 Not done, please provide a reliable independent source proving this change. MosquitoDestroyer (talk | mosquitoes destroyed) 21:42, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Is voteref.com reliable? SMohammed09241 (talk) 21:49, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Hmm, well for some reason I am blocked even though I've never visited that site once. Can you provide a different reference? MosquitoDestroyer (talk | mosquitoes destroyed) 22:02, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Two senators, Chris Murphy and Kyrsten Gillibrand, were elected as Democratic and Working Families Party members. They both ran on both party lines on the ballot via fusion voting. See and . There are no other senators currently who have run on two parties. This makes them different, similar to the two independents.

I think it should be reflected in the image and the caption. The caption could include this:   Democratic and Working Families Party (2). Of course, then the generic Democratic color would show 43, but this is not any different from the way the page treats independents who caucus with the Democratic Party.

While there is a section for alternative voting (where RCV is), they still had to win via plurality voting, so it really isn't a divergence from that.

While the House does not reflect this yet, I think the change would be good to add there too with a little note like we do for independents. Catboy69 (talk) 17:27, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Are you aware of any reliable sources that treat them as such? I haven't seen any? https://www.senate.gov/senators/SenatorsRepresentingThirdorMinorParties.htm does not list them as independent or third party, for example. meamemg (talk) 19:04, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Jungle primary is no longer used for U.S. Senate elections in Louisiana. There is a closed partisan primary with a runoff, as described on 2026 United States Senate election in Louisiana, and the election in November is now referred to as a "general election" with no indication that a runoff in December is possible, so the following changes are requested:
