    I just registered as a voter like a month ago and I haven't received my registration card yet. Too bad, because I was looking forward to it.

    Go Maria Cantwell and Darcy Burner.

    looks like the democrats are going to control the house, well those are the projections as of 11:20 eastern. nevertheless, most pundits have coined the election as a referendum on bush, if thats the case, the american people have no confidence in bush.

    Some states held elections for Governor, and all held elections for Senators (state representatives) and other high ranking state government officials.

    well in australia i'm assuming u guys have the parliamentary system, the american system is a little bit different. they have two houses- the senate and congress (both elected) and they elect their president as well. the american system is based on checks and balances and intended to be the opposite of the british parliamentary system. although the big difference is that the US is a two party system whereas australia is multi party, which might involve coalition building as is the case in australia currently.

    I have a few questions (I'm Canadian)

    So in the states during the midterm midtacular, its voting for the Senate?

    During the presidential election its voting for the president, and if the Democratic president gets elected he put representatives for every state and no republicans? and vice versa if a Republican president gets elected.

    Also during the presidential election the senate is unaffected right?
