Four Senate Seats Not Yet Called

The Democrats picked up five seats in the Senate -- Colorado, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Virginia. Four more remain too close to call.

The election in Georgia will most likely to head to a runoff.

With 99 percent of precincts reporting early Wednesday afternoon, Chambliss had 1,841,449 votes, or 49.9 percent of the total, while Martin had 1,727,625 votes, or 47 percent. Libertarian Allen Buckley had 126,328 votes, or 3 percent.

Secretary of State Karen Handel said the election results will not be officially certified until sometime next week.

Norm Coleman leads Al Franken by about 720 votes and will trigger a recount under state law.

According to the figures, posted on the secretary of state's Web site, Coleman received 1,211,616 votes, or 42 percent, and Franken garnered 1,210,895 votes, or 41.97 percent. The vote count kept changing slightly as more counties reported their results.

Recounts are triggered in Minnesota when the winning margin is less than half of 1 percent.

"One half of one percent is 15,000 votes," Aiken said. "We are looking at a couple hundred here."

Ted Stevens leads challenger Mark Begich by about 4,000 votes.

Still to be counted are roughly 40,000 absentee ballots, with more expected to arrive in the mail, as well as 9,000 uncounted early votes and thousands of questioned ballots. The state Elections Division has up to 15 days after the election to tally all the remaining ballots before finalizing the count.

If the lead holds, Stevens will shock the nation and be the first person ever re-elected to the U.S. Senate after being found guilty on criminal charges.

In Oregon, Merkley (D) trails Gordon Smith by about a 1,000 votes. Merkley's prospects look promising though as most of the outstanding results will be coming from Lane and Multnomah Counties. You can get the most recent vote tallies for the Oregon race here.
