With the presidential race still in the courts, the November 3rd unofficial results yield the mirror image of the 2016 contest. In the previous election, President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton with a 306-232 electoral vote margin. In the current election, the margin between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden is exactly the same, but this time the close result yields a Democratic victory.

The 2020 Election is not quite over, but final, much anticipated results for outstanding races are slowly being called.

The 2020 election isn’t officially even in the books yet, but we do have enough info to surmise who might be some of the most competitive early targets in the 2022 elections.

Listed below are political snippets on the presidential and congressional races as well as state turnout figures from across the country. Enjoy!

In a year like 2020, it is fitting that the presidential election and a number of down-ballot races have gone into political overtime. According to preliminary estimates, 160 million Americans participated in the 2020 general election shattering the previous record of 138 million in 2016. It remains uncertain if the country will eclipse the modern-era record for turnout as a share of the voting-eligible population last set at 63.8 percent in 1960.

The Target Smart statistical website has tracked the national early voting process throughout the country and reports segmentation by state. Nationally, through yesterday’s report, they log over 55.58 million people already voting, an increase of 108% from the same period when compared to the last presidential election in 2016. If national voter turnout projections of more than 150 million people prove correct, then approximately 37% of 2020 voters have already cast their ballots.

Examining the burgeoning early voting numbers and looking at which party has gained an advantage in voter registration in key battleground states, we see that patterns are beginning to form.

There has been prevalent speculation that we may not see a winner in the presidential election and certainly in some Senate and House races come the evening of November 3rd, but research into the processing and counting systems of each state suggests such a conclusion may actually prove unlikely.  

Virtually all election analysts are predicting that the Democrats will maintain their majority in next week’s national election with the principal unanswered question prompting speculation about whether they will add members to their party conference.
