Polling stations have already opened in some parts of the United States where mid-term elections are being held for seats in senate and congress. 38 governors are to be elected as well as other seats. Although 210 million people are eligible to vote, voter turnout is expected to be as low as 40%. The latest polls show Republicans only slightly ahead of Democrats, but the Republican party is expected to make significant comebacks in today's race which came with a pricetag of US$4 billion. teleSUR
