[0:00] And good evening. Thank you very much
[0:01] for joining us. As the results start to
[0:03] come in, what could be the most
[0:04] consequential midterm election in recent
[0:06] history? So much is on the line.
[0:08] >> There really is hundreds of local and
[0:10] state races that will impact you and
[0:12] your communities. The big story for us
[0:14] tonight is who will control the US
[0:16] Congress because both the House of
[0:17] Representatives and the Senate could
[0:19] flip impacting so much of what happens
[0:22] over the next two years.
[0:23] >> That's right. And for months and months
[0:25] now, we've been seeing the political ads
[0:26] talking about the polls, getting the
[0:28] calls and the text, watching the
[0:29] debates, the town halls as well. Well,
[0:31] now it is about you, the voters, who you
[0:34] voted for and why. In fact, in many
[0:36] parts of the country, the voting is
[0:37] still happening. People are still making
[0:38] their voices heard. You can see voting
[0:40] lines in Los Angeles here where polls
[0:42] won't close for another 4 hours. So,
[0:44] keep waiting, folks. Stay in line.
[0:46] >> And while today is election day, people
[0:48] have been voting in huge numbers for
[0:50] weeks. Take a look at this. More than 60
[0:52] million people voted early, either in
[0:55] person or by mail. Turnout will be
[0:57] hugely important tonight. And of course,
[0:59] billions were spent to energize voters
[1:01] and more importantly turn that
[1:03] enthusiasm into votes. I think that
[1:05] early votes a big story. It
[1:07] >> is a big story. And as we mentioned,
[1:08] results are starting to come in. Polls
[1:10] just closed in six states. So, let's get
[1:12] a look at those latest results. CBS News
