In the North Dakota election on Tuesday, the state's Senate race is likely to make bigger national headlines in the world of politics over the race for president.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is expected to easily win North Dakota's 3 electoral votes over Barack Obama. The Senate race between Democratic hopeful Heidi Heitkamp and Republican contender Rick Berg for the seat being vacated by incumbent Sen. Kent Conrad, a Democrat, is much more competitive.
The latest polls show Heitkamp and Berg running within just a few points of one another.
North Dakota's Republican governor, Jack Dalrymple, is expected to score a win over Democratic challenger Ryan Taylor on Tuesday.
