Live updates: America votes in the 2014 midterm elections

http://ift.tt/1ofvNMz // Obama-votes

Election Day is upon us.


Millions of Americans head to the polls on Tuesday to elect their representatives in Congress. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs, as are 36 seats in the Senate. A total of 36 governorships are up, too. The big question: Will the Republicans take control of the Senate? Will Democrats gain ground in the governors' mansions?


3 things you need to know:





  • Election Day in the U.S. is Tuesday, Nov. 4. While President Obama has another two years, Americans will be electing their representatives at the state level.




  • Republicans need to pick up six seats to take control of the U.S. Senate, and are widely expected to do so. They'll assuredly retain control of the House.




  • The first polls — in Indiana and Kentucky — will close at 6 p.m. ET. Results will begin trickling in shortly thereafter. See a map of state closing times here. Read more...
