ST. LOUIS — A live incumbent found himself defeated by a dead challenger Tuesday night in a pivotal U.S. Senate election transformed by tragedy during the campaign's final days.
Carnahan wins Missouri Senate race
The Associated Press
Late Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan edged out Republican incumbent John Ashcroft early this morning with 50.3 percent of the vote, compared to Ashcroft's 48.5 percent.
Carnahan's 68-year-old widow, Jean, will inherit the seat after declaring herself strong enough to accept appointment to a two-year Senate term. She was at home in Rolla Tuesday night.
The crash occurred too late to revise the ballot. No one had ever posthumously won election to the Senate, though voters on at least three occasions sent deceased candidates to the House.
The plane crash that killed Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan,
his son and an alce last month turned his nationally watched contest against Republican Sen. John Ashcroft from notoriously bitter to blazer.
Ashcroft, 58, took an eight-day hiatus from campaigning, which he said hurt him when polls gave the deceased governor an edge.
Meanwhile, amid a grassroots effort to maintain momentum for the Carnahan name, the late governor's campaign spent $700,000 to broadcast a direct appeal from Mrs. Carnahan to keep her husband's vision alive.
He resumed with an ad featuring former Sen. John Danforth making this cryptic assertion: "What's happening today to John Ashcroft is just not right."
Ashcroft and GOP backers also attacked the media, saying journalists were suppressing his message.
Carnahan did best among younger voters and moderates, according to exit polling by Voter News Service. The poll of 1,444 Missouri voters found suburbanites favored Ashcroft, while Carnahan held the cities and the two split the rural vote.
In St. Louis, long lines of voters led a state judge, at Democrats' request, to order the city to keep its polls open until 10 p.m., three extra hours. A shortage of booths, ballots, judges and equipment had vexed the city throughout the day.
or minus 3.5 percentage points.
The two campaigns raised an estimated $16 million.
The sampling error was plus
But the Board of Election Commissioners appealed swiftly, and a three-judge panel of the Missouri Court of Appeals ordered the polls closed immediately — after they had been open nearly an extra hour.
The petition was filed by Congressional candidate William Lacy Clay, the Missouri Democratic Committee and the Gore-Lieberman campaign.

KANSAS CITY Mo
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Republican Jim Talent, the city congressman, rolled surprising rural strength into a narrow lead for governor Tuesday, as Democrat Bob Holden exuded confidence that St. Louis votes would give him a victory.
With 86 percent of 4,450 precincts reporting, Talent and Holden were tied at 49 percent each, though Holden was leading by about 2,200 votes at 1 a.m.
At least that many ballots were still uncounted in the largest metropolitan areas. Holden told his cheering backers in St. Louis: "I didn't promise you we'd win by a landslide. I just promised you we'd win."
If he continued rolling up St. Louis votes, Holden declared, "You're looking at the next governor of Missouri."
Talent also waited with his supporters, who kept chanting and applauding. "I'm on the edge, waiting for the outcome," Talent said shortly before midnight.
Winning would assure Talent of a place in Missouri history; no St. Louis area candidate had been elected governor since World War II.
Votes were still out in the Kansas City and St. Louis Democratic strongholds, and an exit poll gave Holden, the two-term state treasurer, a 58 percent to 40 percent lead over Talent in the metropolitan areas.
But Talent led in the Voter News Service exit poll in rural Missouri, outpacing Ozarks-reared Holden 52 percent to 46 percent outstate. Talent also led in suburban areas, 58 percent to 38 percent.
"I feel very good but I always believed that basically the same issues and positions would resonate everywhere," Talent said in an interview. He had stressed education and highway building. "I feel a great deal of peace and satisfaction over this whole thing."
Holden, the two-term state treasurer, was smiling as he went toe-toe-
oe with Talent across the state.
Tiny Gentry County in northwest Missouri was a symbol of the race's closeness: Holden carried it by one vote, 1,523-1,522, with all ballots counted.
Holden depended upon help from Democrats in the city of St. Louis, where extremely long lines at polling places prompted his party to persuade a circuit judge to issue an order keeping polls open three hours late.
But the city election board rushed to a state appeals court panel, which ordered doors closed on city polls around 7:40 p.m. Still, an unknown number of city voters apparently were able to get into line to vote after 7 p.m.
Holden campaign manager Richard Martin said keeping polls open later gave voters "an opportunity to do their constitutional duty."
And, Martin said in deep understatement, "these St. Louis votes can make the difference."
Holden attributed part of the higher turnout to renewed voter commitment following the plane crash death of Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan, the party's U.S. Senate nominee.
Talent, four-term representative from Chesterfield, said Carnahan's death Oct. 16 overshadowed the closing stretch of races for governor and other offices.
Still, he and Holden, who calls Jefferson City home, kept slugging about education and taxes, highways and values.
The other nominees for governor were John M. Swenson, Libertarian Party; Richard L. Smith, Constitution Party; Richard Allen Kline, Reform Party; and Lavoy "Zakl Baruti" Reed, Green Party. The Rev. Larry Rice, television evangelist and homeless advocate, was running as an independent.

NEW YORK — For the first time in his political life, the label "candidate" did not apply to Bill Clinton and there was little for him to do on Election Day beyond root from afar for his vice president and in person for his wife — the only first lady ever elected to public office.
After a day at their home in Chappaqua, the president and daughter Chelsea accompanied first
lady Hillary R o d h a m Clinton to down t own Manhattan to celebrate her historic victory over Rep. Rick Lazio in the New York Senate race.
Cheers echoed through the cavernous atrium of the Grand Hyatt Hotel as the
Hillary Clinton will be first First Lady elected to public office
first lady's supporters, watching televised reports, learned she had won. The Clintonts were in an upstairs suite watching returns and planned to greet those crowds later.
"He's very pleased. He's very excited. He's thrilled." White House press secretary Jake Siewert said of the president's reaction to the first lady's victory.
Almost as soon as the sun crested above the trees Tuesday, Clinton, his wife and their daughter were at Douglas Grafflin Elementary School in Chappaqua, casting their ballots for her and the Democratic presidential ticket of Al Gore and Joe Lieberman.
"You can't put me down as undecided," the president said as he emerged from behind the booth curtain.
With that, Clinton began his official journey to the sidelines. Still, he firmly rejected the lame duck label: "Some people thought I was a lame duck in '95. It just keep quacking. I've got another 10 weeks to quack."
Clinton called radio stations in targeted states to encourage voter turnout.
In an interview with New York station WBAI, Clinton turned combative after the host suggested that Green Party candidate Ralph Nader's supporters believe Clinton was "responsible for taking the Democratic Party to the right."
"What is the measure of taking the Democratic Party to the right?" Clinton asked, and launched into a defense of his policies.
"Now I have talked to you a long time," Clinton said. "It's Election Day, there is a lot of other people in America. I've got to go."
While Democratic throngs converged on Nashville, Tenn., for Gore's big night, Clinton said he didn't miss being on the ballot. "I've had my time, and it was a good time," he said late Monday. But he also admitted he felt "a little bit" wistful.
"I don't think I'm going to be running for anything. I'm just going to try to be a good citizen," Clinton mused while greeting a crowd outside the polling station where the first family voted. "I am going to be happy doing whatever I do. I've had a great life. I've been very lucky."
Mrs. Clinton was as ebullient as her husband was reflective. Chelsea, 20, emerged from the booth, signed an autograph for a poll worker then got a hug from her father while her mother voted. The resident voted

last, taking only a few seconds to cast his ballot.
En route to Chappaqua on Monday night, Clinton pledged to "manage the transition well" for whichever candidate wins the election, but indicated he didn't plan to go gently into lame-duckdom.
