Results of statewide ballot measures + Georgia’s role in determining control of the Senate ![]() Welcome to the Daily BrewFriday, November 13, 2020We hope you don’t have triskaidekaphobia. Here’s what’s in store for you as you start your day:
Here’s the latest ballot measure resultsVoters decided 120 statewide ballot measures in 32 states on Nov. 3. We've provided updates on results for some of those measures last week in the Brew here and here. Here’s a look at the latest statistics and the results of some recently-decided measures. As of Nov. 11, Ballotpedia had called the outcome of 111 statewide ballot measures, of which 83 (75%) were approved, and 28 were defeated. That leaves nine ballot measures uncalled. Here are six highlighted measures that were called since our last update:
Georgia to determine partisan control of U.S. SenateTwo seats remain uncalled in the U.S. Senate, and the results of those races will determine partisan control of the chamber. Thus far, Democrats have a net gain of one seat—they won two seats in Colorado and Arizona, while Republicans won Alabama's seat. Based on the results so far, Republicans control 50 seats and Democrats 46. There are two independents who caucus with the Democrats. The two Senate races that remain uncalled are the regular and special Senate elections in Georgia. Georgia is one of two states—along with Louisiana—that require runoff elections if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the general election. Here are the runoff matchups:
Democrats would need to win both runoff elections to reach a 50-50 split with the GOP. Since the vice president casts tie-breaking votes in the Senate, such a split would effectively give Democrats the majority in 2021. If Republicans win one of the runoffs, they will maintain their current majority. Here are some updates on the runoffs from the past week:
Coming Monday: The Transition TrackerBallotpedia’s Presidential Daily Briefing newsletter came to an end this week, and our team no longer had any idea what to do with their mornings. They paced in their homes. They stared at their coffee pots. One thought about jumping on the sourdough baking train. When one West Wing door closes, another opens, or something like that. Enter: The Transition Tracker. We did this in 2016 with our newsletter, You’re Hired. You can travel back in time to see those editions here. Want to make sure this newsletter ends up in your inbox?
