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.

There are 36 seats to be decided this election, 19 of which are open races, meaning no incumbent is defending.
Are you kidding? For Fox and Friends, the powerful message will be how effective the Dems rigged the election, and why none of them should be allowed to be sworn into congress. There are no teachable moments for the wilfully ignorant.
Yeah, but the election rigging works less well when the result is overwhelming for democrats. In fact, it might even alienate people who voted R before, but switched to D. Some part of the population will lap it up, but they will believe absolutely anything anyway.
