Second District GOP hopeful Ann Wagner plans to join Hartzler at the Boone County Republican Party headquarters. Hartlzer then heads to Columbia's CARFAX data center on her own.

Hartzler faces Democrat Teresa Hensley, the Cass County prosecutor, in the Nov. 6 general election in a reconfigured district that now includes Boone County.

Among the few Republicans who have remained quiet Akin's comments are the Missouri GOP candidates for top state offices.

While other candidates were giving victory or concessions speeches, republican Lance Robbins had to wait until the very end to be sure. He ended up losing the Counter Commissioner nomination by just 59 votes to Dan Bormann.

Republican Don Bormann took his party's nomination after a neck-and-neck race against Lance Robbins. Shortly before the votes were tallied he mused on the best part about that night: no more campaigning in the hot summer sun!

We had two reporters at Sarah Steelman's watch party at this pizza place in Rolla.

For most of the evening, this is what supporters saw: an empty stage and a big Steelman banner. Steelman didn't show up for her watch party until results had been coming in for some time.

There she is! At about 9:30 Steelman shows up. The election was called not long afterward and she conceded, throwing her support behind Todd Akin

KBIA doesn't have much in the way of photojournalists, but we've got some smart reporters with some pretty smart smartphones!  Our news team spent most of the night in the field with the candidates as they waited for election results to come in and they had their twitter accounts fired up the whole time.  Check out our online coverage @kbia or at on the #midmovotes hashtag.  We've compiled a few of our twitpics here.
