Judy: For more analysis of what
the results so far look like in
several key races, let's go over
to Lisa, who's joined by amna
nawaz.
Lisa: That's right.
The dust is still settling in
these elections.
A number of races yet to be
called.
When you look at the balance of
power in the house, where do we
stand?
Lisa: This is the ballgame.
The associated press has 207
races that have been called.
183 for Democrats.
They are sure the Republicans of
the 218 they need for control.
I have been counting carefully
what has happened overnight.
.
I show the Republicans have a
net of plus six seats.
That is enough if it holds.
Who knows if it holds.
There are the seats remaining.
Let's look at what is going on
across the country.
Where did Republicans do well?
New York state, interestingly
enough.
They had a number of pickups.
You see all of these dark gray
seats, these are the many seats
we have outstanding.
How many are there?
I'm glad I asked myself because
I'm going to answer myself.
Look at how many states are
remaining, 30 races unresolved
at this hour.
Seven of those races are within
a single point.
Some of those good -- could go
to an automatic recount.
Republicans, when you look at
these races, have more pickup
chances than Democrats.
Amna: We have talked about how
careful the associated press is
being and amazing those race
calls.
They will wait until there is no
mathematical way to make it up.
Lisa: These are races we have
been talking about with our
viewers.
Let's see where we are.
This is where our producer and I
traveled last week.
Democrats, the incumbent, she is
leading by just over 1500 votes.
Over the Republican in this
race.
This is one area, a seat and a
lot of Democrats thought they
would not be able to hold.
That is the story of the night.
Democrats holding against this
potential wave.
Look at what is going on in
Connecticut.
Another vulnerable Democrat.
Jahana Hayes, the former
national teacher of the year,
look at that margin.
50-50.
Within just about 2000 votes.
95% of the expected vote.
This is a race I'm watching for
a potential recount in
Waterbury, Dan Barry where the
des jardins family is known
well.
We also want to go to another
one.
Arizona, this is a different
picture.
The Democrat is the incumbent.
He is down significantly, eight
points.
86% of the expected vote.
The first time Canada here,
Republican, someone who has been
openly pro-trump, America first.
Someone who has run on election
integrity.
He has not crossed the line to
saying 2020 was stolen but he
has raised those doubts.
He is a former -- I'm saying
this because I think we will
hear a lot about this man if he
gets into congress.
.
Someone who was a Navy seal, and
I think he is going to have a
big persona in congress if he is
elected.
Lisa: We are waiting for a call.
86% of the elected votes.
Many of these races we knew
there was -- we knew these would
be competitive.
One in Colorado.
Lisa: I expect some of our
viewers get to this race.
Laura boebert, a big persona.
She had -- she is down in her
race.
This is a surprise for Democrats
and Republicans and
representative boebert.
She is being outmatched by Adam
Frech, a former councilman for
aspen city council.
He is someone who ran, one of
his campaigns told NPR on the
policy of putting together a
coalition of normal.
Laura boebert is someone who has
run to make a lot point.
Voters in this district want the
coalition of normal by just a
little bit.
96% of the vote in.
We will be watching this.
Amna: Not get closer.
We have talked about how
election to nihilism has been on
the ballot.
This is the first big test for
that.
Lisa: I think the primary that
we are watching is the Arizona
governors race.
And our Stephanie sy will be
talking about that.
Right now, another 50-50, we are
not making this up.
Katie Hobbs, the Democrat,
secretary of state is winning by
4000 votes over Kari lake,
former TV news anchor.
67% of the expected vote here.
This race could go back and
forth.
We are going to watch it
carefully.
Kari lake is someone who has run
on a platform of saying the 2020
election was stolen, into change
how she believes those are
handled.
And how elections are handled.
Let's look at other deniers as
we call them of the 2020
election, who have no found
evidence for that.
These in this column are those
we have categorized.
.
Look at what has happened
overnight.
Almost all of them have lost
their races.
Some of them have been in highly
competitive races including was
-- including Michigan and
Wisconsin.
The only one to win, Kay Ivey in
Alabama.
That is one of the stories of
tonight.
Let's talk about secretaries of
state.
I should say last night, it
feels like the same night.
Secretaries of state, an
important race.
Jim Marchand, he is the
secondary -- the secretary of
state Republican in Nevada.
He has put together a coalition
of like-minded election denier
candidates, who say they are
fighting for America, but in
Nevada, he is manning.
His opponent says now, he is
harming -- no, he is harming
democracy.
He is ahead with 77% of the
vote.
Amna: We will keep watching
those and all of the other races
that we know are too close to
call.
Back to you.
