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. 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.

      Musk still proved that he’s a Trillion are willing to dump $400++ million into elections for the lulz.

      It’s still a bad thing. Trillionare didn’t 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.

    Incredible that with a Fascist government destroying the economy, there are still going to be hundreds of Republicans elected.

    Will Trump say that the elections were stolen today? Or tonight?

    Will he wait a whole day even? No, that’s crazy. Tonight at the latest

    So it seems we overthrew the government yesterday. Good job, everyone.

    But we’ve still got two years of the shitstain, so it’s 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 wasn’t 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

        What pressure…don’t act like Fascists or we throw the Fascists back in? In the end, there’s just another corrupt party in power stuffing its pockets.

          Don’t act like fascists or we’ll 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.

        YES! For some reason, this is where everyone gets lost. We have these people talking about how voting Democrat won’t matter because they’re still not going to be effective, they’re not left enough, there’s 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 we’ll cut out the rotted growth of America if given the chance. Dems that don’t get the picture should be next.

        The fight has ONLY begun.

      I was struggling to fall asleep last night. Just happened to take a look at election results and senate was already over 50 seats blue, the ticker updated to 219 blue and it was the most relaxing feeling, stress I didnt know I had gone and replaced with a glimmer of hope, been a minute. Welcome back friend!

        Yes. I feel like something very deep has unknotted, or as my better half put it, “I feel like I got upgraded to a better blood pressure medication,” lol. Thank you for the kind wishes. I hope we continue to dig ourselves out of this hole.

      "Donald Trump has spent a decade poisoning American politics, destroying reputations, threatening opponents and bending the Republican Party to his will. Today, finally, America turned on him. But the sheer scale of his humiliation could prove every bit as devastating as the reckoning now awaiting him. In the USA there are very powerful interests who demand “freedom” in order to do as they like with the environment, society and the economy. They have infused a very large part of American culture with the belief that “freedom” is literally more important than life. My freedom to own assault weapons trumps your right not to get shot at school. Now, my freedom to go to the barber (“I Need a Haircut” read one banner this week in St Paul, Minnesota) trumps your need to avoid infection. Usually when this kind of outlandish idiocy is displaying itself, there is the comforting thought that, if things were really serious, it would all stop. People would sober up. Instead, a large part of the US has hit the bottle even harder. And the president, his party and their media allies keep supplying the drinks. There has been no moment of truth, no shock of realisation that the antics have to end. No one of any substance on the US right has stepped in to say: get a grip, people are dying here. That is the mark of how deep the trouble is for the US – it is not just that Trump has treated the crisis merely as a way to feed tribal hatreds but that this behaviour has become normalised. When the freak show is live on TV every evening, and the star is boasting about his ratings, it is not really a freak show any more. For a very large and solid bloc of Americans, it is reality. And this will get worse before it gets better. Trump has many months in power. In his inaugural address he evoked “American carnage” and promised to make it stop. But now that the real carnage has arrived, he is revelling in it. He is in his element. As things get worse, he will pump more hatred and falsehood, more death-wish defiance of reason and decency, into the groundwater. If a new administration succeeds him in future it will have to clean up the toxic dump he leaves behind. If he returns in some way, toxicity will have become the lifeblood of American politics. Either way, it will be a very long time before the rest of the world can imagine America being great again.’

    I am betting that trans Americans everywhere are breathing a huge sigh of relief right now.
