By now you are likely aware that Election Night was hardly the jubilant GOP celebration that many were predicting. As of Wednesday afternoon, control of both the House and Senate still hangs in the balance.

Control of the Senate will come down to three key races that are still too early to call — Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona. Democrats appear to have taken three other key Senate races, in Colorado, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. (Alaska also remains too close to call, but the race pits two Republicans against each other: challenger Kelly Tshibaka and incumbent Lisa Murkowski.)
