Democrats heading for strong majority
Democrats are poised to have a strong majority in the upcoming Congress. The final numbers are still being determined and several races remain outstanding.
Alaska race uses ranked choice voting
In Alaska, no candidate in the four-person Senate race has achieved a fifty percent majority in the count. It may proceed to another round of counting later this month.
Mississippi race hinges on provisional ballots
Mississippi's Senate race uses a traditional electoral system but a large number of provisional ballots, called affidavit ballots in the state, are taking time to count.Less than two thousand votes separate the top two candidates.
What it means
Democrats are poised for a strong majority in Congress as most races have been called, but Alaska and Mississippi Senate races remain outstanding.
