There’s a separate thread for the Senate elections, because that’s far, far easier to track than the House races and the Gubernatorial races.
Consider this thread open to everything else! House, Governor, state and local measures, everything else!
Polls start closing at 7 PM Eastern, 4 PM Pacific. My plan is to be obsessively posting results as they come in.
Current standings:
US House of Representatives:
Republicans: 218
Democrats: 214
Vacant: 2
Independent: 1
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX23) resigned 04/14/2026.
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL20) resigned 04/21/26.
Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA3) flipped from R to I in March, 2026.
Every seat is up for re-election with 218 necessary for a majority.
Governors:
26 Republicans
24 Democrats
There are 36 seats to be decided this election, 19 of which are open races, meaning no incumbent is defending.
Mississippi was called R, but super close: ~15,200 vote difference with 92% reporting. That would have been insane. I wonder if it’s in recount territory. (Independent Ty Pinkins got 19,000 votes, for what it’s worth.)

Edit: Too close to call, probably going to head to recount territory either way. Colom ahead by 48(!) votes as of 1:12 AM:
Colom has a ~3500 vote lead at 97%. I cannot believe that MS might be in play.
