Summary

Today's headlines: Congress is still undecided as of now, with 221 seats for Republicans, and 214 for Democrats with control leaning likely towards republicans, but not all races have been called. Right now the Senate is tied 48-48, with races in Arizona and Nevada still not fully counted. In Arizona, we likely won’t know the results of the governor and Senate races until tomorrow at the earliest. So far, only 80 of the 300 election deniers nationwide were elected into office. Finally, Tina Kotek has been elected governor of Oregon, making her the second out lesbian elected to lead any state, and Louisville judge Mary Shaw has lost her race in Missouri.
