Call every race yourself. Watch the majority move. Build the 2026 map you actually believe in. VoteMapper is a hands-on election simulator for all your devices. Start from the consensus forecast, change your mind about the races you think the models have wrong, and see exactly what has to happen for either party to take Congress. THE 2026 MIDTERMS • All 100 Senate races, with current candidates and a chamber count that updates with every call you make. • All 435 House districts. Tap a state on the House map and it opens to that state's real congressional districts, drawn from official 2026 boundaries, including the states that redrew their maps this year. • Start from the consensus forecast, or from a blank map, and build the outcome from scratch. THE ROAD TO 270 • The Electoral College map that started it all. Assign states, split Maine and Nebraska by district, and watch the electoral vote total move. • Replay every presidential election since 1788. All 60 maps carry the real electoral roster and nominees, reconciled against the National Archives. Load any of them, rewrite the result, reset to history in one tap, and compare one election against another to see how the map and the math have shifted over more than two centuries. SEAL A FORECAST BEFORE ELECTION NIGHT • Lock in your predictions and get a shareable certificate with a public verification link. • Your calls are scored against real results as races are called, so there is a record of who saw it coming. SAVE, COMPARE, SYNC • Name a scenario and come back to it. Saved maps remember their year and their third-party candidates. • iCloud sync keeps your maps in step across all your devices. • Maps and historical data work offline. A connection is only needed to pull updated race data and published results. BUILT TO BE READ • A scoreboard with a balance bar that shows the majority at a glance, rating badges and race rows you can scan in a second, and a legend on every map. • VoiceOver reads every state's rating and the call you have made on it, on every map. FREE, AND PRO The 2026 midterms, the Electoral College map, forecasts and certificates, the three most recent presidential elections and five saved scenarios are free, with no ads. VoteMapper Pro adds every election back to 1788, unlimited saved scenarios and iCloud sync: $3.99 a month, $29.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or $49.99 once for life. Family Sharing included. WHO IT IS FOR People who follow elections closely enough to disagree with the forecasts. Students and teachers working through how 435 districts and 100 Senate seats add up to control of Congress. Anyone who would rather do the math than be handed the answer. VoteMapper ships with a consensus forecast as a starting point and then gets out of the way. Every call is yours, and you can throw the starting point out entirely. It is a tool for thinking with, not a news feed. Race and candidate data is updated through the primary season and into the general election, including primary results as they are certified.
