Summary

Two Senate races and more than two dozen House races have not yet been projected, with outstanding ballots and recount or ranked-choice procedures affecting some results.Key Facts

- In Mississippi, thousands of mail ballots and an unknown number of affidavit ballots remain outstanding in the race between Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democrat Scott Colom.
- Maine's 2nd District race between Republican Paul LePage and Democrat Matt Dunlap will proceed to ranked-choice tabulation on Nov. 9, even though Dunlap conceded.
- Florida's 9th District is the only one of four districts redrawn by Florida Republicans that has not yet been projected as a Democratic win.
- Louisiana's 6th District may go to a runoff because no candidate is close to a majority under the state's jungle primary system.
