will join us live. our powerhouse political team all spread out and start with cecilia vega with hillary clinton from the start and at her polling place this morning in west chester. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. 576 days campaigning, more than 280 campaign events, 37 states visited and now this historic day is finally here. hillary clinton calls this election the test of our time. when it was all over, h ? this is my fight song ? >> reporter: marking a historic moment at a historic place. [ chanting "hillary" ] >> reporter: on the same stage at philadelphia's independence mall, the obamas, the clintons and 33,000 people, the largest crowd of this entire campaign, all there for a symbolic passing of the torch. the president even paving the way by helping hillary clinton

>> see, when it's -- when it's not, it's gotta be permanently there for you. >> we face the test of our time, what will we vote for? not just against. >> reporter: the nation's first african-american president hoping his successor breaks barriers too. >> and i'm asking you to work as hard as you can this one last day to elt, american, this fighter, this stateswoman, this mother, this grandmother, this patriot, our next president of the united states of america. hillary clinton. >> reporter: and the first lady making one final pitch. >> we deserve a leader who sees our diversity not as a threat but as a blessing. >> reporter: clinton calling on

? tonight girl we'll be free all the promises will be broken ? >> reporter: to bon jovi. ? here comes the sun ? ? here comes the sun ? >> reporter: and the final day of campaigning didn't end there. a midnight rally in north carolina with lady gaga. ? >> reporter: overnight clinton flying back to new york and when she and supporters right there to welcome her home. so much of america waking up this morning saying they are glad election day is finally here and trust me, the campaign feels that way too. hillary clinton after her stop here today will be largely out of sight for the rest of the day until that big party tonight in manhattan. what she hopes, of course, is a victory party, aides tell us that they've got two speeches prepared for her, one for each possible outcome, robin. we don't know if she's looked at either one of those yet.

you. donald trump jr. is standing by and will join us in a moment. first joining us live the democratic nominee for vice president senator tim kaine is joining us live from richmond, virginia. good morning, senator. did you get any sleep last night? >> robin, i got about three hours of sleep but i feel about as good as you can feel with three hours of sleep. >> you've already cast your vote. >> i have, indeed. we opened the polls at 6:00 a.m. in virginia. i got there at quarter till and by the time i had voted there was already quite a long i was excited to see that. >> we're seeing already long lines all across the country as the polls are opening. senator, what have you seen so far be it the early voting and such, these last few days out on the campaign trail that have given you confidence or possibly concern, what have you seen? >> well, there are three things, robin that are really important that real data, you see who is registering to vote and then you see who is asking for absentee

then you also see the early vote participation in the states that allow it. and what we're seeing in terms of early participation is very, very strong. democracy always works better the more people participate and i think the energy and enthusiasm about what we believe will be a history making race, that's the thing that gives me the most, you know, the most feeling of optimism right now. >> there is a lot of enthusiasm, a number of states are still in play. what has you your eye on, gives you the greatest concern? >> well, yeah, there's a couple of states that i call checkmate states so probably 10 or 15 that are battleground states, but the ones we watch really close are checkmate states. those are states where if we win, we know hillary will be president and i say this about north carolina, pennsylvania, florida, ohio. these are four checkmates. i think if we win any of those

maybe win all of them but there are some of them will be really close, so we're watching those states very, very closely. also look, i'm selfish. virginia wasn't competitive at all when i got into politics in 1994 until president obama won it in 2008, it was assumed to be safe republican territory. our polls close at 7:00 p.m. this evening. so we'll probably know how virginia is going pretty early tonight and that will tell us something too. >> as voters head to there in your home state of virginia and all across the country, people who will be voting in favor of you, those who will not, what do you say to those people, the american people who are going out to let their voices be heard today after such a challenging election season? >> i just encourage them, robin. i lived in honduras 35 years ago. it was a military dictatorship and nobody could vote. they prayed for the day that they could elect their leaders,

power and respecting election results were what they looked at us as setting the example for, so my main pitch to everybody is, we are so blessed to have the opportunity to participate in a vigorous way. we just passed more than 200 million americans registered to vote in this country and i just hope we see record turnout for what i believe is going to be a history making election. >> and peaceful one at that. all right, senator tim kaine, thank you very much. wrapping up his campaign with a midnight rally in michigan. he is back in new york city this morning to vote. says he's going to win with the help of tom brady and bill belichick of the new england patriots. our tom llamas has been with him from the start. tussled with him at times here in midtown manhattan. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. this morning donald trump will be here in manhattan and he'll vote. he'll walk into his polling location, grab this giant ballot, he's going to open it up. at the top of that he'll have an

for president. now, melania and ivanka trump will also be voting with him this morning. this will be the first time ith ivanka votes for her father. he'll need every vote he can get. on the eve of election day, donald trump already declaring victory. >> i think we're going to blow them out tomorrow in a lot of different way, blow them out. no way. this is not the sound of a second place finisher, that i can tell you. >> reporter: trump's marathon campaign taking him to five battleground states in one day, finishing past midnight in grand rapids, michigan. >> we're hours away from a once in a lifetime change. we're going to have real change. >> reporter: but before that, laser light show in new hampshire and a surprise, trump

are supporting him. patriots coach bill belichick and quarterback tom brady. >> so i said, so, tom, you voted for me, you support me. am i allowed to say it tonight to this massive crowd in new hampshire? he said, if you want to say it, you can say it, okay. tom. that's what a champ is all about. >> reporter: in sarasota, the republican nominee pausing as his crowd erupted in chants of president trump. [ chanting "president trump" ] >> reporter: for trump reaching the height of presidential politics anything but humbling and making sure everyone remembers. >> they say it's the single greatest movement politically speaking in the history of this country. can you believe that? can you believe it? that's quite an honor. >> reporter: when asked by "the wall street journal" if it was all worth it, trump saying it took massive amounts of work,

into my life, unbelievably unfair hits to my family but the answer is very proudly yes. trump telling his supporters his work is done. now it's up to them. >> well, you know what you can do, go out and vote tomorrow. that's what you can do, i'll tell you. that's the only way. that's where you beat the rigging, folks. >> reporter: now donald trump says if he wins tonight he'll celebrate for an hour then wake up start working. if he loses movement or not donald trump says this will be the single biggest waste of time, money and energy. george. >> okay, tom, thank very much. let's talk to his son, donald trump jr. one of his dad's closest advisers. thanks for coming back in. i remember the morning of the iowa caucuses, the first votes. we sat down and talked. ten months later you're here on election day. how would you sum it up? >> incredible. to go around the country and see

political system and that's really a bipartisan problem, people who have been let down by politicians time and time again. to be able to see them face-to-face, not just on tv every once in a while but have them come up to you with that emotion, it's been awesome. it's moving. >> robin asked tim kaine where he sees hope. the polls show you behind right now. what are you looking for for hope? >> so i want everyone to turn out, people who have been let down, i want them to turn out and vote and bring their friends and we'll see what happens. i mean i have seen that from so many people that come up to us and you, keep doing what you're doing and i've had just as many come up and say, we love you, keep doing what you're doing. they've been put in a box oftentimes by the media. by a false narrative created out there. you know, they can't be as vocal about supporting trump and it's going to be interesting to see how that turns out. >> you saw your father last night at some of those rallies say if he loses this whole thing has been a waste of time. is that what you think? >> you know, i don't know about

wake up and start representing their constituency. what i've seen, government of the elite by the elite and for the elite. and seen it whether it be all of the corruption out there, all of the nonsense that we've been reading about over -- i don't think that's what the american want w want. they want a voice again. they haven't had it in a long time so hopefully we can be the start of that movement to give those people back their voice. >> this is a bitter campaign. if your dad wins, how does he bring the country together. >> i think he has doing what he's been doing. i was in detroit yesterday. my father has gone into the inner cities and gone to places where traditional republican candidates wouldn't go, wouldn't even think about bothering to campaign because he knows he has to be president for all of america and go into those places and make sure he follows through. >> if he loses will he work to bring the country together. >> i imagine he will. i think, you know, again, we've all grown a lot during this process. we've all learned a lot. easy to be glib when you're in stork city and work for a

been watching them for 18 months. their american dream has been exported to foreign countries and someone else is living that dream. weigh want to bring that back and do that as best we can regardless of the outcome. >> thanks for coming in this morning. >> that morning in iowa seems like a long time ago. >> i always say the last 18 months has been the longest ten years of my life. thank you. as voting gets under way our latest tracking poll shows hillary clinton holding steady with a four-point lead over donald trump. abc's jonathan karl joins us with a closer look at where it stands right now. millions heading out t the polls today. 45 million have already cast their vote. where do things stand right now? >> the early vote has been huge. robin, we don't know how any of these people have voted but we actually know quite a bit about who is voting. take the biggest swing state of them all, the state of florida, if you look at this you've had democrats with a slight edge over republican, a little bit over a percent.

independent. in the state of north carolina, you have democrats with an even bigger edge over republicans in the early vote and a considerable independent vote. here's the thing, though, although democrats in both those states have a big advantage it's actually less of an advantage than they had four years ago when barack obama barely won florida and lost the state of north carolina. so we don't know, again, how that vote is going to play out. >> you heard tim kaine talk about those checkmate states for hi plausible path now that our poll is showing him behind. >> it's a tough path. first of all, if you look at the abc rate ratings he has to go through and win every single one of the states that we have as toss-up states. even if he does that, george, take a look what happens to the electoral count. if he wins every single one of our toss-up states he is still short of the 270 he needs and needs to win one of these big blue states like michigan or

in a single poll since this election started. >> going back to the convention. jon karl, thanks very much. >> all right. this is going to be your home away from home today. michael will be -- tonight too. tonight michael is going to be outside and that's where he is right now with a look at what we can expect. michael. >> i'm going to be here. i'm going to have a coat on tonight. abc news, we are taking over times square for election 2016. we've got this giant interactive map that's going to change colors throughout the night when abc news projects a going to turn red or it's going to turn blue. now we've teamed up with facebook to create this booth in times square that's right behind me. we'll talk with some of the voigt from around the country in person, we're also going to talk to them on social media about some of the things that are most important to them and meanwhile, while this is happening here, the candidates, they've been having a little fun on social media lately. hillary clinton and her team taking on the mannequin challenge. there we go.

bill, huma, hillary and look at that, who is that in the back? jon bon jovi, that was on the plane, had a good time with that and also trump's kids have been having a little fun. ivanka and tiffany taking a snapchat puppy filter and there are lots of people out there using snapchat election day filters you wering you to get out and cast your important vote. celebs like john legend and chrissy teigen getting in on the action, as well and now we're calling f y action. write to us on our on the other hand meeting using #election2016. get out and vote and i'll bring in ginger zee. i found you out here standing all over the country. do you think the weather will influence voting. >> we in history it has, 1960, 2000. this year the trouble spots, michigan and ohio. i want to show you the map, though. we've got a lot of maps coming up and a lot of screens to showcase on this tuesday. look at that. dry and mild for most of the nation, michael. wet in the middle.

lgate total for whole mouth health. it is election day. back here at "gma," and that is jon bon jovi and lady gaga singing "livin' on a prayer" taking the stage last night at a star-studded rally for hillary clinton. and donald trump also his own big rally, hitting five battleground states in one day and saying he's going to win with support from patriots stars tom brady and bill belichick. >> got the patriots in his corner. so he says this morning. also, millions heading to the polls this morning. let's look live at people voting across the country right now. there's the battleground state of ohio, columbus, the capital and also people voting right here in new york city. >> look at those lines. yeah. >> yep, and it's not just the white house on the ballot. millions are heading to the polls to vote on some major hot

coming up. >> that's right. states are voting on everything from marijuana to the death penalty to gun control. it is a big day on a lot of issues coming up. robin. >> got to keep that in mind. a lot of excitement here in new york and in those battleground states that could determine the election. the candidates have been spending a lot of time in florida. it's considered a must-win for trump, but not a guarantee. paula faris is in miami shores. paula, what are you seeing so far? good morning. >> reporter: well, what i'm seeing, i'm not seeing a line state already voted. but it is all about florida. 29 electoral votes up for grabs. donald trump has spent more time and more money in this state than anywhere else. he calls it his second home. but it's almost impossible for him to win the presidency if he doesn't pick up this state. whereas secretary clinton who has also spent the most amount in florida, can still afford to lose florida and go on to win the presidency.

hispanic early vote, in 2012 that comprised 522,000 votes. fast forward to this election cycle, almost double. a massive surge. we're talking 980,000. and keep this in mind, 36% of those that voted early from the hispanic community in 2016, you guys, didn't even vote for years ago. this is a base that is extremely motivated. a base that is expected to skew heavily for secretary clinton and way base that could not only determine what happens in the sunshine state but ultimately decide the election. robin, back to you. >> paula, thank you. >> you know the sunshine state is important. but north carolina is also a major battleground state. and hillary clinton spent her final night of the campaign there and abc's linsey davis is in raleigh. a big law could help drive voter turnout. >> reporter: you're exactly right, good morning to you, michael. lots of enthusiasm here. the line to vote is actually out of the door. that's because there's so much at stake here in the tar heel state. for starters you have that transgender bathroom law. such a polarizing issue.

to drive a lot of people to the polls. in the most recent poll here in north carolina, you have clinton and trump tied neck and neck. in 2012, north carolina voted for mitt romney. in 2008, they voted for president obama. and prior to that, north carolina had not voted for a democrat for president since 1976, when we were talking about jimmy carter. but in 2008 a big help for president obama was the extremel hillary clinton will need a repeat of the same in order to win the state tonight, guys. >> okay, linsey, thanks. our whole political team here this morning. i'm joined by martha raddatz, matthew dowd, cokie roberts and along with alex castellanos and stephanie rawlings-blake, the democratic mayor of baltimore. thank you all for being here. matt, let me begin with you. suay, you said hillary clinton has a 95% chance of winning. you sticking with that? >> maybe 96% this morning. i think one of the mysteries we don't know, which could

today is, what's the composition of the electorate? i think the trump campaign hopes it looks like 2014. the clinton wants it to look like 2012 or 2008. i think donald trump's only chance would be like the new york giants, coming across town, going to madison square garden and beating the new york rangers on their ice. >> anything's possible. >> you accepted the challenge. well done. cokie, cokie, you and many others feel it's going to be a much tighter race. >> that's because the country is so divided and it's really hard one way or another. but i do think that matt is right. it will be like 2012 except on steroids. because we are seeing this big hispanic turnout, which is very interesting. i think the african-american turnout is going to get up. but we have a group of swing voters, people who have not voted democratic before and those are college-educated white women. and if the they vote for hillary clinton today and up to today

then she's got the election. >> and now alex, on george's show on sunday, you predicted a trump victory. but you agree it's going to be hard for him to win the latino vote. >> i think it's going to be very hard. matt is here to provide rational analysis. i'm here to balance that. >> sports analogy. >> as recent ly as 2006, more hispanics in florida were registered as republicans than democrats. boy, has that changed. and that is going to be, i think, the big moment of the night is, does donald trump take florida? if he does not, it's going to make the path ahead nearly impossible i think. >> martha, let's take a look at the big picture here and the entire campaign. what has really mattered. issues barely have come up at times, it seems. >> as you know, robin, i've been crossing the country and talking to voters. issues do come up. they really do. they talk about immigration and

to is temperament and character. and whether they have the temperament and character to address the issues they're talking about, to address national security. i heard again and again, temperament questions about donald trump and character questions about hillary clinton. so in the end, i think that's really what will make up people's minds. >> and bottom line, both candidates enter election day the least liked candidates in american history so, mayor blake, let me bring this to you. you are a hillary clinton supporter. even if she she's not going to have a honeymoon. looks like the majority of americans saying they don't like her. how does she address it? >> you've seen secretary as a resilient woman and i think she will be a resilient president and understands we have to heal our country. that's why she talks about the fact that we are stronger together. she understands the diversity of our country is truly our strength and i think that she is the right person at the right time when this country needs to come together to lead us. >> you know being in baltimore. how do you go about doing that,

mayor as her vice president. he knows the ground game. he knows how to get in communities and get things done. and you have a -- we will have a president who shows every single day that she cares about american families. and i think that will be the healing that our country needs. >> don't underestimate the excitement that will be there if, in fact, she wins. this dislike will go away at least briefly because she'll be the elected president. and she'll be the first amount of excitement. >> i think whoever wins, this country is exhausted from this election. we are all going to be hungry for something to bring the country together. and i think whoever wins is going to be given a gift. they're going to be given that moment to bring the country together. i hope they're wise enough to do it. >> matt, they'll require partners as well. for the sake of argument, if hillary clinton wins, as you

>> well, my guess is paul ryan and mitch mcconnell and others are going to basically take the reins away from donald trump as quick as they can tonight. take the keys away from him being the designated driver and position them as representing the republican party going forward. i think that's their biggest concern tonight. who is the leader of the republican party after tonight? >> all of you will be here with us tonight. thank you very much. get some sleep during the day. coming up here how secure are your votes and can the election be hacked? brian ross is here with what americans should really be ror polls. we'll be back in two minutes. ? ? ?

anybody trying to hack into the election. and here is abc's investigative correspondent brian ross with much more on this. good morning, brian. >> well, good morning, robin. the watch is on this morning as nearly every state has asked the federal government for help to protect its voting system from being hacked. but the fact that each state for the most part has its own somewhat antiquated, not always things is probably the best protection against the final outcome somehow being affected by a cyberattack. or as one candidate has claimed rigged. >> the system is rigged. the system is rigged, folks. it's all rigged. we're in a rigged system. the system is totally rigged and broken. >> reporter: cybersecurity experts have long warned about how simple it would be to mess with individual electronic voting booths. >> it would be very easy for someone to put a piece of malware on this type of device especially if these cards are

manipulate the card to either plant an embedded code on one of these devices or multiply the number of votes they're submitting. >> reporter: there is no evidence any such rigging has ever taken place. but at least four states, including illinois, have had their voter registration rolls targeted or scanned. >> we're highly confident that nothing was added, nothing was deleted, nothing was altered. >> reporter: but officials are concerned the scanning by hackers in russia or els may have been just a preparation for today. >> there have been a variety of scanning activities which is a preamble for potential intrusion activities. >> reporter: and security experts say the aim could be to cause confusion, hitting targets other than the voting systems themselves. >> organizations could hack into a social media system, could begin posting inaccurate or misleading information regarding the election. trying to undermine confidence in our election system. >> reporter: u.s. officials say

strongest way we know how, that any attempt to attack the u.s. election system will have the harshest consequences. >> can they do anything to stop these cyberattacks? >> reporter: they can. they're on patrol right now. department of homeland security headquarters. they can shut down attacks from overseas and can shut down the lines and blacklist a known address that is trying to attack into the system. >> brian, how about security in general? >> very high, especially here in new york with both candidates here outside trump tower this morning. trucks lining the outside to guard against crowds coming or possible bomb blasts. very heavy security. >> all right, brian, thank you. >> the u.s. has fingered the russians. let's see what the russians say. our alex marquardt is in moscow this morning. you know, putin has been a major player in this campaign the whole way and, of course, he's denying these charges from the u.s. intelligence officials. >> reporter: good morning, george. that's right. he has, of course, denied any role in the hacking and in speaking with experts here it's unclear whether an order would have come directly from putin or

something a bit more independent, that's likely we will never have an answer to. what is clear is that he has been seizing on the anger and division in the u.s. to fuel instability. and that's something that he's had quite some success with. >> he's been such a player in this entire election. we know that he was not happy with hillary clinton as secretary of state, vladimir putin, especially for what the u.s. did after he went into ukraine. donald trump said a lot of great things about vladimir putin, putin has said a couple of things about donald trump in but do we have any indication about who he really wants to win? >> reporter: no, we don't really know who he'd like to see inside the white house. he hasn't said anything publicly. people close to the kremlin have expressed doubt about trump's unpredictability. his lack of experience. if this were left up to ordinary russians, it's much clearer. in a poll released yesterday they overwhelmingly support trump. we know that he would get around

for both candidates here. you can see the souvenir shops rolling out the matryoshka or nesting dolls. with former presidents inside and the two candidates on the outside. >> alas, no electoral votes for donald trump in moscow. alex marquardt, thank you very much. >> all right, george and michael. coming up in just two minutes, the white house isn't the only issue on the ballot. the hot button issues sending millions of americans to the polls today. caring about this election season? we have letters from our children to the future president. and we'll have what they want to see from our next leader and for our country. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled

breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for

? all right, welcome back on this election day. with a major look at the issues on your ballot, amy has got those. and there's a lot more than the white house at stake.

political offices to all those ballot initiatives, voters have a lot on their plates in this election cycle. let's start with indiana. governor mike pence dropped his re-election bid so he could be donald trump's running mate and recent polls are showing eric holcomb in a tight race with democrat john gregg. it's a controversial law that is allowing deniable of services to same-sex people. it's playing a major part in that state and then marijuana is big on the ballots this year. five states are considering whether or not to legalize it. maine, massachusetts, arizona, nevada and california and that state is home to more than 10% of the u.s. population. so a lot of people impacted with that one. and then also in the golden state, a potential law on ammunition. prop 63 would make it illegal to own magazines that have more than ten rounds. and require background checks

it came about in the wake of the massacre in san bernardino. one more in california, voters there considering the state's death penalty prop 62 would scrap it entirely and replace it with life in prison. so a lot of people heading to the polls not just with the presidential candidate in mind, but voting on a lot of these propositions, robin. >> it is so important, amy, to keep that in mind. coming up -- from the trumps to the clintons, how are the candidates' families shaping the election? tension on election day and prior to and we have some great ways to deal with the stress. dr. ashton is going to be here with that. that's coming up.

"mr. garner, are you related to jennifer?" kind of joking with him. and my dad was so proud to tell her, "as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter". so now dad has the venture card, he's earning his double miles, and he made a friend at the company. can i say it? go ahead! what's in your wallet? nice job dad. back here on "good morning america," a little bit more

we know florida, swing state, that looks good. i mentioned earlier how michigan and ohio are going to be a big deal. and now i want to show you all the other states highlighted on this map with some of the trouble spots, so you can kind of see what's going on here. localized flooding possible. this is after a couple of days of six to even ten inches along the gulf coast but a lot of states down there not as crucial. it's right there with the michigan and, of course, ohio later in the afternoon and evening when the cold front approaches and showers start to fall that it could impact voter turnout. otherwise all those other states on the map are looking so good. one other headline that i wanted to get to, we haven't mentioned enough. north carolina in that drought, lots of fires. on the actual fire map, some of the most fires now in the southeast so all that brought to

"good morning america" is brought to you by the venture card from capital one. earn unlimited double miles you

be voting on a $40 million dollar bond issue. most of the money from the bond would fund water and land protection to improve water quality and mitigate flooding. some would also pay for improving parks and trails in linn county. if it passes, the owner of a home worth $140,000 dollars would pay an additional $27 dollars a year. a member of the board of conserva improvements would have a long-lasting impact. "i know if i just put $27 towards an effort it doesn't go very far. but all of us together, this can go really far and have a positive impact, um for the residents here today but also the residents here tomorrow. " the bond issue requires a 60% super majority to pass. voters in iowa city can decide on a measure that could lower the number of signatures needed to bring future initiatives and referendums in front of

people who vote in the last city election has to sign the document. if this measure passes today, it would lower that number to 10%. and now here's your first alert forecast. plan on a breezy and cooler election day. clouds should clear the area by 8am at the latest, allowing for sunny sky today. temperatures back well into the 50s by 2- 3pm. plan on wind speeds anywhere from 10-20 much of the day out of the northwest. through the rest of the week, the sky generally remains clear with highs well into the 50s and 60s as well as lows primarily into the 40s. the next best chance for any measurable rain isn't until at least 7 days from now. have a good election day!today: mostly sunny. wind: nw 10-20. high: 58 tonight: mostly clear and cooler. wind: n 5-10. low: 34 tomorrow: sunny. wind: nw 5-10. high: 58 tom. night: clear. wind: sw 5-10. low: 37 voters in linn county also have a chance to reduce the size of

members to 3. people supporting the change say it would cut

good morning, america. it's 8:00 a.m. decision day. both candidates pull out all the stops overnight. >> i'm here to ask you to vote for yourselves. >> it will be the most important vote. >> hillary clinton with the president, the first lady, the boss and bon jovi. >> we are going to be livin' on a prayer. >> donald trump crisscrosses five battleground states in one day. tomorrow in a lot of different way, blow them out. >> as the first votes are cast in new hampshire. hillary clinton and donald trump both voting this morning as americans head to the polls on this election day. secret weapons. which potential first family has been a great asset on the campaign trail? the "gma" exclusive poll revealing which family voters prefer. their influence on this historic race and how each has given their candidate a special edge in the race to the white house. ? we'll be safe and sound ?

reveal their hopes for the country. >> dear future president, this is what i want for the future of america. >> i want equal rights for everyone. >> solve any type of problem. >> i want america to be admired overseas. >> the issues that matter most to them and what they want the next president to know as we say -- [ chanting "good morning, america" ] >> and good morning, america. take a look right now. that is westchester, new york, hillary clinton has just entered the polling place right behind the door there. she is going to be voting this morning. i don't think there's any mystery about who she is going to be voting for or her husband former president bill clinton. there she is. as she was walking in just moments ago looking pretty chipper for someone who had very little sleep last night, they went from philadelphia to north carolina. there's mr. president, president bill clinton right there, as

jon bon jovi on the plane with them. bruce springsteen in philadelphia. lady gaga for the final concert as well, but now it comes down to the moment for her where she will cast her vote. there she is walking in. >> it must be something to see your name on the ballot as president of the united states. >> got to be such a moment. >> no matter who you are. >> and after all of this work. >> even for someone who has been first lady, secretary of state, a senator from the state of new york. she's seen herself on the ballot before as a senator but never -- >> as president -- >> -- never for president of the united states. another sign of our times right there. >> everybody has their phones. >> she might not stop for a selfie before she votes this morning, although we will see. >> this campaign season, who knows. it could very well be -- >> it looks like she is stopping to talk there. >> well, she may not stop but president bill clinton, he's there, maybe he could take the selfies while she goes in to vote. >> and, cecilia vega, you're on the scene there, as well? >> reporter: george, i am on the scene. they just pulled up right here

i tried to shout a question at her, asked her how she was feeling about election day. i got a big wave. i got no comment. i'm used to that one, george. she has called this the test of our time and election day is finally here. this historic day, a historic moment is how she closed down this campaign overnight. you mentioned that rally in philly. they were there on the historic independence mall and you mentioned some of the big names there, jon bon jovi, bruce springsteen, but, of side by side and not just that, the largest crowd of this entire campaign, 33,000 people, that's the biggest crowd for any candidate in this race and hillary clinton had a chance to make her closing argument. take a listen. >> we face the test of our time, what will we vote for, not just against. what will we decide is on the

the ballot, every issue you care about is on that ballot. >> and as we watch hillary clinton -- >> reporter: that is the point she is making in her closing argument. this stark contrast, the clinton campaign, george, is feeling very confident as know heading into election day. they're really talking about their ground game that they've spent months building up and say they've made contact with 45 million people since early voting began on door knocks and phone calls but hillary clinton is superstitious and still has two speeches ready just in case, george. >> she is but you're right dropping their veneer a little bit. a lot of confidence in the clinton camp. let's find the view from the trump camp from tom llamas in new york city. donald trump will be voting, as well, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. in just a couple of hours, we're expecting trump to appear here at this voting location in manhattan with melania and his daughter ivanka. now, you spoke of superstitions.

called up fox news, "fox & friends." he said he always did that before the primary win so he did that today and also acknowledged he does have some regrets but he didn't want to list them. he says you always have to look forward. he feels confident. he thinks they'll win florida and surprise people in other big states. now, yesterday he campaigned from 11:00 a.m. in the morning until 1:00 a.m. today this morning. he had a late night rally in grand rapids, michigan. he actualably believes that blue voters are going to turn out for him and he's going to be able to break that blue wall of support for hillary clinton. last night in new hampshire he had a crazy rally. it was a laser light show. his family was on stage, governor mike pence was there. his running mate, rudy giuliani and then he had a big surprise and announced he has the endorsement of two of the most popular people in new england and new hampshire, of course, they're in new england, quarterback tom brady for the patriots and, of course, also the patriots coach, bill belichick, who wrote him a very

now, if you want an endorsement in new england, it's definitely from those two, again, waiting for him to come here at some point to vote and we will ask him what it's like to vote for yourself for president. george. >> okay, tom llamas, thanks very much. now let's go to amy with the rest of the morning's top headlines. >> good morning, guys. and there is another drama playing out today in the senate where democrats need a net gain of at least four seats to take control and one state to watch is new hampshire where the race between republican kelly ayotte and democratic governor maggie hassan has swung back and forth and then in veteran jason kander is challenging republican roy blunt. kander's campaign ad showed him putting together a rifle blindfolded. well, the justice department is deploying 500 election monitors across 28 states today, they will be watching for voter intimidation. that's fewer monitors than four years ago. officials blame the decrease on a supreme court ruling that struck down part of the voting rights act. investigators across indiana are looking into thousands of cases of alleged voter

operatives from a group tied to the democratic party have been fabricating voter reg strayings for months to meet quotas, but so far no charges have been filed. and with both presidential candidates holding election night parties in manhattan, the nypd, as you might imagine, is deploying more than 5,000 officers, double the number usually assigned on election day. it's about the same number though deployed for new year's eve or the pope's visit. and you know what, finally, we have one picture that may just sum up the national mood on this election day. take a look. a divorce sale at this house on the market there in florida and there on the lawn a trump sign right next to a clinton sign. they say a picture says a thousand words, and i think that one does exactly that. >> they couldn't agree. >> divided america. >> that's it. thank you, amy. so you have a political "pop news" there. >> well, a little bit. a little news at the top and then a political asylum flavor for you.

we begin with kensington palace issuing an unprecedented statement asking the press and internet trolls, i say that in quotes, to respect prince harry and his american girlfriend meghan markle's privacy coming to her defense and acknowledging their relationship is in process. the letter explains, quote, prince harry is worried about ms. markel's safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. this is not a game. it is her life and his. prince harry says the media has, quote, crossed the line. >> the palace was livid in that letter. >> and we were correct in our reporting. we can now confirm apparently they are dating. >> but we are not trolls. >> we are not trolls, and i do think that they have every right to have a nice romance. >> but it is a big deal that she's now under the umbrella of protection of kensington palace. so, that's notable. >> there you go. >> breaking news from amy. we will stay on that story

election, some election theme "pop news." this year may be stressful, but voters in pennsylvania have puppies at the polls to make the ruff decision a little easier. the providence animal center and the pennsylvania spca will plan to have puppies at polling locations in an effort to attract millennial voters and also to reduce anxiety on everybody. >> ah, look at that face. >> this pawsome idea comes from next gen climate, it's initiative that brought pups to iowa and north carolina, pennsylvania, nevada and new hampshire and turning now to our own initiative to help as many shelter dogs find their forever homes, drum roll, please. [ drum roll ] could this be a coincidence or not, 1776 dogs have been adopted by our viewers as of this morning on election day. >> how patriotic. >> yes. hamilton-like popularity in our pawsome dog adoption. it's really exciting.

and then finally, it took a dog food commercial to deliver one of the strongest messages of this election. an actress sporting a pro-trump t-shirt pretends to lose her dog in the middle of a very big hillary clinton rally. she does the same thing later at a trump rally wearing a hillary t-shirt and asking people if they can help her find the dog's rightful owner. she's wearing the t-shirt. this is a social media experiment. the reactions you are seeing are real. the growling you also see stops by the end of the commercial when the dog is reunited with its owner, the message is loud and clear, we are all concerned about the same things, we all have heart and when it comes to dogs, there are no political parties. it's a really warm, wonderful commercial, brought a tear to my eye. pedigree did a great job and at the end of the day on this day, that's what we have to remember. we all want the same things for our children and our country and that is "pop news." >> thank you. ah. >> great job.

i'd like to do it again, you're working it. you're working it. coming up, the candidates' secret weapons. their families. we've got an exclusive poll revealing what americans think about the clintons and the trumps. come on back. you know how it is, someone does something nice for you and you feel obligated to do something nice back. maybe your aunt sent you a crocheted scarf, you sent a thank you note... and the crochet just kept on coming. well, at carmax, you don't have to return the favor. a car from them. because feeling obligated is uncomfortable. and tight. in places it shouldn't be. carmax won't make you feel that way. lucky you. i feel like a quilt. ? ? for millions of baby boomers there's a virus out there. a virus that's serious, like hiv, but it hasn't been talked about much.

it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. that's because hep c can hide in your body silently for years, even decades, without symptoms and it's not tested for in routine blood work. if left untreated, hep c can cause liver damage, even liver cancer. but there's important information for us: the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested for hep c. and if you have hep c, it can be cured. be sure to ask your doctor to get tested for hep c. for us it's time to get tested.

fact. advil is not only strong it's gentle on your body too. no wonder doctors and patients have trusted advil... for their tough pains for over 30 years. relief doesn't get any better than this.

and welcome back to "gma" and take a look, former president bill clinton along with secretary clinton going to vote. this will be the first time she of the united states in a general election. of course, she has done it during the primaries and both candidates have had their families by their sides on and off the trail this season. >> and since you mention that, george, the results of a "gma" exclusive poll suggests more voters believe the trump family has been a greater asset than the clinton family. 46% to 41% but will that sway voters? let's go back to abc's palmer.

she's in miami shores, florida, with much more on this. hey there. looking good there, paula. >> good morning. hi there. thanks, robin. family, ah, we all love our family, as we just mentioned trump's family is seen more of an asset than hillary clinton's family. families tend to humanize the candidates but as we all know families can bring out the best in us and the absolute worst. it's a long-standing political tradition. >> he will make fantastic president. >> she's strong enough to be president. >> i am so fiercely, ridiculously proud of my mom. >> reporter: the potential first families pounding the campaign pavement for that presidential win. >> we get a sense of who they are through their children, through their spouse. we want to get a human connection to that individual. families give us that connection. >> she's the best darned change maker i ever met in my entire life. >> reporter: still hugely popular in democratic circles, president bill clinton has tried to capitalize on that love. staying largely on message while

>> i have been aware of his love for this country since we first met. >> reporter: but in a rare move for political spouses, melania trump has been mostly absent from the trail. >> so it's hard to say whether she's been a positive or negative factor. she really has been a neutral factor. she really hasn't taken to the stump herself. we really haven't gotten a direct connection to melania trump through any of her independent efforts. >> my only mission is to get him there beca >> reporter: some saying the trump children, especially ivanka, have filled that void. the eldest trump daughter emerging as one of her father's strongest political assets even announcing major policy plans. >> we had a very comprehensive plan for how to make child care more affordable, more accessible, create more optionality. >> i think ivanka trump has been a better surrogate and a more

father than any of her siblings or melania trump. i think she's been poised, she's been on message. >> i know with all my heart that my mother will make us proud as our next president. >> reporter: and as an experienced campaigner, some political analysts say that chelsea clinton has helped to show the softer side of her mother. >> i think where chelsea clinton has broken through, it's in talking about her mom as a mom. talking about herself as a mom. it's theer can vouch for her mom's candidacy. >> la familia. so who would do what within the administration? melania says as potential first lady she would champion children's causes, cyberbullying and social media. donald trump, a lot of people really want his children to get involved said that they probably would not serve in any capacity in the white house. as for hillary clinton, bill would serve in some sort of role focusing on the economy and chelsea clinton has told many friends that if her parents

return to the white house keeping it all in the family, guys. >> all in the family. looking good there in miami, thank you, paula. our little slogan for our family is family, we may not have it all together but together we have it all. >> good one. >> that's how it is. thank you. coming up, what are your kids saying about america's next president? this will warm your heart.

square but not for ohio. look at this map quickly. that shower and the cold front coming through, one until 8:00 p.m. you got showers in your forecast. all right. we're also standing by because we're about to hear from should clear the area by 8am at the latest, allowing for sunny sky today. temperatures will initially fall through around 10am, then bounce back well into the 50s by 2- 3pm. plan on wind speeds anywhere from 10-20 much of the day out of the northwest. through the rest of the week, the sky generally remains clear with highs well into the 50s and 60s as well as lows primarily into the 40s. the next best chance for any measurable rain isn't until at least 7 days from now. have a good election day!today: mostly

all right, as ginger said, it is now time to hear from the kids. our future voters to find out what they think is most important. take a look at what they're sharing in letters to our future president. ? >> dear future president. >> dear future president. >> dear future president. >> this is what i want for the future of america. >> i want america to kin to of freedom that it is to all people around the world. >> to be welcoming to other people. >> i want everybody to treat others fairly. >> i want us to love everyone in our country. >> make us love again and not hate. >> i would like for you to improve our lives and stop wars in other countries and have more bully-free schools. >> please stop violence and please help our country be beautiful. >> i would like men and women to have equal pay, and i would like

control. >> please take care of our country and make sure nobody gets hurt. >> keep the country and the world safe. serve chick-fil-a at school every monday. >> i want the world to be a lot more safe. >> i hope america is a very peaceful country and i also hope that nobody is discriminated against. >> dear future president, i like america to have lots of love. >> everyone that needs health care should be able to get it. >> for all americans to have food, clothing and shelter. >> lower taxes so it will be easier for some people. >> bigger and better job, homes and schools. >> no war, no crime, no hunger. >> children born in poverty have suffered for far too long. more programs for the homeless, racial equality, less pollution.

to have a good education and to be treated well. >> what i really want is to make college education less expensive. >> i would like you to treat other countries with the respect they deserve, even if that sometimes means putting down pride. >> i would like for you to rebuild relationships with other countries. >> dear future president, congratulations on your new job. i hope you spend the next four years finding a way to get rid of homework! >> perfect. >> all politics is local. >> yes, it is. >> and doesn't it sound so simple when they say it? sounds so right and simple. we have more coming up. we'll go behind the scenes on the campaign trail with four people who went everywhere with the candidates and you're going to see what

name is tara rodman and joining us today is janet outlund from systems unlimited. systems unlimited has a lot to offer eastern iowa, what can you share with us? we're an agency that promotes growth and dignity for individuals with development or mental disabilities and behavioral health needs. we have our supported community living program that provides services for people residentially. we have our employment

employment day habilitation services for individuals. and then we have mental health services provided by family systems therapy and concealing program. wow. how many folks would you say you serve? we serve in eastern iowa fourteen hundred individuals each year in nine counties with offices in seven counties. so you're in nine counties? yes. wow. so pretty much anybody any where can get to you. yes, and not a lot of people know that we serve five hundred individuals in cedar rapids. my goodness, now if with you and use you, how would they go about finding you? just calling 319-338-9212 or going to our website www.sui.org. well i want to thank you for going us this morning. it sounds like systems unlimited has a lot to offer. thank you.

>> i'm ready. >> you'll be surrounded by a cast of thousands. >> you will be at the javits center with hillary clinton's campaign and you will be -- >> at the hilton. >> we'll be blocks apart. we've got clinton down on 33rd. we're on 44th and here on 53rd. >> very good. yes. >> got it all. and there's a lot of voting in space today. believe it or not, one vote. kimbrough submitted his ballot. vote while you float in that is some absentee ballot. no one has any excuses if he voted. you know where they're voting as well in the battleground state of pennsylvania where hillary

rally overnight joined by the president and first lady and a few other stars. abc's eva pilgrim is there in philadelphia. what a night it was, eva. >> reporter: yeah, big night. this is a tipping point state, amy. a state that could put either candidate over the edge. while this state has historically gone to the democrats every year since 1992, it is very much at play this year. both candidates making big last-minute pushes. trump with a big crowd in scranton and predicted i clinton with that star-studded packed crowd at independence mall. she had bon jovi, she had bruce springsteen as well as the president and mrs. obama. and a key area for people to watch here is these philadelphia suburbs. they've historically gone republican but the changing demographics make this an area either candidate can win and for trump this is especially important. republicans usually have to

to win this state, amy. >> all right, eva, that's of course, why we saw melania there last week, robin. >> we'll watch those all night long. outside to lara and michael now. >> thank you so much, george. also here this morning our campaign reporters who have been on the trail since that very first day traveling almost 2 million miles combined. we're going to talk to them in just a moment. but first let's take a look at what they saw behind the scenes. from twoew >> i am officially running -- >> i'm back. >> to one seat in the oval our tireless abc campaign reporters have been there for it all following the two candidates still vying for your vote. >> to think that from that escalator we have gone two iowa, new hampshire, nevada, south carolina, texas, florida, i mean, you name it. >> you see thing, you get to cross this beautiful amazing country. it's been an incredible experience. >> sacrificing their normal

clinton full time since she launched her campaign 575 days ago. >> the campaign plane, it's where we eat, we live. we sleep. >> witnessing firsthand the moment hillary clinton and donald trump became the official nominees. >> i accept your nomination. >> what surprised me was how rocky that road was to get there. i don't think anybody could have expected the movement around bernie sanders. >> i humbly accept your nomination. >> he has become the republican nominee, the most unlikely candidate ever, ever, no one ever thought this was possible but somehow trump has pulled this off. >> reporting from the front lines, collectively filing more than 1,000 articles. blasting out 19,000 tweets and giving us rare access to the country's future leader. >> a top moment was the day i got to interview hillary clinton one-on-one. i got an hour's notice before

questions together and at the end we just chatted casually. she told me about a bracelet she wear, one that nelson mandela gave her and another that has a charm of her granddaughter charlotte on it. >> he's very close to his little army. he wants everyone's opinion. he's very engaged with them. he knows what's going on in their lives. that little team around him is really become a very tight-knit family. >> and picking up a few hacks for life on the road. >> you he single rewards program imaginable. >> getting tsa precheck was critical to my time on the campaign trail? nyquil, day quill, you never know. band-aid, you never know. >> a life-changing experience that comes to a dramatic conclusion today. >> to think after all of in that it's suddenly over, it's weird. i mean, this is our lives. >> but for them figuring out what's next is easy. >> the first thing i will do is

on first and foremost sleeping. >> most importantly i think sleep. >> but before they sleep, they are with us. list kreutz and josh haskell has been covering the clinton campaign, thank you so very much. and on this side, john santucci and candace smith have been with trump's campaign from the beginning. want to ask how happy are you to have your lives back? >> they're not back yet. a if you week a >> watching that piece you want to go do it again. we had so much fun. >> i think you're the only one who wants to do it again, john. >> sign me up, let's go. >> he does get into it and does a great job. >> josh, what are you going to miss most about being on the road? >> the spontaneity of it all. you never know what's going to happen. my gear in my apartment at all types and never forget sunday, 9/11, hillary clinton was doing no public events just that memorial and heard she had some

ceremony and i'm racing to chelsea clinton's apartment two minutes from mine and there's hillary clinton and i covered that story for the next two weeks, never got back home. >> so really it is breaking news, you are on the move all the time. liz, this is your first time. how was the experience for you? i know off camera you were saying those planes and all of that travel was actually rather fun. >> yeah, it actually is, you know, as much as it's grueling you can see where it's a 24/7 job, it's so much fun. we all become sort of like a i'll miss. >> all the other networks. >> and other reporters and we sort of are in this together because it's such a wild ride and no one else could understand it and, you know, there's also fun types -- we have moments with hillary clinton where she'll come back and take questions from us and we often climb on top of each other and create this sort of human pyramid on the seats of the plane to try to get in and ask a question. >> it's a lot of chaos, though. you don't have a desk. you don't have anything like that and i'm sure you are always on top of each other.

that you really needed internet. >> well, yeah, the day that director comey had released his update to the letter. we had no way to communicate or even know about it and we told the clinton campaign staffers about the story and seeing their faces and not being able to report it out, it was quite a situation, but, you know, people lived in a time without internet so -- >> there's got to be a way. we did it before. we have to do it again. candace, not one but two embed, wi j trump and a bit of a mishap on your end once. >> well, you know, i think through the course of this year and a half i've traveled to 700 -- i've traveled to 300 city, 38 state, probably 700,000 miles so sometimes you forget where you are so i was in wisconsin supposed to be driving to milwaukee. i put in the name of my hotel driving catching up on calls and see signs for minneapolis, i had driven 3 1/2 hours in the wrong direction so needless to say i missed that event.

>> you may have missed that event that day but you made it here today. welcome back. hopefully civility cops to your life and all of you can get some sleep. >> yes. >> all right. that's the bottom line. that's a mandate we're giving you. get some sleep. stay right there. coming up, the best ways to deal with all of that election stress. we're going to find out from dr. ashton. maybe you guys should stick around. >> this next one is for you. >> yeah.

back here on "good morning america," did you know that election night is one of the biggest pizza eating nights of the year. i didn't know that but our sponsor pizza hut does and kick off the day. go ahead, guys. with a little bit of pizza for everybody here in the audience. it's good, right? good for breakfast. tastes delicious. all right. well, tonight you all have a chance to do just that. we're all glued to our tvs watching the results come in. pizza hut is offering any large bucks. that's right. you can have two. i don't care. i mean ask your mom. cooler election day. clouds should clear the area by 8am at the latest, allowing for sunny sky today. temperatures will initially fall through around 10am, then bounce back well into the 50s by 2- 3pm. plan on wind speeds anywhere from 10-20 much of the day out of the northwest. through the rest of and you know i'm going to get in on this action, robin.

>> we'll get a slice of pizza. that's one way. i don't need a tracking poll to tell me that stress is really something that is very apparent with a lot of people here in america today and through this whole election process. dr. janet taylor, dr. jen ashton, thank you very much. what are some patients telling you. >> this is not a joke. i am literally seeing patients come into my office of all ages complaining, they're saying outright they're stressed. what does that look like, migraine headache, palpitations. some literal asking for anti-anxiety medication of i ask what is triggering their stress, their answer, the future of our country, politic, the election, this is not a joke. it's real and they are definitely having physical consequences. >> and children, janet, we keep hearing from parents about how their children are handling what's happening. >> yeah, they are. they are watching and so some of the things you can do as a parent, ask your child how are you feeling?

tell them, you know, i hope my candidate wins because i support and mention an issue so you're always relating it to something and also make it relatable to how you deal with a loss or how you act when you win. when your soccer team loses or wins and you're like good game, if you lost you go back and say how can i make myself better as an individual and also the team h is all about one country and all of us together. >> i love that. be a classy winner, be a classy loser. that's what you two are always telling us about. that's what parents can do. what can parents do for themselves. >> the first thing is acknowledge the stress. that's number one. number two, talk about it. don't feel like you have to keep it inside just because it's a loaded topic and then you know i always think focus on the basic, trifecta of health, eat well, try to sleep well, try to move your body every day and you know i'm a big believer in meditation as i know you are. >> i did it this morning. >> i think we need a double session today.

up. that's right. >> three people. >> yes. >> every day. we need it. >> it really does -- people say who can't do it, if we can do it, you can do it. would you encourage watching tonight with your children? >> well, absolutely because, again, you know, competition is good. you learn to grow, you learn maturity but so is cooperation so we need to talk about how we can cooperate together and unity, moving forward with healing and forgiveness, and most importantly, love and hope for the future. >> and please let people over again the stressful feeling. it's okay. it's okay. this is a very important time. >> you're human. your brain is always thinking and on and it's am i going to be stressed or relaxed and choose to practice med take and think about what's positive. >> uh-huh. so important. >> any pizza? >> i'll have a slice. >> doctor's orders. >> doctor's orders. you heard from the doctor. thank you both very much.

okay, by this time tomorrow election likely not certain to be over. it's been a long road full of twist and turns. no one could predict it. here's a look back at how we got here. >> i am officially running for president of >> i'm back. i'm running for president. >> when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, their rapists. >> i've been called many things by people. quitter is not one of them. >> you call women you don't like fat pigs. >> only rosie o'donnell if for the record it was well beyond

>> breathe. >> lying ted. >> you can do it. >> should corporate america love hillary clinton? >> everybody should. >> can i finish please? all right. >> i don't know what i said. i don't remember. >> we're going to build a wall. >> the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails. >> i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any did you mean all 1.6 billion muslims? >> i mean a lot of them. ? we are the champions ? >> i humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the united states. >> i accept your nomination for

after all, when there are no ceilings the sky's the limit. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails. >> and they showed he didn't pay any federal income tax so -- >> that makes me smart. >> donald supported the invasion of iraq. >> wrong. >> that is absolutely -- >> wrong. >> proved. >> which means he's either not that rich >> wrong. >> or he's never paid tacks in his life. >> wronger. >> as clinton tries to enter the van she loses her footing and nearly collapses. >> you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. >> grab them by the [ bleep ]. you can do anything. >> i said it. i was wrong and i apologize. >> avalanche of accusations against donald trump. >> such a nasty woman. >> and you know what else i

president. >> the process of rigged. >> the fbi gets a warrant to examine thousands of e-mails from a top clinton aide. >> it's pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election. >> our new poll shows the race for the white house remains neck and neck. >> the story and mark updegrove joins cokie and matt. it's like -- you sit back and you watch >> it's depressing. >> no, no, what was the biggest moment for you. >> we saw a lot of them there. but i also think that back in the republican primaries, when we had all of those people, how did we get to donald trump? and one of the moments was when george was doing the debate in new hampshire and chris christie just went after marco rubio. >> it was martha and david doing the debate but i agree. i think that was an absolutely key moment in the campaign, had that not happened marco rubio was rising.

new hampshire. would have had a different primary race. what about you? >> my moment which set all of this in motion was the day he came down that escalator and gave that speech because i think it set him up at that point to win the republican primary and also set him up an implanted the problem that he's likely to have tonight with latino voters and other voters of color. so that speech, that escalator, that moment changed the republican primary and changed the nature of this election. >> that escalator ride was over 500 to that moment. >> wow. >> mark, the historian, will history be kind. >> i don't think history will be kind to the election cycle. what i'm struck by when you look at those, how profoundly different these candidates are. you have the establishment candidate in hillary clinton. no one is surprised that hillary clinton got the nomination and you have the anti-establishment candidate in donald trump.

know he got that. if you don't have a distinct choice, if you don't know who you're choosing when you go to the polls, you haven't been paying attention. >> you know, there's something quite wonderful about that, i mean, this is the consent of the governed. that was always the american experiment and the idea that someone who is totally from the outside with his whole party apparatus against him and all of the conservative intellectuals against him, first of all wins the possibility of being president at thes you something about the american system. >> regardless of the result tonight history will be made in two ways tonight, first it'll be the most diverse electorate we've ever seen in an election in the history of the country and, secondly, no matter if donald trump wins or hillary clinton wins it will be historic. donald trump win, somebody without any political experience and military experience has never got elected president and the first woman president if hillary clinton wins, history will be made tonight in history on both sides. >> and we will be here all night

fusion. the beauty of a well made choice. it is great it see the long lines of voters and we will be here all night long. you're going to be an choring our coverage. >> we'll take a break today. vote. we'll see you tonight. >> let's do it america. >> election day. >> get out and vote. >> vote. >> you got to vote people. >> make your voice heard. >> make your vote count. >> voting can be delicious. >> vote, vote, vote, vote. vote. >> vote, vote. >> come on. verizon and election night watch your vote count live on abc. size of the board of

supporting the change say it would cut costs in the county. kevin kula started circulating the petition a year ago. he believes the board members are overpaid for the amount of work they do. right now, the pay for each supervisor is more than $103,000 dollars. one supervisor says without 5 supervisors, some small towns wouldn't be heard. if voters approve the change, the county would also have to redesign the districts each supervisor would represent, reducing them from 5 to 3. people in marion will vote on a referendum city council members. right now, the city has 3 at large council members and 4 ward council members. but the entire city is allowed to vote for all 7 council members. the proposed change would have people elect 1 member from their own ward, plus the 3 at-large spots. and now here's your first alert forecast. plan on a breezy and cooler election day. clouds should clear the area by 8am at the latest, allowing for sunny sky today. temperatures

back well into the 50s by 2- 3pm. plan on wind speeds anywhere from 10-20 much of the day out of the northwest. through the rest of the week, the sky generally remains clear with highs well into the 50s and 60s as well as lows primarily into the 40s. the next best chance for any measurable rain isn't until at least 7 days from now. have a good election day!today: mostly sunny. wind: nw 10-20. and cooler. wind: n 5-10. low: 34 tomorrow: sunny. wind: nw 5-10. high: 58 tom. night: clear. wind: sw 5-10. low: 37 you're watching kcrg-tv9. now,
