Democrat Hillary Clinton is projected to win Connecticut in a tight race between her and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Aside from the race for the White House, 34 seats in the United State Senate were up for grabs, including the seat for incumbent Democrat Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.
The Associated Press projected Blumenthal to win re-election shortly after polls closed.
In the House, John Larson, Joe Courtney, Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes, and Elizabeth Esty have been re-elected, according to the AP.
Throughout the day, lines to vote in some parts of Connecticut were long.
