The Live Blog Is Back. We’re Trying To Get Answers On Outstanding Races.

The top-line narratives haven’t changed much since last night: Democrats have a House majority and Republicans will keep the Senate (with a net gain of two seats under their belt at the moment and the possibility for more).

First, updates on the races that are still too close to call:

• As Geoffrey Skelley wrote this morning, no winner has been projected in the Senate races in Arizona, Florida and Montana, but the Republican candidate is holding a razor-thin lead in all three races. (There have been mixed media reports regarding whether Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson has conceded in Florida, but ABC News has not yet projected a winner and the race may still go to a recount.)
• One bright spot for Democrats in the Senate? In Nevada, Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen defeated GOP incumbent Dean Heller by 4 points.
• As for the House, Democrats have won 223 seats and Republicans have won 201 so far, according to ABC News. Several of the races where no winner has yet been projected are in Washington and California, and it might be a while before we have final tallies there, as so many votes are cast by mail. The Maine 2nd may be decided by special rules due to its ranked-voting system. Nathaniel Rakich has more on major upsets of the evening, plus what happened in Romney-Clinton districts (good news for Democrats) and in Obama-Trump districts (more of a mixed bag).
• In governors races, Democrats picked up seven seats from Republicans last night in Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico and Wisconsin. The Connecticut governor race is still too close to call, but it looks as if Democrats will maintain control as Democrat Ned Lamont leads the race by roughly 1 percentage point and Republican Bob Stefanowski conceded this morning. Alaska and Georgia’s gubernatorial races also remain too close to call. But it looks as if the majority of Americans will now have a Democratic governor, despite a stinging loss for Democrats in Florida and what looks to be a loss in Georgia as well. Perry Bacon has more on what this means.
