Published: November 06, 2006 1:55 PM ET updated 11:00 PM ET NEW YORK As the country heads to the polls in the still uncertain midterm elections, the nation's top newspapers had one clear message: the GOP, some claimed, seems to be gaining back votes, but it's unclear whether this last minute push will be enough to stop a Democratic takeover, at least in the House.
A USA Today/Gallup poll predicts that the Democrats have five of the six seats it needs to gain control in the Senate, but GOP gains in Tennessee and Virginia may have pulled those seats out of the Democratic column. Except that some polls show Jim Webb, the Democrat, winning in Virginia. But, in general, polls were all over the place. |

07 November 2006 Voting is continuing in the mid-term elections in the United States.
Polling stations in eastern US states opened at 6am (11am Irish time) and are due to close at 6pm local time, but it could be hours before results in the tightest contests are known. Voting will end in the last stations to close, those in Alaska, at 5am Irish time tomorrow. There have already been problems with electronic voting machines in a number of states, including Ohio, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Florida. In one polling station in East Cleveland, Ohio, all 12 machines went down when voting opened. The machines were not started up until two hours later and officials refused to hand out paper ballots until a lawyer for the watchdog group Election Protection showed up. Problems were also reported at other polling places in the state, which was involved in controversy over the results of the 2004 elections. |
