AP: Democrats flip Senate seats as GOP majority is tested
The Associated Press, via Boston.com, reported Democrats won Senate races in South Carolina and North Carolina as control of Congress remained unresolved Tuesday night.

Wire reporting: (AP, via Boston.com)
The Associated Press, in a dispatch carried by Boston.com, reported Tuesday that Democrat Annie Andrews defeated Republican Darline Graham for a U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina1.
AP said Graham had been appointed in July after Sen. Lindsey Graham died and that Andrews, a doctor, would be the first woman elected to the Senate from South Carolina and the first Democrat to win a Senate seat there in more than 20 years1.
The same report said Democrats flipped a Senate seat in North Carolina and that Sen. Jon Ossoff won reelection in Georgia, while Rep. Chris Pappas won a New Hampshire Senate race to succeed retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen1.
AP wrote that Democrats needed a net gain of four Senate seats for a majority and three House seats, and that several House Republicans had lost, including Rep. Tom Kean of New Jersey and three Pennsylvania Republicans1.
The story said polls were still open in some states and that more than 59 million people had voted early, according to an AP analysis1. AP also reported Sen. Ashley Moody won a Florida special election and that Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman won a Senate seat there1.
Boston.com published the AP NewsAlert with an earlier AP wrap; independent confirmation of each listed race was not in that single wire copy1.
