Senate and gubernatorial races are taking place in Gannett Broadcasting markets, including six of 11 toss-ups in the Senate and six of 11 key races for governor. |
Of eight to 10 Senate seats that were considered toss-ups, Republicans won nearly all of them. |
That race, along with Senate contests in Illinois, Colorado, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington state, were seen as toss-ups. |
While Republicans are expected to gain seats, as many as eight to 10 Senate races are still considered toss-ups that could go either way. |
