IndianaELECTION RESULTS

What to watch

Rep. Frank J. Mrvan (D) is projected to win the District 1 race.

U.S. Senate

First-term Sen. Todd C. Young is up for reelection and is a rare Republican Senate incumbent without Trump’s endorsement. Since gaining attention for defeating then-Sen. Evan Bayh (D), a member of a Hoosier political dynasty, in a 2016 upset, Young has solidified his position despite calling to certify President Biden’s 2020 victory and meeting with Biden on coronavirus legislation. He faces Thomas McDermott (D), the mayor of Hammond.

Young (R) is projected to win. An estimated 99.8 percent of votes have been counted.

U.S. House

All eyes will be on Indiana’s 1st District, which will be one of the first competitive House seats to see the polls close on election night. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan is one of many endangered House Democrats on the ballot in 2022 and is fighting to stay in office against Jennifer-Ruth Green, a Black conservative and U.S. Air Force reservist who was deployed to Iraq as a mission commander for counterintelligence activities.

Key House races

  • Ind.District 1

    Mrvan may be the first sign of whether Republicans can retake the House majority, as Indiana is one of the first states to close its polls in the country. In the state’s northwest, the district went for Biden by eight points in 2020.

* Incumbent

The Post estimated the lean of 2022 congressional districts using 2020 presidential results by precinct from Decision Desk HQ and estimates where actual votes at the precinct level were unavailable. Districts classified as “Strong Biden” and “Strong Trump” show where a candidate is estimated to have won by 15 percentage points or more. “Lean Biden” and “Lean Trump” districts had estimated vote margins between five and 15 points. “Close” districts show an estimated margin within five points.

How The Washington Post reports election race calls

The Washington Post doesn’t call races on its own. It relies heavily on two nonpartisan organizations with long track records of examining raw vote totals and calling elections: the Associated Press and Edison Research.
