The first full tallies are displayed in the projection banner near the top of the page.  As you can see, I am currently predicting a bit of a red surge, but certainly not a tidal wave.  Just eight net House seats are projected to swing to the GOP, far less than the 40 needed to regain control.  In the Senate, Election Projection shows a small GOP gain of 2 seats.  As for the statehouse races, the GOP is projected to pickup one additional net seat gain on the heels of winning Virginia and New Jersey in 2009.  If that projection comes true, Republicans and Democrats will hold 25 governorships apiece.

This year, Election Projection is also providing a helpful 2010 Election Resources section with ranked lists of vulnerable seats, a 2010 election year calendar with all filing deadlines, primary dates, and runoffs, up-to-date lists of all open seats and, beginning after the state previews are done, daily poll reports.  You'll find links to these and other features on the right side of the projection banner above.

I look forward to sharing with you a very exciting year ahead. After tracking two blue wave elections over the last four years, maybe this time EP's maps will be colored a bit more red.  As we get this thing started, let me also offer everyone best wishes for a prosperous and blessed New Year.
