US mid-term elections: New Jersey

For information on each state make a selection from the dropdown menu:

New Jersey

Incumbent Democratic Senator Robert Menendez beat Republican Tom Kean. Mr Menendez was appointed last year by newly-elected Governor Jon Corzine to fill Mr Corzine's vacant seat, so this was his first electoral test.

A win by Mr Kean could have derailed any hopes the Democrats had of regaining control of the Senate.

Republicans have complained about electronic voting systems.

SENATE
