America Votes : Election Day Comes on Tuesday, November 3

Tuesday, November 3, is Election Day in the United States. It is a midterm election — an election in the middle of a president's four-year term. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are on the ballot, along with about a third of the Senate and governorships in many states.

Election Day, the clocks fall back, and a Sunday of NFL in Madrid and F1 in São Paulo — with the US electoral system explained simply, and Halloween still in the air.
