Nixon leads in North Carolina and Ohio close in race
Nixon appears headed for a North Carolina win as Scott expands his edge in the gubernatorial race. With 64 percent reporting in Ohio, Nixon leads Humphrey but late returns in Cuyahoga County could swing the result. Other races include Ervin's Senate win in North Carolina and Guy and Young re-elected in North Dakota. Oklahoma gives Nixon eight electoral votes and a GOP Senate seat.
