How Election Week 2022 Went Down

Along with the extended polling hours in Texas and Pennsylvania, the RNC is joining with the Masters and Lake campaigns and some other conservative groups to file an emergency motion to extend poll hours in Maricopa County after tabulator issues slowed things down a bit. It remains to be seen whether that motion will be granted.

First projections are in from states with 7 p.m. poll closings. With Senate races in South Carolina and Indiana now projected for Republicans, the current balance of power sits at 36 Democratic seats and 31 Republican seats. We’ll be updating the totals in this chart throughout the night.

With nearly three-quarters of the vote counted — we’re blazing here — in Florida’s 13th District Democratic nominee Eric Lynn and GOP nominee Anna Paulina Luna are all tied up at about 50 percent. This is the rare competitive House race in the Sunshine State, and Lynn has the support of a super PAC seeded by $10 million from a single donor. Outgoing Rep. Charlie Crist, a Democrat, is trailing DeSantis 52 percent to 47 percent.
