2002 Voting Results
While the nation remained united in mourning and moving on through the anniversary of such a tragedy, political season was coming. Elections for the House of Representatives, the Senate and various governors. Now, no one was sure how it would go. The Dems held onto a slight advantage, but beyond that, there was a balance and deadlock. Many have predicted overall Democrat gains, mainly due to the efforts done by President Al Gore in assisting the nation alongside with tackling the needs of the nation though some bipartisan victories meant it was not as big a gain. However, growing friction against corporations meant that representatives that have been more outspoken against corporate chicanery got a little boost. As Election Night was rolling out, the news over the various districts, victories and losses were seen.

However, the various senators were able to maintain to their seats, albeit barely. Of course, this meant thatthey would still need to work with the GOP. The Democrats have suceeded in maintaining all of their holdings while getting some more. With 52 Democratic senators, the Dems have gotten a majority, if barely, in the Senate.
