Election Resources on the Internet: Federal Elections in the U.S.A., Part I

The United States of America held congressional elections on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, to fill all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of 100 seats in the Senate. The mid-term election will be the first nationwide vote since 2016, when Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party candidate, prevailed in the Electoral College (but not in the popular vote) over his Democratic Party challenger, former First Lady, U.S. Senator from New York and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
