Tensions rise as midterm campaign ends with control of Congress at stake
What happened
US voters went to the polls on Tuesday in midterm elections that decide control of Congress for the last two years of President Donald Trump's term.
All 435 House seats and 35 of the 100 Senate seats are on the ballot; Democrats need to flip at least four Senate seats for a majority.
On Monday, the US Supreme Court rejected a Trump administration bid to stop California from counting mail-in ballots of more than 20,000 voters whom federal officials said were likely non-citizens.
A federal judge also ordered the administration to stop demanding that California separate ballots from people on lists of suspected noncitizens.
