RACES TO WATCH
U.S. Senate: Incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheenis vying for a second term. She's up against Scott Brown, the former U.S. Senator from Massachusetts who is trying to become just the third person to represent two states in the Senate.
Governor: Maggie Hassan aims for a second, two-year term in Concord. The Democrat is opposed by Republican businessman Walt Havenstein in a race dominated by economic themes. It's rare for a first-term governor to be ousted.
U.S. House: In the 1st Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Carol Shea-Porter and Republican Frank Guinta face off for the third time. Annie Kuster, in the 2nd Congressional District, takes aim at a second term against Republican state Rep. Marilinda Garcia.
Legislature: Republicans in the state Senate currently have a 13-11 edge over Democrats. In the House of Representatives, a massive Republican wave could wrest control of the chamber from Democrats.
