A number of key U.S. Senate races will determine who controls Congress. We check in on three states to talk about early voting turnouts, how things are going at the polls, and the races to watch.

Stephen Fowler, political reporter from Georgia Public Broadcasting, joins us to discuss what’s happening in the state.

This decision could swing Pennsylvania’s tight midterm race.
