Thereās a separate thread for the Senate elections, because thatās 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. Seat Flipped D.
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL20) resigned 04/21/26. Seat Held.
Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA6) flipped from R to I in March, 2026. Seat Flipped D.
Every seat is up for re-election with 218 necessary for a majority.
Update Current called races put the House at 254 D (+40), 162 R (-56), 0 I (-1) with 19 still undecided. As near as I can tell, Republicans only managed to flip a TWO Democratic seats, Tennessee 9 and Texas 32.

Anyone have any educated projections on where the house will likely end up?
Iāve been hearing likely 255, maybe 258? A stunning swing as it is from 214.
Thanks! Love this walloping
I canāt believe Iām about to go to sleep and have an actual, real chance of waking up to a blue Texas. It was mythical, intangible, a flight of fancy. And now I might see it with my own two eyes. I know I shouldnāt have even looked but I just couldnāt resist.
Abbot just conceded! You can go to sleep now!
GTFO!!!
And Ohio just got called!
Dafuq is this feelingā½
Is this hope?
Is this what hope feels like?
Itās been so longā¦
Like hell I can. No way.
Video of the concession here:
Typical for Abbot. You know, he never would stand up for Texas.
Talarico and Hinojosa have already won.
Of the 10 already-confirmed House seats, 9 are Dems. And Iām seeing a lot of light blue squares in Texas (uncalled yet but leaning Dem).
Governor, AG, LG, RR commish - wild. Iām elated. I didnāt think it possible, even in hopeful years past. That LG get is massive due to our ridiculous state lege. Anything else majority-wise is icing at this point. I know itās not a universal rebuke across the country, even as things are going well. But I didnāt in my wildest dreams expect the absolute trouncing in the state. All TX Supreme Court seats went blue by good margins too.
I had always heard about the mythical āBlue Texasā, but I didnāt think it would come like this! Prophecy fulfilled.
Howās your state legislature looking?
Thatās a good question:
150 State House Seats, ALL up for Election.

No flips. The vacant R seat remained R. 19-12.
Interesting. So no state-level trifecta, but every statewide office plus the house of delegates is still pretty sweet. Good job, Texas!
Can you explain why a blue Texas is good? Like people moved from California to leave the bad policies behind but are voting in California policies?
Can you explain why a blue Texas is good?
sure, here is handy guide:
fascists - bad
not fascists - goodUsing the word fascist for not fascist things makes it less meaningful
'The Trump regime continues to attack all the independent institutions in this country that have traditionally served as buffers against tyranny ā universities, non-profits, lawyers and law firms, the media, science and researchers, libraries and museums, the civil service and independent agencies ā threatening them with extermination or loss of funding if they do not submit to its oversight and dictatorial demands. Trump even instructed the Department of Justice to investigate ActBlue, the platform that handles the fundraising for almost all Democratic candidates and the issues Democrats support. We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground. Trump is still actively destroying the economy. His proposed tariffs are still raising prices. His attacks on the Fed chief, Jerome Powell, persist in causing tremors around the world. Trump wants total power, even at the cost of our democracy and economy. His polls are plummeting yet many Americans are still in denial. āHeās getting things done!ā some say. āHeās tough and strong!ā Every American with any shred of authority must loudly and boldly explain the danger we are still in.
you forgot his own gestapo murdering people in the streets, running concentration camps and deporting us citizens into third world countries ignoring the court order telling him not to do so
Not sure what youre on about but, just in case, California =/= Texas
Texas got a huge influx of Californians because California has horrible policies. Now Texas is āblueā which is āgoodā becauseā¦ Moving states and voting for the same shit that ruined the state you moved from is ridiculously dumb.
I really like the policy of the government not actively trying to kill me.
So this seems like a good sign for that
Howās it actively trying to kill you
They sorta just came out and said it. They think weāre āunhumansā that need to be killed. Weāre not real humans so the law canāt protect us. JD Vance waved around a manifesto saying conservatives need to load up their muskets and ignore the rules. A lot of us believe them when they say they want us to die.
Lmao. People left California because the cost of living is too high because so many people want to live there (and because the state government is too capitalist to do anything to make it affordable). So they went to Texas, where itās cheap because no one wants to live there because itās even more capitalist.
Yeah and they are going to make the same fucking thing in Texas. How are you so near sighted to not see this.
Cool gif I guess?
Do you think Iām from California for some reason?
Why would I think that? Youāre a Democrat I just think youāre dumb.
Have you ever been to California? How is it ruined?
Homelessness. Taxes. Cost of living. Drugs. Literally everything. And if you look at Houston, the same shit is starting from the moving of Californians
it was federal election. not state. what california policies? texas is still red on the inside they just went blue on federal level. In other words NOTHING changed for texas, but a lot changed on federal level
dafuq? gov, lt gov, and a few others already flipped D
What bad policies?
A significant number of republicans didnāt leave California. It looks like there are around 5 million there. Texas is estimated to have only 6 million republicans.
Susan Collins has been defeated. Looks like Maine voters finally wised up.
Texas fuckery for you: My coworker is a registered voter and Puerto Rican. He tried to vote a few weeks ago, but the lady at the election place got sketchy and told him thereās a problem with his registration.
Yesterday he got a new registration card and planned to vote todayā¦but they pulled a switcheroo on the location. The place where all the early voting happened is closed today in favor of an alternate location.
He was a maga voter last election who has since learned, and these barriers to his vote have reinforced his move back from the dark side.
Was he able to vote?
He and his wife are in line now. When I hear back Iāll edit this comment. The poll workers will be hard pressed to turn them away with fresh voter ID cards, but that doesnāt mean they wonāt try.
Edit: They were able to vote.
š¤š¤
They voted šš¼
Excellent šš
YES!!! Thanks for the update
From the future:
Even with all the fuckery, we got Blexas. Howās your coworker feeling now?
Heās not what Iād call happy or enthusiastic about the blue wave, but he knows the alternative is not even an option. Obviously I had to rib him over finally pulling his head out of his ass!
Well, while agree thatās some fuckery going on there, in my county the early voting location (only one in the county) is never open on election day (when there are many other locations open).
Thank you, MAGA, for this generational win. Watching Hannity choke down tears while announcing Andrewsā win in South Carolina gave me such a wonderful sense of patriotic schadenfreude.
Georgia has its first Democratic governor in 28 years!
And the first black woman governor, I think.
in US history, correct. also got our first out and proud trans lawmakerā¦in GEORGIA.
While I appreciate that democrats in general are āfor they/themā, itās nice to actually see a they/them take seat of power in government.
as a they/them myself, i couldnt agree more :)
IIRC it was a clean sweep. Secretary of State and AG as well.
AP hasnāt called Sec. State or House D2, but they are not looking good. I was expecting a R sweep, but I was really really wanting to get rid of Cotton.EDIT: Sorry, I lost the thread context. The above was about my state of Arkansas (where Rs are going to sweep).
Great! More blue in the South can only be good. I hope the Ds down here can focus on Working-class issues. If we could get a generation of blue-collar workers (incl. farmers and ranchers) that donāt automatically vote R āfor economic reasonsā, we might also see some movement on other attitudes.
CNN saying dems win control of the house.
MSNOW is calling a minimum of 235 seats.
AP doesnāt make projections but in confirmed seats alone, Dems are already up 153 to 95 with 187 seats yet to be called.
And Iām seeing a lot of light blue (meaning uncalled seats leaning Dem)
I cannot believe Texas is going blue! Hell yeah!
Pretty damning that this election is even exciting.
FOR A MID-TERM!
Nah, I meant it should be like 3-5% republican votes by now, but fascists seem to be scary numerous among the US populations.
Look at the results. Republicans are crumbling. Sure they still have strongholds, but so many deeply red seats have been flipping all night.
So it seems we overthrew the government yesterday. Good job, everyone.
But weāve still got two years of the shitstain, so itās going to be tough for a while.
We also have to keep the same pressure on the Dem Congress we were putting on the MAGA Congress (or even more because that wasnāt enough either).
How many more DSA and generally anti-genocide politicians are in power now? Michigan even elected the anti-Fetterman in El-Sayed. The anti-genocide bloc is no longer a tiny fringe group, it DECIMATED AIPAC last night.
The pro-universal healthcare bloc is no longer a tiny fringe group. The people DECIMATED private healthcare funded Super PACs last night.
People need to understand we accomplished last night. We sent a message to the DNC that every Dem who defies their voter base can lose, no matter how much money they fight is with.
We CANNOT lose that energy
We also have to keep the same pressure on the Dem Congress we were putting on the MAGA Congress (or even more because that wasnāt enough either).
YES! For some reason, this is where everyone gets lost. We have these people talking about how voting Democrat wonāt matter because theyāre still not going to be effective, theyāre not left enough, thereās no point in ever voting or performing your civic duty and that we should all give up and die.
But like, take the energy and anger you have against Republicans and apply that to the Democrats et. al. when they actually have some kind of power. NOW is the time to push for change. Lean on the old gaurd and show them what we want out of their party. We just showed that weāll cut out the rotted growth of America if given the chance. Dems that donāt get the picture should be next.
The fight has ONLY begun.
What pressureā¦donāt act like Fascists or we throw the Fascists back in? In the end, thereās just another corrupt party in power stuffing its pockets.
Donāt act like fascists or weāll primary your asses.
We proved with the DSA victories and El-Sayed that AIPAC and billionaire funding is nowhere near as effective as it once was.
You made me bark out a laugh, thank you.
āOverthrew the governmentā you kill me
Credit where credit is due, itās a line from The West Wing. āŗļø
Every single stupid asshole who boycotted the 2024 election better get their asses to the polls and vote Dem if they havenāt already.
You stupid assholes refused to act when it would have been the easiest for you to do so, and your lack of action contributed to the hell we live in today.
The blood of Iranians, Palestinians, the Lebanese, Cubans, Venezuelans, hundreds of innocent fisherman, everyone who relied on USAID, and everyone being kidnapped and dissapeared by ICE IS ON YOUR HANDS TOO.
YOU FUCKING FAILED EVERYONE YOUāRE SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEM.
Iāve heard ālast chanceā on elections for my entire life, it gets a little funnier every year. Never change
Hey dumbfuck, any president establish his own gestapo force and start shipping people off to concentration camps in your lifetime?
Any president completely bypass Congressās power of the purse and ruin the economy in your lifetime before?
Any president attempt a coup and still become president again in your lifetime before?
Any president completely and illegally get away with destroying almost every possible institution that is supposed to keep his power checked in your lifetime before.
This objectively is the most important election of our lifetimes, and the most consequential. If the GOP is allowed to win, democracy dies. Thatās a fact.
Please do change, youāre an insufferable asshole and Iām sure everyone around you agrees.
āWeāve been walking on a tightrope over a gaping hellish ever-deepening chasm my whole life, and itās just so funny when people think every step is the most important one.ā
Very true. We should go to an ICE camp and El Salvador to ask one of those deportees if they agree.

Get over yourself.
What about the people who boycotted over Palestine?
Oh yeah, Palestine is doing so much better with the US controlled by a pedophile who Epstein recorded blackmail of and gave to Israel, like we knew BEFORE THE 2024 ELECTION.
In fact, look how well Lebanon and Iran are doing too! /s
The /s means sarcasm. I assume I have to explain that to someone saying as stupid shit as you just did.
Are you under the impression that Gaza is better off now then it would have been with Harris as POTUS?
I donāt think it would have been in either administration. Biden didnāt do anything so there was no need for Harris to do anything either had she been elected
They werenāt going to let gaza get leveled thatās for sure

Mississippi was called R, but super close: ~15,200 vote difference with 92% reporting. That would have been insane. I wonder if itās in recount territory. (Independent Ty Pinkins got 19,000 votes, for what itās worth.)
https://abcnews.com/Politics/mississippi-2026-live-midterm-election-results/story?id=136767242
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.
Now 43 vote lead with 96% on ABC, not seeing the 97% reporting - but great if thatās the case.
Friend of mine noted how nice it is that Elmo Muskrat wasted all that money on the election.
Musk still proved that heās a Trillion are willing to dump $400++ million into elections for the lulz.
Itās still a bad thing. Trillionare didnāt even waste 0.1% of his wealth on this election.
We need campaign finance reform, or at a minimum a concerted effort to punish Musk (and other Billionaires) who fuck with our elections.
Now greater than 95% chance Democrats take both the House and Senate, according to the NYT tracker.
