Voters head to the polls on Election Day - where the focus of the off-year elections - points to races in New York, New Jersey and Virginia.
After months of tough campaigning, Virginians cast their ballots in the race for governor.
Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe - a businessman and major party fundraiser - has led the polls ahead of Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli - the Tea Party favorite.
The contest in Virginia has become a closely watched battleground ahead of the mid-term congressional elections next year - and the presidential election in 2016.
SOUNBITE: VIRGINIA VOTER, SAYING:
"I voted for Ken Cuccinelli and Mark Obenshain because they will stop Obamacare and Obamacare I'm already seeing it hurting a lot of people in Virginia and they will stop it."
SOUNBITE: VIRGINIA VOTER, SAYING:
"The intrusion of the Republicans into all rights of both female and women's issues, civil rights issues, I think is way off base."
