CMV: The 2026 US midterm elections should be considered a major tripwire indicating the true end of free and fair elections.
What do you think the chances are that it will actually be a free and fair election? You seem like the perfect type to ask, because I am a doomer these days and I dont think it will happen. But I also worry then I’m just a conspiracy theorist who thinks it’s cheating if my side loses….then I’ve become what I dont like More on reddit.com

During the next midterm elections (2026), are there enough Senate seats up for election that can turn Democrat such that Trump can be convicted after impeachment?
No. Indeed, the odds that democrats will even flip the senate are low. Remove the racism and no one would bother to vote republican. But of course the racism hasn't been removed.. More on reddit.com

Republicans have a 75% chance of winning the Senate in 2026.
The one thing I can say for certain about polls and betting markets is that nobody knows what’s going to happen, even those who are paid to do it for a living. I’m also realizing this is talking about the Senate, not the House, which is the more contentious chamber. Senate was never expected to flip, but the House is down to just over a coin flip at this point. In that case, who knows this far out what’s gonna happen. More on reddit.com

The House: Democrats Favored on What Starts as a Small Battlefield - Sabato's Crystal Ball
April 9, 2025 - We suspect these are closer to being in the Likely column than the Toss-up column, but they’re the kinds of seats that Republicans may be able to win at some point in the near future, maybe even 2026 under the right set of circumstances. Our bottom line assessment of the battle for Congress is that Democrats should win the House, and Republicans should win the Senate (as we explained in our initial ratings back in February).
