With 90 percent of precincts reporting, former Democratic Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp found herself clinging to a razor-thin lead over Rep. Rick Berg in a tightly-contested U.S. Senate race.

Unofficial results as of 11:50 p.m. had a total of 388 precincts reporting. Heitkamp was leading by a 50.6 percent to 49 percent margin.

Heitkamp’s race with Berg, which has drawn national attention in the battle for Senate control, is for the seat held by retiring Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad.

Of the remaining districts yet to report, a majority were in western North Dakota where Berg was expected to perform stronger than Heitkamp. Heitkamp was trying to preserve a seat for the Democrats and keep the Republicans from completing a wholesale change of North Dakota’s congressional delegation from Democratic control to Republican which began in 2010.
