Not called, unless the last column says otherwise, because the count is within 1.5 points: those go to the count and the state’s recount rules. The catch-up bar is the count’s lead against the votes left, from the offices’ own counts where they report them, else our estimate. Our estimate is not a call. How we call races →

How the Senate was decided
The Democrats’ 51st seat is Kansas, won by 5.1 points. To lose the majority they would have to lose it and every closer seat they won or lead: OH, SC, IA, MS. AK is headed to ranked-choice rounds, shown apart in gray.
Each square is one race: solid when won, pale while it is still being counted, the number its margin in points. Democrats hold 34 seats not on this year’s ballot and Republicans 31.
How close the Republicans came to 50 seats
Republicans have 44 seats, counting those not up this year, with Alaska still to be decided in its ranked-choice count. 168,243 voters in six states switching from the Democrat to the Republican would have given them 50 seats, half the chamber, with Democrats at 49 and one seat undecided. At 50–50 the vice president, a Republican, breaks the tie (the Constitution, Article I, Section 3; the White House).
- Mississippi 1,323, still counting: Colom leads by 2,645
- Maine 21,634
- Kansas 27,793
- Iowa 27,936
- New Hampshire 43,648
- South Carolina 45,909
The votes to reverse a seat are half the winner’s lead in votes, plus one: that many voters switching sides would turn it. A seat still being counted goes to the count’s leader; a race headed to ranked-choice rounds or a runoff goes to neither. The seats not up this year are counted as held: 34 Democrats and independents, 31 Republicans.
The House popular vote
In the 415 contested seats counted so far, Democratic candidates have 60,467,561 votes and Republicans 48,381,844: D+10.9.
The 218th seat from the Democrats’ end, Kentucky 6th District, went D+9.4: the seat that decided the majority voted about 1.5 points more Republican than the 415 races with both parties on the ballot together. Counting every race, the vote was D+13.0 and the gap about 3.6 points, but that count takes in the unopposed seats and the races between two candidates of one party, which add one party’s votes with none against them.
Both parties on the ballot: the races with a Democrat against a Republican, their votes by party as a share of all their votes. Every House race: each race’s two leading candidates’ votes, added by party, as a share of all votes cast for the House. The 218th seat: the races ordered by the count’s margin, Democrat minus Republican, with an unopposed race, a race between two candidates of one party or a race headed to a runoff placed at its winner’s or leader’s end. The lean is the 218th seat’s margin minus the House vote’s. Seats still counting go by the count as it stands.

How we call races
- A 99.5% chanceWe call a race when our estimate of the finish gives the leader 99.5% or more and the leader leads the count.
- Enough of the vote countedAt least 80% of the expected vote must be counted, or at least half of it where the whole likely range is more than five points from even. On election night a person also called races by the arithmetic of the votes left, where the lead could not be overturned even if the rest broke heavily the other way.
- Held within 1.5 pointsWe hold every call while the count is within 1.5 points, where it is left to the count and the state's recount rules.
- Held for a runoff or ranked-choice roundsWe also hold it while a runoff or ranked-choice rule leaves the leader short of a majority. A person approves every call.
Counts come from each state’s election office. Where a state’s site can’t be read, they are the official state and county counts as gathered by civicAPI, a free service. Every race page names its source and when we read it, and all the sources are listed together. Calls are Call the Map’s own.
