Both of Arkansas's U.S. Senate seats are currently Republican-held. The seat on the ballot in 2028 is Arkansas's Class III seat; the state's other seat (Class II, Republican) is not up this cycle. Every race in electionsmcp is built from the same atoms: 163,925 U.S. precincts with 2024 results, so Arkansas's map starts from how the state actually voted.
Model the Arkansas Senate race in five steps
- Set the candidates. Name the contenders for the Arkansas Senate race (or keep the generic Democrat / Republican defaults). The map starts from real 2024 results in every precinct.
- Apply a swing. Move vote share statewide, or by demographic cohort, with a slider. The map and the running tally recompute instantly.
- Model turnout. Mobilize or depress turnout for any group — turnout and persuasion are modeled separately, the way a real campaign thinks about them.
- Drill to precincts. Zoom from the state down to individual precincts and override any of them by hand.
- Roll up & share. Roll the result up to chamber control, then publish a shareable, frozen link to your scenario.

What you can change
Persuasion (vote share) and turnout (mobilization) are modeled separately — statewide, by demographic cohort, by county, or precinct by precinct. Then roll up the seat into the national picture: how this race moves the Senate's 51-seat majority threshold.
