RaceCookSinceInside ElectionsSinceAgreeLast move

Two raters, and they disagree. Cook is drawn as a movement history: the dated changes we could confirm against reporting. Inside Elections publishes only its current rating and the date it last moved, so its races appear on that date and then hold. A race that has not moved this year is drawn faded, because that stillness is itself information. Sabato's Crystal Ball is missing: the site refuses automated access and we hold only two confirmed movements.
