This hour, we check in with reporters at polling places across Connecticut and take a closer look at key races in battleground states that could determine control of the U.S. House and Senate.

What are the most closely watched contests, and what could their outcomes mean for the country’s political future?

Plus, we examine election integrity and the efforts to ensure votes are counted securely and accurately.
