NPR reported that several House and Senate races remain uncalled. In a report by Stephen Fowler, NPR asks when the outcomes of those races might be known, and the report's summary frames the matter as one of timing.

CBS News reported that most midterm elections have been decided, while Senate races in Alaska and Mississippi remain "too close to call." In a video report, Ed O'Keefe of CBS News explains why those two contests remain unresolved.

The two accounts differ in scope. NPR's summary refers to several House and Senate races, while CBS News's summary names only the Senate contests in Alaska and Mississippi and does not say whether any House races remain uncalled. Neither summary states the total number of uncalled races.

Neither summary identifies the other races still pending, the vote totals in the uncalled contests, or when results are expected. NPR's summary poses the question of when the outcomes might be known but does not answer it, and CBS News's summary does not give a timeline for the Alaska and Mississippi races.

Taken together, NPR and CBS News describe a midterm count in which most contests have been decided and a smaller group remains open. The sources do not agree on the full list of open races, and the summaries reviewed for this story are brief. Readers seeking more detail can consult the full reports linked in this article.
