UPDATES......
CT SEN : . In Connecticut, turnout seems to be high and steady. We can't say much more than that, if only because turnout projections often prove to be unreliable. There are no major reported problems with voting machines and equipment.
CT SEN : Sen. Joe Lieberman's campaign plans to ask federal officials to investigate what they call a the "disabling" attack on their campaign website. Sean Smith, posted a statement on the Joe2006 site today.
"For the past 24 hours the Friends for Joe Lieberman's website and email has been totally disrupted and disabled, we believe that this is the result of a coordinated attack by our political opponents. The campaign has notified the US Attorney and the Connecticut Chief State's Attorney and the campaign will be filing a formal complaint reflecting our concerns. The campaign has also notified the State Attorney General Dick Blumenthal for his review,"Smith wrote.
One reason an attack may have real consequences: the Lieberman campaign can't communicate via e-mail with their field offices and can't efficiently monitor their field program.
An official with the company that administers Lieberman's campaign website confirms that the service outage was not caused by an unpayment of bills.
The website outage is beginning to attract more media attention: Fox, CNN and MSNBC are working on stories. The Hotline's Blogometer has a full report.
TPM Muckraker Paul Kiel has more. NBC's First Read has good data on tonight's order of battle. MyDD's Matt Stoller and Chris Bowers alternate between optimism and pessimism.
MI SEN : The Hotline has learned that Oakland Co., MI Sheriff Mike Bouchard dumped $250K into his Senate campaign account within the last 48 hours. Bouchard recorded the self-donation in a report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
MI 07 : : We hear that former Democratic governor James Blanchard recorded telephone calls for residents of the 7th district. Blanchard touts Rep. Joe Schwarz's work on behalf of the state.
Tonight, the staff of the Hotline brings you live, real-time results and analysis on the Connecticut Senate primary, House primaries in Colorado, Michigan and Georgia.

I hope the Hotline will shed some light on Congresswoman McKinney's Challenger Hank Johnson as the polls come in. After watching these two debate on C-Span, it appears that this former county commissioner is simply jumping on an opportunity to unseat the hothead McKinney. The only way he could differentiate himself from her was to bring up the altercation she found herself in when entering a protected building near Capitol Hill. Granted, who would want to go out to dinner with her, but he really had nothing to offer and didn't know his Eastern European geography.
