Ya ok I know that the midterms are for electing some of the senate and all of the house but I can't recall is this the same election that you vote for the governor or are these seperate? And if it is at the same time as the midterm elections then how come some of the governor elections have already been held and how come some haven't?

God I really should have studied more in my state/local government class.
