Which Senate and governors races are still uncalled after midterms?

As of Wednesday afternoon, control of dozens of congressional and gubernatorial races remains uncalled, even as Democrats have secured control of both chambers of Congress by flipping key seats.

In the U.S. House of Representatives, 68 races with party control at stake remain uncalled under Associated Press standards, which require a trailing candidate to have no mathematical path to victory before a winner is declared.

Key U.S. Senate contests remain tight, including in Mississippi where Democrat Scott Colom leads Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by a few dozen votes, and in Alaska where Democrat Mary Peltola leads incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan in a potential ranked-choice scenario.

Alaska's gubernatorial race is similarly undecided, with Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins holding a 20-percentage-point lead over Republican Bernadette Wilson, but potentially facing ranked-choice voting if he fails to surpass 50 percent of the vote.

In the Kansas governor's race, Democrat Cindy Holscher maintains a narrow lead of 5,557 votes over Republican state Senate President Ty Masterson with an estimated 98 percent of votes counted.
