03 / QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Beyond the headline.
01 / THE HOUSE
Where could a majority come from?
Many regional paths can add up to a national result. Expected seats are not individual winner calls.
02 / THE SENATEWhy does the path to 51 matter?
Holdovers, open-seat defenses, and a small number of pickups shape the chamber-control story.
03 / THE UNCERTAINTYWhat can a forecast actually tell us?
A probability describes a range of possible outcomes. It is never a promise about the result.
THE BELLELYTICS STANDARD
Evidence first.
Perspective always.
Good analysis does more than produce a number. It shows where that number came from, what it means, and what it cannot tell you.
