2026 General Elections Megathread!
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 255 D (+41), 166 R (-52), 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.

What’s the point of a megathread if nothing is added or updated in it?

I can’t believe I’m 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 shouldn’t have even looked but I just couldn’t resist.

Thank you, MAGA, for this epic win. Watching Hannity choke down tears while announcing Andrews’ win in South Carolina gave me such a wonderful sense of patriotic schadenfreude.

Democrats will win big tonight then give their own voters the middle finger by appointing Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker and Chuck Schumer as Leader, and nothing will fundamentally change. This is how the duopoly works, which is why we need to topple the system.
