WHITHER THE
U S SENATE 2017?

Regardless of who is elected
President, control of the U S
Senate will be crucial regarding
the fate of any Supreme Court
nomination(s).

24 senate seats are up for
election November 8, 2016.

If the current 4 - 4 composition
of the Supreme Court remains
because of lack of senate 
confirmation of any new nominees
decisions of district federal courts
will decide the fate of  major issues
that are adjudicated.

                                 
The current make up of the U S
Senate is 54 Republicans and 45
Democrats (including 1 independent).

Voters in states where Senate seats
are up for election will determine
the composition and control of the
U S Senate in 2017. 

Voters in the battleground states
pay close attention. Your votes are
twice as important.
