Questions and answers

How many seats does a majority take?

51 of 100 in the Senate (50 if the vice president is from your party, since the VP breaks ties) and 218 of 435 in the House.

Where do the seats already decided come from?

The count: races with a declared winner, plus, in the Senate, the seats that weren't up this year.

How do independents count?

Separately. Independents usually side with a party to organize the chamber; add them yourself if you want to see that scenario.
