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.

Update Current called races put the House at 238 D, 146 R, with 51 still undecided. As near as I can tell, all of the flips have been R->D. Not a single Republican flipped a Democratic seat.

    I fear New Mexico is going to get a red governor.

        Very pleased with that outcome. My county did well all around, our blue state rep was elected. He seems to be a good person. He frequently comes to our weekly protests.

        The republican state rep we had would come to town but avoid seeing her constituen. She joined a local parade and at the end was ushered to her vehicle and left before she could speak with anyone.

            Yeah, I’m finding that’s true in most places. Some of the bluest states in the country still have deeply red counties. It’s just how it is

        It’s crazy that Oregon is even close. Generally one of the most left-leaning states in my experience, I wish I understood what was going on.

        Edit / 2: here’s the line I found from your second link (thanks!):

        The biggest issues on voters’ minds, the poll found, are overall affordability (87%) followed by K–12 education (85%) and housing affordability (78%). Although the debate raging over data centers has generated a lot of headlines and heat lately, only 50% of respondents said the issue was “extremely/very” important to them, making it far less of an issue than taxes (77%), homelessness (77%) or crime (73%).

        Considering that Trump is almost entirely responsible for the nationwide affordability issues via tariffs and wars, what a self-own if voters take this out on Kotek. Also, housing affordability and education are important, yes, but totally irrational to elect someone who self-identifies as GOP in 2026 and expect them to do anything to help. I hope voters find some sense.

        Between them, Santa Fe, and Taos I were hold the line. I think Hull will be as bad for the state as Martinez was, but she was preMAGA, so he will likely be worse.
