U.S. Representative Bernie Sanders is headed to the U.S. Senate and Democratic state Senator Peter Welch is headed to the U.S. House of Representatives to replace him.
The two races were called by The Associated Press shortly after the polls closed in the state after analyzing the results of voter interviews conducted for The AP by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International.
The exit polling showed that Sanders had a commanding leading over Colchester businessman Rich Tarrant while Welch was leading Republican Martha Rainville.
