(The Center Square) - Polls are open across the U.S. as control of Congress hangs in the balance.
The Center Square plans coverage of more than 80 races on Tuesday night. In addition to deterring which party will control the U.S. House and Senate, voters in a number of states will elect governors, other statewide officers, state legislative seats and more.
