WHO WILL CONTROL CONGRESS? (Shutterstock).

Which party will control Congress is still open to question two days after Election Day.

While Republicans lead in seats won in the House of  Representatives, it hasn’t yet locked up enough to be certain of a majority. In the Senate, it comes down to races in three states: Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.

All three are undecided; the Democrats need to win two seats to prevail; the Republicans need two as well. 

In Arizona, the Democratic incumbent has a strong lead; in Nevada the Republican challenger has a small edge – about 8,000 votes – with 10 percent of the ballots still to be counted.

In Georgia, incumbent Democrat Ralph Warnock outpolled Republican challenger Hershel Walker by 35,000 votes, but since neither candidate won a majority, there will be a runoff on Dec. 6.

Because many of the as-yet counted votes are mail-in ballots, it may take days or even weeks to decide the outcome.
