5:57 PM PT: The four key races left in Virginia are Senate Districts 17, 20, 36, and 38, all Dem-held. SD-13 is the closest GOP-held seat, but we're back ten points (though only a small amount reporting).
5:59 PM PT: Roundup of the key Virginia races:
• 38th: Dem leads 52-48 with 77% in.
• 36th: GOPer leads 53-47 with 19% in, but Fairfax has reported hardly anything yet.
• 20th: GOPer leads 47-46 with 86% in, no good Dem areas left.
• 17th: GOPer leads 50.2-49.6 with 62% in, best Dem county (Albemarle) still mostly out.
6:01 PM PT: First votes trickling in in Mississippi.
6:02 PM PT: Polls are now closed in Arizona, where GOP state Sen. President Russell Pearce faces a recall, and NY (several key local races).
6:05 PM PT: Another Dem seat, SD-01, in VA is also extremely close, but we're up 51-49 with just a few precincts left.
6:06 PM PT: Phew! The AP just called it for Dem Treasurer Todd Hollenbach, who for some reason managed to badly lag the rest of the Democratic ticket (the Ag. Commish race excepted).
6:07 PM PT: Good guys are up big, 60-40, on Maine's Question 1, with 12% reporting.
6:08 PM PT: Good guys are also up huge on Ohio's Issue 2, 64-36 with 11% reporting. Gonna be a huge black eye for GOP Gov. John Kasich.
6:11 PM PT: In New Jersey, Dem state Sen. Jeff Van Drew trails his GOP opponent 51-49 with 43% reporting in SD-01. I mention this race because Van Drew has often been talked about as a possible candidate for higher office.
6:13 PM PT: First few votes are showing up in the MI-HD-51 recall (better link here), and GOP state Rep. Paul Scott is narrowly avoiding getting yanked, 47 (yes on recall) to 53 (no).
6:20 PM PT: Woohoo! Big, big win for the good guys in Ohio. The AP calls Issue 2, which currently leads 63-37 with 19% reporting, for the good guys. Suck it, John Kasich!
6:25 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray): The liveblog continues in thread #6.
