AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Minnesota on Election Day – WTOP News

The AP says early results may take hours as control of the Minnesota Senate and House hinges on close races and a reproductive rights measure.

  • On Tuesday, Maine voters will decide a high-stakes Senate contest, 15 U.S. House seats, and the governor's office in a race that could shape U.S. Senate control.
  • Republican Senator Susan Collins faces Democrat Troy Jackson, a former state Senate president who replaced Graham Platner in July after Platner faced controversies.
  • Pro-Collins forces have outspent pro-Jackson groups $65 million to $55 million in advertising since September 1, reflecting the intense national resources directed at this competitive race.
  • Maine uses ranked choice voting for federal offices, requiring a majority winner, while automatic recounts trigger if votes are tied or margins fall within narrow state-mandated thresholds.
  • The Associated Press will not declare winners before polls close at 8 p.m. local time, monitoring results as they tally across the state's hundreds of cities and towns.
