new developments in the remaining uncalled races since our post on Thursday.

We'll be staying on top of each of these races at Daily Kos Elections as things unfold.
