Only 97 Senate seats accounted for there. Three still undecided?

I'm not sure how many House seats there are. I'll let someone else deal with the math for that.

HOUSE 435 total seats--418 decided-- still 0 independents

"As Nancy Pelosi faces a grueling fight to regain the speaker’s gavel, pro-Pelosi activists are threatening to punish Democrats who do not get in line."
