Screenshot of Live Election Results

This is an interactive U.S. election simulator built around a county-by-county map of the 2026 midterms. Users can select counties, adjust candidate margins, turnout, and reporting percentages, then play a live-counting simulation designed to resemble AP-style election-night updates. The map can shade counties by their current leader or show shifts from 2024; hover panels add past results and demographic details. Users can also edit multiple counties at once, apply preset scenarios such as partisan waves or a toss-up, and export a shareable map image. The site includes a tutorial and options to explore individual state ballots, national races, primaries, and other election simulations.

The state listings lay out a broad, highly specific modeled ballot: Senate, governor, House, and other contests, along with candidates, open seats, primaries, and relevant political context. Examples include Alabama’s simultaneous open Senate and governor races, Alaska’s Senate matchup between Lisa Murkowski? No - Sullivan and Peltola, and the open Senate contests in states such as Illinois, Minnesota, and Ohio. The descriptions also flag unusual developments, including Louisiana’s runoff system, Nebraska’s independent candidate, and a South Carolina special election following Lindsey Graham’s death. The emphasis is on exploring how local results combine into statewide outcomes, rather than presenting verified election-night returns; the displayed 2026 results are intended to be simulated and adjustable.
