Democrats and Republicans are locked in a fierce electoral battle that will decide a number of critical races, including for U.S. Senator, Congress, governor, state and local seats.
On a national level, control of both chambers of Congress hang in the balance.

In the race for governor, Democratic former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms is slugging it out with billionaire businessman Rick Jackson, a health care executive. Polls show that race is tied.
