PROVIDENCE -- Sheldon Whitehouse, who appears to have defeated incumbent U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee in a hotly-contested race of national significance, is expected to speak to his fellow Democrats at 11 p.m.

The party faithful are gathered on the 17th floor of the Providence Biltmore hotel, where other state candidates -- including Attorney General Patrick Lynch -- have already been giving thanks for their apparent elections.

Check the numbers for the U.S. Senate race as they become available from the state Board of Elections.
