Analyzing the vote
Your guide to the midterm results, from Times reporters
Key races ›
Democrats secure “trifectas” in many competitive states
Democrats held onto or gained “trifectas” in a number of states and fended off Republican supermajorities in others. Taking control of the governorship and both legislative chambers in these states could ease Democrats’ ability to pass legislation on an array of issues. Read more › Nov. 17, 2022
Arizona Governor ›
In Arizona governor’s race, post-election ballot tallies narrow the margin
The gap between the candidates for Arizona governor narrowed considerably after Nov. 8 as late absentee ballots were tallied, including ones dropped off on Election Day. These ballots, which in 2020 favored Trump, were not enough to tilt the election in favor of the Republican candidate Kari Lake. Nov. 14, 2022
Senate analysis ›
Where Senate Candidates Outperformed Biden and Trump
With Senator Cortez Masto’s victory in Nevada, Democrats will retain Senate control, even if Republicans win a run-off election in Georgia. While Tuesday’s election represented a strong performance by a first-term president’s party, the individual showings of Senate candidates varied widely. Read more › Nov. 14, 2022
U.S. House ›
Candidates with ties to QAnon conspiracy theory lose ground
Three Republican House candidates who have supported QAnon underperformed compared with Trump, despite most House Republicans outperforming the former president. Lauren Boebert, incumbent in Colorado’s 3rd district, is in an unexpectedly close race in what was considered a safe Republican district. Nov. 10, 2022
Georgia Senate ›
Where Walker received less of the vote than Kemp
More than 200,000 Georgia voters cast ballots for Brian Kemp, Republican candidate for governor, but did not vote for Herschel Walker in the Senate race. Compared to Kemp’s reported votes, Walker’s fell short in every county, but especially in the Atlanta area and its suburbs. Nov. 10, 2022
Mich. Proposal 3 ›
Where Michiganders supported abortion rights and a Republican for governor
Support for the abortion proposal was stronger than support for reelected Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, in 76 of the state’s 83 counties. Eight counties that voted Yes on the proposal also voted for the Republican candidate for governor, Tudor Dixon. Nov. 10, 2022
Path to 218 ›
Tracking the remaining House races
As of noon Eastern time, Democrats have won 190 House seats, Republicans have won 208, and 37 are still undecided. If Republicans win all of the races where they are currently leading by two points or more, they’ll take control of the House. Follow along here › Nov. 10, 2022
Texas Governor ›
Greg Abbott wins in Texas, but still lagged in Hispanic counties
In Texas, majority-Hispanic counties also swung to the right, but to a much lesser degree than in Florida. Voters in these counties overall continued to support the Democratic candidate for governor, Beto O’Rourke. Nov. 9, 2022
Florida Governor ›
DeSantis made large gains in Hispanic counties
Majority-Hispanic counties in Florida voted to reelect Gov. Ron DeSantis over Democratic opponent Charlie Crist by a margin of 11 percentage points. These same counties favored Biden over Trump in 2020 by a margin of 8 percentage points — a whopping 19-point swing. Nov. 9, 2022
Drug policy ›
Mixed success for marijuana ballot measures
Maryland and Missouri voted to legalize recreational marijuana for people 21 and older, while voters in Arkansas, North Dakota and South Dakota rejected similar measures. In Colorado, a measure to decriminalize certain psychedelics is close but yet to be decided. Nov. 9, 2022
Abortion access ›
Where the midterms mattered most for abortion access
Voters in three states enshrined lasting protections for abortion rights in their state Constitutions. In two states, shifts in state power could lead to new restrictions. In Ariz., Mont., Neb. and Pa., competitive state races with consequences for abortion remain too close to call. Read more › Nov. 9, 2022
Pennsylvania elections ›
Four Pennsylvania counties split their tickets
John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate for Senate, won by a smaller margin than Josh Shapiro, the Democratic candidate for governor. Four counties — all of which supported Trump in 2020 — voted for Shapiro but chose Dr. Oz, the Republican, for the Senate. Nov. 9, 2022
Michigan elections ›
In Michigan’s national and state-level races, Democrats triumph
Democratic House candidates outperformed Biden in several Michigan districts, bucking a rightward trend and maintaining seven of their seats. Democrats also won the Governor’s office, State Senate, and appear poised to take the State Assembly, and voters affirmed abortion rights in the state. Nov. 9, 2022
U.S. House ›
New York could be an important key in pathway to Republican control of House
House districts rated as tossups have been called mostly in favor of Democrats so far, with one state as a glaring exception: New York. Republicans have won in four of five New York tossup seats, and the Republican candidate is ahead in the fifth. Nov. 9, 2022
Election deniers ›
Which 2020 election deniers and skeptics won
More than 210 Republicans who questioned the 2020 election have won seats in the U.S. House and Senate and in state races for governor, secretary of state and attorney general, according to results as of 12 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday. Here’s who won › Nov. 9, 2022
Georgia Governor ›
In Georgia, a tale of two races
While the race for Georgia’s senate seat remains extremely tight, the Governor’s race was decided last night. Brian Kemp gained more votes compared to Trump in 2020 all across Georgia, beating Stacey Abrams by a more than seven-point margin. Nov. 9, 2022
Ohio Senate ›
Vance carries Ohio Senate amidst statewide left swing
J.D. Vance won Ohio handily even as almost every part of the state voted more for Democrats than they did in 2020. Nov. 9, 2022
Nevada Senate ���
Nevada’s urban counties could tighten race
Cortez Masto is behind in Nevada at the moment, but there are a lot of votes left in Clark and Washoe, counties home to the state's largest cities. The remaining vote there could tighten the race as it is counted. Nov. 9, 2022
U.S. Senate ›
Three key Senate races to watch
The Senate races in Georgia, Nevada and Arizona are very tight, and vote counting is expected to drag into the week. The outcomes of the races in these three states will decide the balance of power in the Senate. Nov. 9, 2022
Texas Governor ›
Despite defeat, O’Rourke maintained support along the border
The feared Democratic collapse along the Rio Grande didn’t materialize. Beto O’Rourke performed better than expected in these majority-Hispanic counties. Nov. 9, 2022
U.S. Senate ›
What each party needs to win control of the Senate
Democrats and Republicans each need to win three more competitive Senate seats to win control of the chamber (in addition to the races they are expected to win most easily). Here’s the state of the closest races: Nov. 9, 2022
Pennsylvania Senate ›
Fetterman ahead in counties finished counting
With more counties nearly finished counting, things keep looking better for Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. He’s outperforming Biden across the state and is currently up 8 points in counties that were the closest in 2020. Nov. 9, 2022
When polls close ›
Polls close at midnight Eastern in two states
Alaska has competitive races for both the Senate and the House, neither of which is a straightforward Democrat-versus-Republican affair. Don’t expect quick results in either race; officials in Alaska won’t finish counting absentee ballots for about two weeks. Nov. 8, 2022
Florida Governor ›
How Majority-Hispanic counties voted in Florida
Gov. DeSantis outperformed Trump in Florida in every county that has nearly finished counting votes. While the three majority-Hispanic counties — Hendry, Miami-Dade and Osceola — shifted the most, Latino turnout tends to drop more in the midterms compared with other groups. Nov. 8, 2022
Arizona Senate ›
Arizona’s Senate race looks like a tossup
The early vote in Arizona has been strong for Democrat Mark Kelly, but we expect a good portion of the in-person and late-counted mail vote to favor Blake Masters. It could be awhile before all votes are counted. Nov. 8, 2022
When polls close ›
Polls close at 11 p.m. Eastern in two states
In Washington State, Senator Patty Murray is facing a strong Republican challenge, though she remains favored to win. Aside from that, the main action at this hour will be in the House, with a close race in Washington’s 8th District and at least half a dozen in California. Nov. 8, 2022
Wisconsin Senate ›
Wisconsin is leaning toward Johnson
It’s still early in Wisconsin, but it looks close. In the counties where most of the vote is in, Senator Ron Johnson is running ahead of Trump. Nov. 8, 2022
Kentucky Amendment 2 ›
Kentuckians appear to rebuke restrictive abortion amendment
Kentucky, a solidly red state, reelected Rand Paul to the Senate. But so far, voters are rejecting an effort to deny abortion rights. However the state already bans abortions, and that is unlikely to change. Nov. 8, 2022
Pennsylvania Senate ›
Early returns favor Fetterman
It’s still early, but Fetterman is running ahead of Biden in five Pennsylvania counties that have reported nearly all of their votes. Nov. 8, 2022
The Needle ›
How to read The Needle charts
These charts show how the reported vote margin (the dashed line) compares with our estimated final margin (the solid line, surrounded by bands of uncertainty) over time. When reported data comes in that is not what we expected, our model will update and incorporate this new data. Nov. 8, 2022
Virginia 7th District ›
Fast counting in rural Virginia counties boosts Republican candidate
Rural counties in Virginia’s 7th district are counting votes more quickly than its most populous and left-leaning county, Prince William. It’s giving Yesli Vega, the Republican candidate, an edge over incumbent Abigail Spanberger, though this could be temporary. Here’s where we think votes remain. Nov. 8, 2022
When polls close ›
Polls close at 10 p.m. Eastern in five states
Nevada is the last big swing state of the day, and virtually everything is up for grabs: The races for Senate, three House seats, governor and secretary of state. There is also an unexpectedly competitive Senate race in Utah between Senator Mike Lee, a Republican, and Evan McMullin, an independent. Nov. 8, 2022
Florida Governor ›
Shift to the right in Florida
The shift to the right has been dramatic among counties in Florida reporting nearly all their votes. Eight of those counties that voted for Biden in 2020 shifted 16 points to the right in the race for governor, and 12 points in the Senate race. Nov. 8, 2022
When polls close ›
Polls close at 9 p.m. Eastern in 10 states
Arizona has multiple races featuring Republicans who have questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election. In Wisconsin, Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican, is up for re-election against Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, and there is a close contest for governor. Nov. 8, 2022
Ohio Senate ›
Another state with misleading early returns: Ohio
Democrat Tim Ryan leads Republican J.D. Vance in the returns, but almost all of the results are early votes, which we expect to disproportionately favor Democrats. Here’s where we think votes remain. Nov. 8, 2022
Georgia Senate ›
Why early results may be misleading in Georgia
Senator Raphael Warnock is out with an early lead in Georgia, but it could all be just a mirage. Most of the vote reporting so far is early, and Democrats are expected to win those votes by a large margin. Nov. 8, 2022
The Needle ›
The NYT Needle is live
The Times’s election forecast is now running. We use early returns and polling data to estimate in real time the outcome of the elections for Senate and House control. Here’s how it works › Nov. 8, 2022
When polls close ›
Polls close at 8 p.m. Eastern in 19 states and D.C.
Pennsylvania is home to a close Senate race between Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a Democrat, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, a Republican. Michiganders are voting on abortion rights. And Kansas’ Democratic governor, Laura Kelly, is in a tight re-election race, as is Gov. Janet Mills of Maine. Nov. 8, 2022
When polls close ›
Polls close at 7:30 p.m. Eastern in three states
Republicans are favored to win the open Senate races in North Carolina and Ohio, but if Democrats have a better-than-expected day, these are two places we might see evidence of it. We’ll also be watching competitive House races in N.C.-13 and Ohio-9. Nov. 8, 2022
Florida Governor ›
Early vote in Miami shows Republican strength
Gov. Ron DeSantis winning the early vote in Miami-Dade County — which voted for Hillary Clinton by +29 points just six years ago — is yet another sign of growing Republican strength among Hispanic voters. Nov. 8, 2022
When polls close ›
Polls close at 7 p.m. Eastern in six states
The Georgia Senate race, which could go to a Dec. 6 runoff, could determine which party controls the chamber. In Virginia, the performances of Democratic incumbents in the 2nd and 7th districts may offer early indications of how the party will fare in House races overall. Nov. 8, 2022
U.S. House ›
What’s at stake in the House
Republicans must win just 19 competitive seats to retake majority control from the Democrats. To retain control of the House, Democrats must win 46 of these seats (after accounting for the races the parties are expected to win most easily). Nov. 8, 2022
When polls close ›
First polls close at 6 p.m. Eastern in Kentucky and Indiana
In Kentucky, voters will decide whether to approve a constitutional amendment that would effectively ensure the implementation of a near-total abortion ban. In Indiana, a House race in the 1st district leans Democratic, but, if the seat were to flip, it could be an early sign of a red wave. Nov. 8, 2022
U.S. Senate ›
What’s at stake in the Senate
If Democrats hold onto two seats leaning their way, they will need to win three additional tossup seats to maintain control of the Senate. Republicans would need just two tossup seats beyond what they are favored to win. Nov. 8, 2022
Results timing ›
Results in key Senate races could take awhile
Six of the eight most competitive Senate races are in states that did not call a winner in the presidential race until after election night: Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. What we expect this year › Nov. 8, 2022
Early returns
Be wary of ‘mirages’ on election night
Because of the order in which different types of ballots are counted, early returns can be misleading. In 2020, Virginia’s early vote for president favored Republicans, while Pennsylvania’s skewed toward Democrats. These “mirages” show that vote margins early in the night can change significantly. Nov. 8, 2022
When polls close ›
Polls in most states will close by 9 p.m. Eastern
Results will begin coming in at 6 p.m. Eastern as the first polls close in Indiana and Kentucky, but the pace will really pick up with a slew of closings at 7 and 8. By 9 p.m., the polls will have closed in a majority of states. Nov. 8, 2022
