CHICAGO --

CHICAGO (AP) Democratic challenger Tammy Duckworth has defeated freshman tea party Rep. Joe Walsh for a suburban Chicago congressional seat.

Duckworth is an Iraq War veteran who left her job in the Obama administration's Department of Veterans Affairs to run for Congress.

The race has been one of most closely watched nationwide as both parties identified it as high priority. The 8th District covers several Chicago suburbs and is one of the most racially diverse on the newly-drawn congressional map.

WEST PALM BEACH (CBSMiami) – The lone Congressional district in Florida that was too close to call could send one of the most fiery Congressman out of Washington.

Representative Allen West was trailing Democrat Patrick Murphy by less than 1 percent in the polls.

As of 12:51 a.m., Murphy had won 155,366 votes to West’s 154,392 votes, a margin of less than 1,000 votes.
