NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
The US midterm elections take place on Tuesday, November 8, with the fate of all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 35 in the Senate and 36 governorships in the hands of voters.

Below are key elements and races to watch for on Election Day, as well as some predictions.
