U.S. Senate
Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate race is one of the most closely watched elections in the nation, as it could determine which party controls the 50:50 chamber. In Pennsylvania, Republicans are hoping to hold onto the seat, being vacated by retiring Republican Pat Toomey, while Democrats aim to elect a second Democrat to represent the state along with Sen. Bob Casey.

Governor
State Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the only Democrat running for governor, often pitches his campaign as a bulwark against complete Republican control of the state government. Democrats have held the Governor's Office in 16 of the last 20 years, while Republicans have controlled the state Senate for more than two decades and only lost control of the state House from 2007 to 2010. Republican control of both the executive and legislative branches would likely lead that party to long-stymied goals to restrict abortion, expand gun ownership rights, and use tax dollars to fund private schools.

Lieutenant Governor
Candidates for lieutenant governor run in Democratic and Republican primary elections. The nominees for both parties then join a ticket with the candidates who won the primary elections for governor. The lieutenant governor presides over the state Senate and serves as chair of the state Board of Pardons.

U.S. House
Republicans need to gain just five seats to take control of the U.S. House and change the power dynamics in Washington, and Pennsylvania and New Jersey will host several critical races that could decide the outcome. Around a half-dozen districts in Pennsylvania are potentially competitive — though most eyes are on vulnerable Democrats, given the political winds — and several more in New Jersey could also be in play.
About the data
Results come directly from the Associated Press.
The AP’s expected vote counts are estimates that may change throughout the night. That means that they become more accurate as votes are counted, giving a clearer and clearer picture of how much of the vote is left to be counted.
It also means the numbers can shift slightly, including going up or down as the expected vote count is adjusted. That doesn’t mean something nefarious is going on — it just means the AP is updating its estimate to reflect new information.
