Go to this website: http://news.yahoo.com/fc/US/Midterm_Elections_2006\nand click on your state.\n\nSociologists says that this election is more important than any election in the last 15 years.  Basically, you have the choice of taking away Republican rule of the house, or keeping the status quo.  There are probably a lot of local and state amendments that you will be reading.  I suggest you get on the bucket, pal, because it is probably a small book size.\n\nSuggestion.  If you really don't know the reason you are going to go vote tomorrow, I would suggest you refrain.  It's the people who don't know what they are voting for that tend to mess up what should be really done in this country.  Spend sometime online tonight, and if you are still baffled tomorrow, stay at home.

I think it is really close & the Republicans will stay stronger in their voting than ever  before if only to show the support they have been accused of lacking for the Government....There will always be tampering in the system but hopefully \na major coo like that you mentioned will be detected & relinquished before any damage is done..I'd like to think this election & those in the near future will be even more strict than 2004 was in order to maintain the official count as accurate.

This was a Mid-Term Election where only a part of the House and Senate are elected. We do it that way so government does not have a nonfunctional period.

thomas.loc.gov has a searchable database of all bills and resolutions introduced in Congress. The search results usually include a list of votes and how each member voted (under bill summary and congressional actions). In this case, you want H.J.RES.114 from the 107th Congress

No, for two reasons:\n\n1. The Dems are so inept that most races won't be close enough to consider a recount.  The only ones they're going to win are the ones in which they're already way out in front.\n\n2.  For most of the country, the good old paper trail, punch card systems have been replaced by electronic systems with no logging, no paper trail, no way to recount.  Thank the Repugs for this.\n\nSo, forget about recounts. Ain't gonna happen.

538 - 435 from the house of representatives, 100 from the senate, and 3 from Washington DC.  The constitution states that the capital is to have as many representatives as if it were a state "but in no event more than the smallest state" or something to that effect.  The smallest state has 3 representatives - 2 in the Senate (house of equal representation) and 1 in the House of Representatives (house of proportional representation).  The senators and house members are not the same people who make up the electoral college, though.  The only thing that's the same is the number of representatives for each state.\n270 is the minimum necessary to win (50 % + 1).
