Voters inside Paradise Missionary Baptist Church in Kansas City, Kansas, marked their ballots Tuesday.

Voter turnout was tremendous in both Missouri and Kansas. While waiting for developments in the race for the White House, we dug into the state results.

In Missouri, it was a good night for Republican incumbents. The big surprise was the passing of Amendment 3, scrapping the Clean Missouri redistricting plan. In Kansas, Republicans kept Kansas' open senate seat along with their three congressional seats and Democrat Rep. Sharice Davids won her reelection bid.
