As a result of Democratic wins in state legislative races and gubernatorial races, the National Popular Vote Plan theoretically can gain enough states in 2027 to take effect. See this story.
The story does not assume New Hampshire will pass the Compact, because New Hampshire’s Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte was re-elected. However, Democrats won large majorities in both houses of the legislature. See this story.
Virginia voters passed Question Three with a 57% margin. It repeals the Virginia Constitutional provision that has banned persons convicted of a felony from ever registering to vote, unless the Governor restores their voting rights.
Alaska had three statewide offices up: Governor/Lt. Governor, U.S. Senator, and U.S. House. No one received as much as 50% in any of the three races. Therefore, the winners will be determined by the Ranked Choice Process, which cannot start until all the ballots have been counted and received. Here are the results so far.
The Working Class Party polled 1.97% for Governor of Maryland and will therefore be on the ballot in 2028. It needed 1%. However, in the Illinois 4th U.S. House district, it needed 5% to retain its status inside that district, but only polled 3.5%.
Two independents have been elected to the Utah House of Representatives. They are Patrick Belmont in the 3rd District, and Sergio Sotelo in the 38th district. Utah had not elected anyone to the legislature who was not a Democratic or a Republican nominee since 1956. As noted in another post here, the Forward Party may have won a seat in the State Senate.
