As polls close across the country this Election Day and states begin counting ballots, how will you know who's winning the presidential election and how people voted?

It will take 218 seats to rule the House, and although neither party had yet to reach the threshold, the numbers appeared to favor the GOP.

Republicans won the Senate. But there’s one more big political prize to be awarded after Tuesday’s election: the House of Representatives, which could still break either way depending on what happens in the roughly 28 races that remain too close to call as of Thursday afternoon.

Democrats have toppled two Republican incumbents in the Georgia state House, but won’t narrow the Republican majority as much as they once hoped

Donald Trump's Republicans were projected to pick up another U.S. Senate seat on Thursday and appeared to be retaining their narrow hold on the House of Representatives, putting them on track to control both chambers of Congress next year.

The party that will control the US House of Representatives for the next two years is still in the balance. Republicans were seven seats short of the 218 seats needed to take control on Thursday morning.
