Northern Marianas returns from an official source.

Since no candidate received 50% or more of the vote, a runoff election will be held between the top 2 vote getters: Hofschneider/Palacios (Republican, 36.27%) and Fitial/Inos (Covenant, 36.21%). The runoff is held 14 days after the results of the general election are certified. Since the certification is to occur not later than 10 days after the general election, the run off will be circa the end of November or beginning of December.

The Special Election in NEW YORK's 23rd Congressional District remains uncallable at this hour due to voting machine malfunctions earlier today in Fulton County, one of 11 counties wholly or partially in the District. The voting machines in question have been impounded by court order; meanwhile, election officials were forced to switch to paper ballots which will not be counted until absentee ballots are also counted next week. With the race between Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman and Democratic Party nominee Bill Owens tightening as more returns come in as the evening wears on, this race remains too close to call.

Update Wednesday at 12:32A EST: Over 11,000 absentee ballots have yet to be counted.
