THE FLIP
Past performances · the 2026 midterms · post time November 3, 8 PM Eastern
The form prints. The selections box picks. You argue. Every number below is a receipt; the raters everyone else follows are one demoted line per race; the call that leads each race is the paper’s own, graded November 3, and the full form folds open under it.
The House — 218 R, 212 D, 1 I caucusing with the Republicans, 4 seats vacant, hollow. 218 controls. The selections box lands the Democratic side at 227, the Republican at 208. §
And eight seats cross at the far ends of this axis without a real race — five drawn red, three drawn blue in the map rooms; they ride inside the chalk. §
a dot is a race, colored by who holds the seat today · it sits where the paper’s needle says the seat lands (gold: no call yet — the market’s spot) · a dot across the dashed seam is a seat changing hands

Selection rule, printed: every race rated anything but Safe/Solid by either Cook Political Report or Sabato’s Crystal Ball. Provenance tiers and the pending sweep list live on the desk; tote prices move daily and are dated where they stand. Both cards drawn: twelve Senate races, twenty-three House. The crossings chart and the called totals sum the calls plus the chalk — every off-card race taken at the raters’ own side of their board, counted on the desk. Where the sum of the race-by-race calls and the whole-track tote disagree — on the Senate side they do — the form prints both and splits nothing. The seat-by-seat chamber diagram returns the morning after post time, drawn from results, to grade every call on this page. Card drawn 24 August 2026.
