Close Senate races boost role of Election Day weather
GOP hopes to win Senate control in a race so tight that weather could sway results. Tossup contests in Arkansas Colorado Missouri New Hampshire Minnesota and South Dakota plus uncertain outcomes elsewhere mark a critical finish. Mondale and Lautenberg’s candidacies reshape Minnesota and New Jersey as Wellstone’s death and Torricelli’s ethics woes alter Democratic chances. Runoffs loom in Louisiana if no 50 percent showing, potentially delaying control results.
