Here are all our updates on today's midterm elections taking place outside of California:

1. Colorado

The Democrats are dethroned in Colorado. 

The Associated Press confirmed the victory of Republican Cory Gardner to the U.S. Senate for Colorado via Twitter. With 70 percent of the votes accounted for, Gardner sealed the victory with nearly 51 percent of the votes. Democrat Mark Udall, who has held the U.S. Senator position since 2009, received 44 percent of votes. This victory marks the first for Colorado’s Republican party for a senate or governor position since 2002. According to the Denver Post, Colorado’s result could be the deciding factor over which party gets control of the U.S. Senate.  

2. Georgia

The GOP dominated the House elections in Georgia with republicans Buddy Carter, Doug Collins, and Jody Hice all winning elections with at least two-thirds of the vote. The lone democratic House victory in Georgia went to incumbent Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. from the second district.

So far, Tom Price, Rob Woodall and Rick Allen are all holding comfortable leads and it appears they will win those elections as well.

In Georgia, the Senatorial race is still too close to call. Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue face off to see who will claim retiring Senator Saxby Chambliss’ seat. The most recent polling data indicates that the race will be close, and it is still an open race.

3. Iowa

In Iowa, Republican Jodi Ernst and Democrat Bruce Baley face off for the open Senate seat currently held by Democrat Tom Harkin, and polls are set to close at 10 o' clock tonight.

Bing predicts that Ernst will defeat Baley by a wide, two-fold margin, giving the GOP the chance to take another Senate seat away from Democrats.

4. Kansas

Republican incumbent Pat Roberts fended off independent challenger Greg Orman Tuesday as polls show an eight-point lead, according to CNN.

Their latest projections show Roberts with 52 percent of the vote, while Orman has 44 percent.

The candidates had been locked in a dead heat as Orman emerged as an unlikely opponent in the GOP-friendly state, where Republicans have managed to hold onto their spots in the Senate for more than 80 years.

This will be Roberts' fourth term. His unexpected weakness in the polls had led other prominent Republicans to Kansas to drum up support, including Mitt Romney and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

5. Kentucky

Mitch McConnell (R), the senior senator from Kentucky and current Senate Minority Leader, has been announced as the early winner in the Kentucky Senatorial Race.

Exit polls indicate that Sen. McConnell defeated Democratic candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes by almost 17 percent.

McConnell holds a projected nearly 57 percent of the vote, while Grimes is projected to have about 40 percent.

6. Maryland

Republican Larry Hogan leads Democrat Anthony Brown by a margin of five points, according to CNN polls, with 45 percent of the votes in.

7. Massachussetts

Ed Markey (D) has been re-elected to represent Massachusetts in the Senate, continuing his three-decade tenure in Congress. This year, Markey defeated opponent Brian Herr (R) by a landslide, taking over 62 percent of the votes.

6th District Democrat Seth Moulton and 9th District Democrat Bill Keating will represent Massachusetts in the House. 

8. Montana

The victory of Republican Steve Daines for Montana’s U.S. Senate position means another defeat for the Democrats — and, most importantly — means the party claims Senate majority. Confirmed by the Associated Press via Twitter, Daines won by a margin of nearly 13 points against Democrat Amanda Curtis. The race was called at 10 p.m. EST. 

A position previously held by a Democrat, Daines’ victory adds to the very rough night for the Democratic party. The Republicans collected wins in, “Arkansas, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota, West Virginia and Iowa, moving beyond the six-seat gain they need to win a majority,” according to USA Today. 

9. New Hampshire

Democrat incumbent Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has been announced winner of New Hampshire’s Senate race. With 19 percent of the vote counted, exit polls and vote analysis indicate that Sen. Shaheen defeated Republican challenger Scott Brown by only four percent.

Shaheen holds a projected 52 percent of the vote, while Brown holds almost 48 percent.

10. New Mexico 

Republican Susana Martinez has done it again — she remains New Mexico’s governor. This victory guarantees Martinez a second term. According to the Associated Press via Twitter, the race was called at 10:27 p.m. EST. Martinez defeated Democrat Gary King with a margin of more than 15 points. 

According to the El Paso Times, Martinez, “has positioned herself as a fiscal conservative with a moderate streak on certain social issues.” Martinez’s decisions in office do not mirror those of other Republican governors in the nation. She has abstained from pushing for controversial issues, such as late-term abortion. 

Martinez is New Mexico’s first female governor, as well as the first Hispanic female governor elected in the history of the United States. In 2013, Time named her one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world —  only one out of only two governors to make the list.

11. New York

Andrew Cuomo (D) has been re-elected to the governor's seat over Republican Rob Astorino with 58.2 percent of votes.

As for the House, closed-poll results indicate that 2nd District Republican Peter King, 11th District Republicant Michael Grimm and 23rd District Republicant Tom Reed, have won election.

12. North Carolina

The Republicans took 10 of the 13 congressional house districts in tonight's elections, according to the New York Times.

Clay Aiken's celebrity was not enough to unseat Republican incumbent Renee Ellmers in the second district. Aiken was defeated by a 59 to 41 percent margin.

In a historical note for the Democrats, Alma Adams won election in the vacant 12th District, taking three-fourths of the vote. Adams became the 100th woman elected to Congress.

In what was one of the most tightly-contested Senate races throughout the nation, Republican Thom Tillis earned the North Carolina senate seat with a narrow victory over Democrat Kay Hagan. 

Tillis garnered 49 percent of the vote while Hagan, the incumbent, earned 47 percent. The total vote difference between the two candidates was roughly 52,000, and it was just enough to give Tillis the nod in the Senate race.

13. Rhode Island

Jack Reed (D) defeated Mark Zaccaria (R) by seizing nearly 70 percent of votes in another landslide win. The win was not surprising, with Reed having a highly favorable 62 percent rating last February, according to Public Polling.

In the gubernatorial race, Democrat Gina Raimondo narrowly won the race over Allan Fung (R) by 2 percent. 

14. South Dakota

In South Dakota, GOP incumbent Dennis Daugaard is keeping his seat as governor, soundly defeating Democrat challenger Susan Wismer by 48 percent.

Daugaard is projected to hold almost 72 percent of the vote, while Wismer is projected to take barely 24 percent.

Republican Mike Rounds battled Democrat Rick Weiland for the open seat of Democrat incumbent Tim Johnson, who is retiring. Rounds defeated Weiland by 24 percent, taking a projected 52 percent of the vote to Weiland’s 28 percent.

15. Texas 

After voters took to the polls on Tuesday, Texans voted Republican Greg Abbott to replace current Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who will retire once his term is done. According to the Associated Press, Abbott took about 60% of the vote and his Democrat opponent Wendy Davis took about 38%.

Davis, a state senator, rose to fame when she filibustered an abortion bill for over 12 hours in the Texas state Senate in June 2013. Abbott, the Attorney General, is popular with both Tea Party activists and mainstream GOP, according to CBS Houston.  

Abbott's more noticeable endorsements came from the National Rifle Association and the Dallas Morning News. Davis recieved endorsements from the Houston Chronicle and Michelle Obama. Polls leading up to Election Day indicated that Abbott would win.
