2030 GMT: Democrat Michael Bennet is now being called the winner in the Colorado Senate race. With 90% of the ballots counted, he has a 15,000-vote lead over Republican/Tea Party candidate Ken Buck.
1208 GMT:Senate Updates. Democrat Michael Bennet has taken his first lead, with 88% of the votes counted, over Republican/Tea Party candidate Ken Buck. It's only 48-47, but with the majority of outstanding ballots likely to favour Bennet, this looks a probably Democratic hold.
Washington, because of its large number of postal ballots to be counted, is in suspension with Democratic incumbent Patty Murray holding a 14,000 vote edge over Republican Dino Rossi. More than one-third of the vote remains to be tallied.
And in Alaska, it looks like Governor Lisa Murkowski, running as an Independent, will have enough of an edge to not only win but overcome any legal challenge. "Write-Ins", almost of which will be for Murkowski, has 41% v. 34% for the Tea Party candidate, Joe Miller, who upset her in the Republican primary.
