Midterm election results live updates: Senate control could come down to Nevada
Democrats are one seat away from majority control of the Senate.
The 2022 midterm elections are shaping up to be some of the most consequential in the nation's history, with control of Congress at stake.
All 435 seats in the House and 35 of 100 seats in the Senate are on the ballot, as well as several influential gubernatorial elections in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Democrats are defending their narrow majorities in both chambers. Republican control of either the House or Senate would be enough to curtail most of President Joe Biden's legislative agenda and would likely result in investigations against his administration and even his family.
Key updates:
Nevada’s Clark County to report remaining ballots out today
Clark County will count and release the results of all remaining ballots today, Clark County Register of Voters Joe Gloria told reporters.
Not included in the vote tabulation will be 7,139 mail-in ballots that have been rejected but may still be cured by voters, or provisional ballots.
The spotlight is on Nevada as the Senate race between Democratic incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican Adam Laxalt may determine which party has majority control next year. If Cortez Masto wins reelection, Democrats will retain power in the chamber. If Laxalt wins, the fate of the Senate will be determined in Georgia’s runoff election next month.

Laxalt addresses current vote counting in Nevada
Republican Adam Laxalt took to Twitter on Saturday to address the current razor-thin Senate battle between him and Democrat incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto. The Senate race could determine if Democrats retain control. If Laxalt wins, the battle for the chamber will extend into December's runoff race in Georgia.
"Here is where we are -- we are up only 862 votes. Multiple days in a row, the mostly mail in ballots counted continue to break in higher DEM margins than we calculated. This has narrowed our victory window. The race will come down to 20-30K Election Day Clark drop off ballots," Laxalt wrote.
"If they are GOP precincts or slightly DEM leaning then we can still win. If they continue to trend heavy DEM then she will overtake us. Thanks for all the prayers from millions of Nevadans and Americans who hope we can still take back the Senate and start taking our country back."
Mark Kelly delivers victory speech: ‘We’ve been successful in this mission’
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said Saturday he’s “honored” to have been reelected to serve six more years.
“It's fantastic to be here today. And after more votes have been counted, you know, it's clear that we've been successful in this mission,” Kelly said as he delivered victory remarks in front of supporters and press outside a coffee shop in central Phoenix and with his wife, Gabby Giffords.
After thanking his staff and supporters, Kelly also thanked Arizona's election workers, just hours ahead of a protest planned outside the main tabulation center in Maricopa County.
Kelly’s Republican opponent, Blake Masters, meanwhile, has not conceded -- but said Saturday that he will concede if Kelly is ahead when all the votes are counted. The deadline to cure signatures in Arizona is Wednesday.

Where the battle for House control stands
As of early Saturday morning, Republicans have won 211 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives while Democrats have won 205.
Republicans flipped a total of 16 House seats so far, according to ABC News projections, while Democrats flipped five House seats.
Nineteen House races remain outstanding. Of those, Republicans lead in 10 of them and Democrats are ahead in nine of them. Republicans only need to win seven outstanding seats to get control of the House.
