The U.S. midterm elections still weren’t over as of this morning.
Voting took place on the 3rd (Eastern Time), and today is the 4th. Most of the East and Midwest have finished voting, while the West is still wrapping up, and the votes haven’t all been counted.
A few results are in: Democrats held onto a seat in Georgia, and took one from Republicans in North Carolina. This is just the beginning.
Everyone’s watching to see who controls Congress. Republicans had only a slim lead of a few seats in the House, so Democrats could flip it by picking up three or four more—something they’re widely expected to do. In the Senate, it’s 53 to 47, and Democrats need a net gain of four seats, but counting is still underway in several key states.
The delay is because mail-in ballots have to be checked one by one for signature matches. In some states, ballots still count if they arrive up to seven days after Election Day. Last time, the House race took eight days to call.
So, for now, any “who won” headlines you’re seeing are just media projections. Don’t believe them too quickly. #美国中期选举：市场会往哪走？
