VOA is now broadcasting the latest news on the battle for control of the US Senate.
Heading into election night, Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority, while Democrats need a clean four-seat gain to take control of the Senate.
In Virginia, VOA joins others in predicting that Democratic US Sen. Mark Warner will defeat Republican candidate Brett Mizusawa in the Senate race.
Virginia is home to the Pentagon, several major naval installations and key national and intelligence agencies, so the role of members of Congress who represent the state in US defense and foreign policy is of particular interest.
That means Democrats keep this seat in Virginia, holding onto their existing seats while seeking to pick up four Republican seats.
