The Projo Election Day blog is covering this in depth, but for those of you coming here from elsewhere, the "closely contested" Rhode Island Senate race is not a squeaker.

Former state Atty. Gen. Sheldon Whitehouse has unseated Republican Lincoln Chafee.

With 475 of 565 precincts reporting, the R.I. Board of Elections count so far is:

Sheldon WHITEHOUSE Democrat 165,482 - 53.28%
Lincoln D. CHAFEE Republican 145,125 - 46.72%
