1. 1935: Kim Gittleson, SeaTac, Washington 
   The law would affect about 6,300 workers, most of whom are employed at the airport. It's hoped that if successful, it could spur other efforts across the country in an attempt to combat rising income inequality, which recently hit its highest level since 1917.
2. 1932: Kim Gittleson, SeaTac, Washington 
   Here in the tiny airport town of SeaTac in the shadow of Seattle, Washington, a big battle is playing out. Proposition 1 would raise the minimum wage to $15 (£9.35) here - what proponents say is a "living wage".
3. 1930:
   

   New York Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio (left) posed with his family after voting at a Brooklyn library. Mr de Blasio, the city's public advocate, is seen as one of the most liberal candidates for mayor in decades.

   1928: Mark Mardell BBC North America editor 
   The head of the Virginia Republican Party is making a speech accusing Democrats of running a dirty campaign, hiding from debate and using a complicit media.

   1920: Mark Mardell BBC North America editor 
   I'm in Richmond, the Virginia state capital. Ken Cuccinelli was seen wandering through the Marriott hotel's ballroom about an hour ago, where Republicans will gather to hear the results. If they lose, it won't exactly send shockwaves, but it might prompt some soul-searching about the direction of the party and why it chose a Tea Party-backed social conservative. If he wins, there will be sighs of relief from conservatives.

   Republican Governor Christie voted in New Jersey. A big win on Tuesday in his Democratic-leaning state could enable him to make the case to voters in the 2016 Republican nomination fight that he can appeal across party lines.

   1911: Mark Mardell BBC North America editor 
   Talking to voters near Richmond, Virginia, it's clear that last month's partial government shutdown and concerns about women's rights put some off Republican candidate for governor Ken Cuccinelli. But equally there were those who backed his stand and wanted the Republican Party to move to the right.

   New York City voters will choose a successor to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-independent who was first elected in 2001. Polls close there at 21:00, just under two hours away.

    The polls in Virginia have closed. There, voters are picking a new governor. Democrat Terry McAuliffe faces Republican Ken Cuccinelli, the state's attorney general.
