So, how did the midterms go? Join Votebeat a week after Election Day to get the full breakdown on what happened and what it all means. Hear from two of the country’s leading election attorneys about lawsuits already filed, and those they expect to be filed.
We’ll also examine how election administration held up across the country, separate fact from fiction about voters’ experiences and ballot counting, and explain what happens between Election Day and the certification of results.
Votebeat is a nonprofit newsroom specialized in explaining how elections work. Each of our reporters and editors spend every day covering voting rules, election administration, misinformation, election lawsuits, local officials, and the systems that determine how ballots are cast and counted.
Become a Votebeat member to join the conversation. Give any amount from $1 to $26 — we suggest $26 for 2026 — and help fund the independent, deeply reported journalism that explains how elections actually work and clarifies confusion about often technical and opaque election processes.
