The state of the Senate and House races
From here:
Republicans Seize Senate Control with Key Wins, Shifting Political Power Dynamics
· The Republicans have gained control of the Senate with a pickup of at least three seats, securing wins in West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana.
· Key Senate races in Nevada, Michigan, Arizona, and Pennsylvania remain undecided, with GOP candidates leading in Nevada and Pennsylvania.
· The GOP’s increased presence in the Senate may reduce the influence of moderate Republican senators, impacting the confirmation process for Trump’s nominees.
From Brave AI:
Key Senate Races:
· Arizona: Republican Kari Lake has conceded to Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, who will win the Senate seat.
· West Virginia: Republican Jim Justice won the seat vacated by retiring Sen. Joe Manchin, flipping the seat for the GOP.
· Nebraska: Republican Pete Ricketts will continue to serve as a senator, with the race against independent Dan Osborn too close to call.
Key House Races:
· Michigan’s 7th District: Republican Tom Barrett won the seat, flipping it for the GOP.
· Pennsylvania’s 7th District: The race between Democrat Susan Wild and Republican Ryan Mackenzie remains too close to call.
· New York’s 19th District: The rematch race between Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Nick LaLota remains too close to call.
I am not sure whether this is accurate:
“Governor’s Races:
· Arizona: Republican Kari Lake won the governor’s race, defeating Democrat Katie Hobbs.
· Michigan: Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer won re-election, defeating Republican Tudor Dixon.
Maybe Brave AI is not bang up to date here either:
Remaining Uncalled Races:
Over 50 House races remain uncalled, with many too close to project a winner. The tallies will continue to change as more ballots are counted in the coming days.
From NBC
Which is 397 out of 435 seats in the House and 38, not 50 undecided – black mark for Brave AI!
Onwards!!!

Over the last year using Brave, I've come across times I could not bring up certain things on Brave that I knew existed, so I would use Duckduckgo & the info was found quickly. I stuck with Brave thinking it just needed more time to increase its findings, but will be trying other browsers. Not sure if there are any that aren't being tampered with. I quit using big G more than 6-7yrs ago, & have disabled a number of parts of G on my android phone. It's trial & error avoiding invasive software. Yesterday, had trouble finding some results for OR measures, & later received an update from Senator Boquist that Oregon counting would take up to 8 days beyond the election, as they would process ballots arriving after Nov 5 election. OR has been under mostly Dem control since 1987. Portland & Eugene dominate the political scene. The Capital city is still more conservative than the Dems downtown, but as more people move here for what used to be a lower cost of living, costs have risen with demand. We have state govt caused housing shortages which drives everything higher, & it's like an addiction for increasing govt revenue as it drives property taxes higher, & fewer people can afford a home or apt. But you know all about higher costs in the UK. God bless you, Peter Halligan. Noteworthy even in leftist dominated OR. of the 1.7 million votes tallied yesterday for Presidential candidates, approx 800,000 were for Trump! That's quite remarkable! Carry on.
so Kari Lake lost in House but became gov. of Arizona??
