Over the last few days most of the remaining undecided seats have been decided. In CA-04 the Republican has held on, while the Democrat was elected in OH-15. In the Louisiana delayed elections last week, it appears that the Democrats could be on track to losing two seats. Corrupt congressman William Jefferson has been defeated by Joseph Cao, who will become the first Vietnamese-American member of Congress. In Louisiana’s 4th Congressional District, it is currently a dead heat and will be the last one to be decided. The seats currently stand at 257-177, with 1 outstanding.
In the Senate, Senator Saxby Chambliss was safely re-elected in the runoff election in Georgia. After a recount, the race in Minnesota remains extremely close, and will be decided by the resolution of the specific challenges made by either campaign. As it stands, the Senate is made up of 56 Democrats, 41 Republicans, 2 Independents and 1 Undecided.
I’ve updated the US congressional results maps on the “maps” page.
Those Senate numbers should be 56-41-2-1, otherwise they add to 101.
Oops, thanks Charles, I’ll fix it.
