-Source-ABC- A record number of women were elected to Congress on Tuesday night as an unprecedented number of female candidates ran for the first time. At least 98 women will be elected to the House of Representatives -- 84 Democrats 14 Republicans -- and 12 will join the Senate -- 10 Democrats two Republicans -- according to the latest projections by ABC News. The figure marks an all-time high for the number of women in the House but the results could fluctuate as more precincts report.
