Join The Advocate for Live Coverage of LGBT Issues Tonight

As we have all campaign season, The Advocate will be covering all of the LGBT angles on Election Day.

Marriage equality is on the ballot in various forms in four states. Eight LGBT candidates are vying for House seats, plus a U.S. Senate candidate hopes to make history. State and local races include hundreds of LGBT candidates and a list of important firsts. Then the main event, of course, is President Obama versus Mitt Romney. That decision comes with broad implications for LGBT Americans. Here's our latest look at all of those races.
