Today (Tuesday), midterm elections are being held in the United States, and voters will cast their ballots to determine all members of the House of Representatives and over 30 senators. The results of this voting will clarify whether the Democrats will continue to hold control of the Senate or if the balance of power in Congress will shift in favor of President Bush's Republican Party. Candidates across the United States are competing for 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 34 Senate seats, and 36 gubernatorial positions. Republicans hope to maintain or expand their slim majority in the House and gain a majority in the Senate. Democrats aim to end Republican leadership in the House and also seek to maintain their majority in the Senate to continue challenging the Bush administration and force it to compromise on key issues.
