How big was the early vote for Dems? Cooper in NC, Talarico in TX and Ossoff in GA all had more EARLY votes than their opponents had in total, per @NBCNews decision desk. Put another way, they could have each received zero election day votes and still won.

NEW: Senior admin official says Iran agreement is not expected to be signed today. Iran has agreed in principle to dispose of highly enriched uranium in exchange for US lifting the blockade, and US believes Iran's supreme leader has approved the broad template for the draft deal.
