For those of you scoring at home, we've put this together for you.
The table above is all of today's senate races with the races going down in order of difficulty for Republicans to win. Republicans currently have 23 seats that are not up for re-election. If they win only one tonight they will have 24, if they win all of them they will have 60.
You can find the House sheets from Nate Silver's website here. Each larger block of key races is based on when the polls close.
Each little block for each race has the names of the candidates, the state/district, which candidate is favored and by how much (red for Republicans, blue for Democrats).
The most important number in each little block is the one in parenthesis. For example, at 6 pm, if Young beats Hill in Indiana, that has a (41), which means if that is the only race we have information on, the Republicans should win at least 41 seats. As another example, if at 6 pm we find out that Lally (R) upsets Yarmouth (D) in Kentucky, then the GOP could pick up 102 seats. As the night progresses, look for a number zone where the races tend to be splitting evenly. That's very close to the number of House seats the GOP should pick up.
