In the 2022 mid-terms, there are 35 U.S. Senate seats on the ballot.
The U.S. Senate has 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats (including two independents). Democrats control the chamber as the vice-president can break tie votes. There are 35 seats up in 2022 – including a special election in Oklahoma – of which 21 are held by the GOP. That party can retake control with a net gain of one or more seats.
In the House, all 435 districts are up for grabs.
The seats of all 435 representatives will be up for election. The seats of five of the six non-voting members of the U.S. House will be up for election as well.
The results of the 2022 U.S. House elections will determine whether Democrats maintain their majority or Republicans gain control of the chamber. Heading into the election, Democrats hold a 220-212 majority in the U.S. House with three vacancies. Republicans need to gain a net of five districts to win a majority in the chamber.
And don’t forget the Governors.
Of the 36 gubernatorial seats up for re-election in 2022, twenty are Republican, and sixteen are Democrat.
Republicans are defending six governorships in states President Joe Biden (D) won in 2020: Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Democrats are defending one governorship in a state that Donald Trump won (R) in 2020: Kansas.

My official entry is in the mail. It should show up on Friday.
Maybe we should add an extra element to this. What time will Felonia Von Pantsuit go on CNN and claim widespread fraud in the districts that flip GOP?

Short on-topic commentary: The Republicans are actually going to win more than this, but electoral fraud in states where Democrats control the process will reduce their numbers. We will see a pattern of Republican sweeps in states where the electoral process is fairly legit, but long drawn-out poll counts in Democrat states that eventually result in narrow Democrat victories. The most egregious will probably be in Pennsylvania.
