US elections rely on ballot papers rather than electronic voting machines, prompting questions about how millions of votes are counted quickly. In the 2026 midterm elections, Democrats claimed victory with Donald Trump congratulating them and saying the Iran war played a role, while Hakeem Jeffries is in line to become the first Black speaker of the House. The contests also produced historic firsts, including the election of the first Black woman governor, the first Native American woman governor, Texas’s first Latina governor and Florida’s first Black governor, reflecting broader breakthroughs for Black, Indigenous, Latina and LGBTQ leaders.
