In Indiana, Republicans win heavily in a hard-fought election for federal and state seats.

With only an estimated fifteen thousand of more than 350,000 registered voters not casting a ballot, Indiana Republicans scored a narrow victory in most of the races, including eight out of the nine contested races for the United States Congress.  The party also maintained a ten seat majority in the State Senate and a twenty-two seat edge in the State house.  (By John Osborne)
