Senate control could hang in limbo for weeks after Election Day

Senate control may remain undecided for weeks after Election Day due to tight races and state voting rules. Alaska's mail ballots and ranked-choice tabulation, Maine's ranked-choice voting, and Kansas' three-day mail-in grace period could delay results. A 50/50 split would force leaders to negotiate a power-sharing agreement, with the Trump Justice Department preemptively trying to block Alaska results if Sullivan narrowly loses.
