4 races remain undecided

It’s been about two weeks since Election Day, and while the matchups that captured national intrigue are officially over, a handful of outstanding races remain to be called.

First, a quick primer on what has been resolved:

Democrats in the most high-profile, too-closeto-call races effectively all admitted defeat over the weekend. In Georgia, Democrat Stacey Abrams did not officially concede but acknowledged that her GOP opponent, Brian Kemp, would win the gubernatorial election, though she refused to say his win was legitimate after widespread accusations of voter suppression. In Florida, Andrew Gillum, who conceded on election night and then retracted it when the closeness of the gubernatorial race triggered a machine recount, didn’t get near close enough to overcoming Republican Ron DeSantis’s lead. And the Senate contest in Florida narrowed only slightly after a manual recount, causing Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson to admit defeat to GOP Gov. Rick Scott.

The tight U.S. House races that were called in the days after Nov. 6 were all breaking for Democrats until Monday, when Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones conceded to GOP Rep. Will Hurd in the 23rd District of Texas, a race that was decided by just under 700 votes. Until this week, Jones was so committed to contesting the results that she even attended last week’s orientation for new members in Washington.

There remain four races where there is not yet an official winner. In each of them, the Republican incumbent is defending the seat.
