The 2014 midterm elections were expected to be somewhere between a big snooze and a big cry fest — lots of incumbents running safe races for seats they've held for years, plus a GOP Senate takeover and an increased GOP majority in the House. All of which means probably not very good things for your reproductive rights. Oh, and Wendy Davis lost, just in case you hadn't had enough excellent news yet.
How do you face an election like this without falling asleep or drowning yourself in Two Buck Chuck? (Note: If you did a shot every time a California incumbent wins, you probably didn't make it through the night.)
In the run-up to the night, there were races to be excited (well, anxious) about — even if in the end, the outcome wasn't favorable to women or, ahem, Obama's legacy. Would Kay Hagan retain her North Carolina Senate seat? Would Mia Love of Utah become the first black Republican woman in the U.S. House of Representatives? Would the Senate go to the Republicans, and if so, would Mitch McConnell retain his seat and become the next Senate Majority leader? Would a Louisiana run-off keep us all from knowing who's in charge until January? What percentage of the next Congress will be white dudes, and what percentage everyone else?
Here are all of the results — gubernatorial, Senate, and House, state by state, from the races where only one person was running to the contests that promised to determine our political future for at least the next two years.
