Take control. Several Senate Democrats campaigned for reelection in states that voted for President Trump in 2016. One analyst says today, more than 38 million americans voted early. Election Officials Say that is nearly twice as many as voted before election day in the past midterms. There are reports of long lines and scattered glitchs at some polling places. Some candidates had to wait their turn. Here is democratic senator Claire Mccaskill of missouri, stand nothing line with other voters. We have coverage of the tightest senate races beginning in florida. Republicans are looking to unseat a democrat. Peter doocy is live in naples. Shep, election day started with Democrats Holding a very, very small lead after all the early ballots were counted, 24,000 early votes ahead of republicans. Now the g. O. P. Is trying to surge back with rick scott reminding voters that President Trump is talking about how rick scott talks to the president all the time, but the president says the democratic incumbent bill nelson doesnt. Senator nelson said trump should be abolished and criticized me for talking to the president. Im sitting governor, two hurricanes while President Trump has been president , shouldnt i say, i hope you bring federal resourc resources. I did and he did. He called me pretty much everyday. Nelson campaign focusos protecting obamacare and the environment, his election tradition Wave Campaign sign at people driving by, which he did. A simple way to wrap up a race that will be the most expensive in state history and he likes his odds on ticket he shares with democratic gubernatorial candidate andrew gillum. I think you see the momentum is with us and the good lord willing and the people willing, i think tomorrow nights going to be a very happy night. And i suspect that its going to be the same happy night in the governors race, as well. In terms of regularitys in florida, one polling place was on lockdown as precaution for 40 minutes. There were 911 calls about a man in the parking lot with a gun across his lap. When the Palm Bay Police showed up, they found a guy in his mid80s, not found to be a threat, he was not arrested. There are scattered reports of glitches, reports of long lines. Here at the collie r county library, the parking lot has been packed all day long. Shep. Shepard peter doocy live in florida. Democrat Claire Mccaskill running to keep her senate seat, in a state President Trump won by 19 points. Kristen fisher is live in st. Louis. Shep, when senator Claire Mccaskill showed up at this polling place to vote, she said this race is simply too close to call. She knows that because President Trump won this state by such a huge margin that it is going to be tight and shes going to need the people that voted for him in 2016 to vote for her in 2018. She spent closing days of the race traveling to trump country. Her Closing Argument has been shes not another crazy democrat, those are her words, shes a moderate willing to work across the aisle on issues that matter to voters in her state. I think there was assumption that a democrat couldnt compete in missouri anymore. And we i decided to do something that most democrats dont do and i spent a whole lot of time in some of the reddest parts of our state listening and that is how i learned. Not because there was a poll, that is how i learned about people being very danks about what was going on with healthcare. Her opponent, the states attorney general josh hawley says senator mccaskill is too liberal for missouri. Josh hawley did not answer questions today when he voted in missouri. He had lots to say at last nights rally with President Trump, his second rally with the president in just about four days. Hes running in lock step with trump agenda on issues like immigrati immigration, the caravan, Second Amendment and conservative judges, hes been trying to localize the National Issues and now we just wait and see which message resonates more with voter necessary missouri, stateship notoriously tough to predict. Kristin fisher live in st. Louis. The in arizona, trying to flip senate seat. Senator jeff flake announced hes retireing and is not on the ballot. The seat is open. The ocunia is live in mesa. Hi, shep, this is the busiest polling place in maricopa county. There has been a line behind me all day. The poof, it is gone, busy line all day long. This is one of the largest voting jurisdictions in the country and about an hour ago, congresswoman Martha Mcsally was here greeting voters, taking pictures, working to get that last undecided voter that might be walking in. This is a fight to the finish in the desert, shes under pressure to keep the open seat red. Here is what she told Fox Business Network. We have to make sure we keep it going and that is why you have to get off the sideline, the only poll that matters when they count the ballots. Democrat congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema was on the university of arizona this morning, handing out donuts, reminding voters polls close at 7. She is counting on the youth, latinos and crossover republican women to get her to victory. She wrote, were close to winning this election and giving everyday arizona a voice in the u. S. Senate. To everyone who knocked a door, called friends and neighbors or chipped into the campaign, thank you, now lets go win. Lets talk turnout. We got updated numbers on early voting ballots returned. According to secretary of state office 1. 6 million ballots have been returned in arizona, 41 of those ballots by republicans, 34 by democrats and 24 by unaffiliated. Each side is spinning numbers to their favor. What i can tell you we are looking for today, shep, is the older conservative voter. A place in arizona called sun city, a lot of older conservative voters, they have tradition of coming out on election day. Well see that big push. They will be met by that big getout the vote push, massive one by democrats all over the country f. They show up, stay like this all night long. Shep. Live in mesa. Nevada, now. Republicans are trying to hold on to a senate seat, in a state Hillary Clinton won in unsuccessful president ial bid in 2016. The dan springer is live in henderson. Shep, this is a senate seat democrats have been chomping at the bit to flip ever since dean heller won this election seat in 2012, narrowly won that year and narrowly is ahead in the polls in this one. This is marginally a still a swing state, but i tell you, trending more and more democratic in recent years, especially in high turnout elections and this is shaping up as one. Were at a polling place steady here all day. This is looking like it could set a record, record 40 of active voters on the roll showed up at polls earlier to do early voting. They are expecting another 20 to 25 of registered voters to show up today. Dean heller is considered most vulnerable. Hillary clinton won this state by 2. 5 in 2016. Hes a moderate who initially did not support donald trump, but trump campaigned for dean heller five times in the cycle. Jacky rosen hammered heller for repealing to repeal obamacare. Rosen is firstterm congresswoman fighting for name recognition, shes campaigned hard and feeling confident, mainly due to early voting polls, we have a graph to show you what has taken place in nevada in the early voting. 628,000 ballots cast, that is 40 of the registered voters and democrats have a 22, 292 vote lead over republicans in those who voted early. That is 3. 5 . We did speak to the chairman of the Republican Party in nevada and he feels confident that heller can make up the difference and he believes heller is guy who has crossover appeal to democrats and he will get this out, some democrats will vote for him and a lot of independent voters out here and the key swing area to look at is washoe county, republicans have slight rej stragsz advantage up there in reno. In early voting down by a point and a half. They have to turn that around in washoe county. Shep. Shepard dan live in henderson, nevada.

The Democrat Beto Orourke is making his final push to become first democrat elected to represent texas in the u. S. Senate in 30 years. He cast his vote this morning in el paso, trying to unseat incumbent ted cruz, running for second term in the u. S. Senate. Cruz is one of millions who voted early. Casey stegall is live in el paso. Shep, anyone in the state of texas will tell you, there is this Political Energy here that has not been felt in this otherwise deep red state for quite sometime, but the question as to whether that translates into big democratic victories tonight, well have to wait and see about that. Congressman beto orourke has been consistently out fundraising, his challenger or his opponent, throughout this election cycle. Breaking records, 70 million raised compared to ted cruz 33. 4 million and his grassroots style of campaigning has resonated with many voters, his calls to bring civility back to politics. Incumbent senator ted cruz has largely campaigned on his record over the last six years, echoing President Trumps plan of building a wall along our southern border, also touting his efforts to repeal and replace obamacare. Voters have been out in force today, we can tell you that, long lines reported at various polli ining locations across gr state of texas. Few technical problems experienced with voting equipment in the houston area, early, early this morning. County clerk tells us the issues have been resolved and early voting was huge here. You mentioned senator cruz early voted himself, nearly five million ballots were cast ahead of today in the state of texas. So that is a recordbreaking number. So big watch parties now planned here in el paso, where congressman orourke supporters will be gathering to watch the returns coming in. Senator cruz will be doing the same over in houston, hoping to pull out a victory and win another six years in office. Shep. Shepard casey stegall, live in el paso. Republicans trying to flip senate seat in indiana. Joe donnelly up against the g. O. P. Challenger mike braun. Mike is live in greenwood. And shep, people out here are saying they have never seen it get this busy at a polling location. I can show what you is going on inside, the activity is down from what we saw earlier in the day, people said it was taking three hours to cast a ballot, down to 55 minutes now. The inspector in johnson county, indiana, says it has been this busy all through early voting. Keep in mind, this is a deep red county, 42 point necessary favor of President Trump in 2016. And President Trump has been paying a lot of attention to this Indiana Senate race, made final stop in indiana last night, hitting a lot of familiar topics he gets to, job creation, the media, immigration, and the caravan. This senate race has been very close, in large part because the candidates are not dissimilar. Braun, republican challenger, a businessman, campaigns out an outsider, in sync with President Trump. Senator joe donnelly, incumbent campaigns as quite the moderate, in sync with President Trump, much of the time. It is interesting, talking with people as they are leaving this polling location, they say it is not really about braun or donnelly to them, it is about whether or not they will send President Trump more support in the senate. Shep. The mike tobin reporting live n. Tennessee, race to replace the senator bob corker, he is retiring and not on the ballot, so the seat is open.

Record spending, as well, more than 80 million spent, 50 million in outside money. Groups from across the country trying to shape this race, which could determine who controls the senate. This is a state President Trump won in a landslide in 2016 by 26 points, yet hes visited three times to make sure the republican Marsha Blackburn wins, hes come back and back and back to support her. Blackburn says shes a hardcore conservative, she is going to win, but her opponent phil bredesen, 74yearold popular, former governor is saying the same thing. He says hes encouraged by the youth vote, it is surging after endorsement by taylor swift. You wont hear bredesen mention Democratic Party much, he tries to play it down. Democratic leadership, he usually criticizes it. Back to you. Shepard the fight for control of the u. S. House of representatives and what were learning from the white house this election day.

All of these are drops of water, these races are close across the country. Paul ryan is not on the ballot, but went across the country to pull colleagues across the finish line. Ryan and other republicans trying to keep House Majority emphasizing the strong economy. I think our voters are looking for opportunity, hope, growth and opportunity, that is what weve given them through tax cuts and regulatory reform. They want to keep america safe, those are the two things our voters and want all americans want. Democratic majority could slam brakeos trump agenda and lead to investigations of President Trumps team and his administrations actions. Shep. Shepard live on capitol hill. The president is n
