donald trump on october 8. she says she's leaving it all out on the field. >> alittle bleary eyed this morning? >> you know, yes, and but it was a great experience and getting out, being at the red arrow diner at one in the morning and seeing folks there, it's great to be out through the night, new hampshire, and i love grass roots campaigning, site was fun meeting people a last minute hands. reporter: this is race being watched nationwide and could go down to the wire. for more on senator ayotte's opponent, governor maggie hassan, let's go to jean mackin in the queen city. josh: thanks, adam. we will be watching maggie hassan and her supporters will gather here inside the puritan conference center in manchester tonight. as you can see they're still setting up the room after a long election season. now, this morning the governor and her entire family arrived at

vote. supporters were waiting, chanting her name and holding signs. her husband and son all cast votes. the two-term governor was first elected to the state senate 12 years ago. now she's in one of the most expensive, most watched senate races in the nation, hoping to unseat kelly ayotte and sway the power of the senate to the democrats. >> there's a really clear choice in this election for the united states senate. whr to have a senator in my opponent, senator ayotte, who stands with corporate special interests and her party, or whether we're going to have a new senator with my record of standing for the people of new hampshire. i encourage everybody to get out and vote and i respectfully ask for their vote. reporter: when she cast her vote this morning, she did comment that voter turnout looked good. jean mackin, wmur news 9. josh: thanks very much.

jennifer: if you're driving to the polls tonight, let's get a look at how traffic is out there. 293 in manchester -- we're looking live at wind ham and it's 51 degrees, so you don't have a whole lot.

josh: peggy james joins us with a live look at the road home today. >> hi, i want to remind everyone as you're driving by the polling places, especially now that it dark, to use extra cautions as people are still coming and going. we've got a pocket through the work zone in windham and again in londonderry, but no major issues. 293 looks good top to bottom. things check out okay on 93 through hooksett and concord and points north. 101 has the familiar slowts into bedford. the everett turnpike lots of company in merrimack, but no incidents reported between nashua and bedford. heavy and slow on the spaulding turnpike northbound between exits 2 and 6 out on the seacoast. reports being brought to you by minute man health. from the wzid traffic network, i'm peg peggy james. josh: the roads to the polls have been busy all day long, and this evening not surprisingly

jennifer: andy hershberger is live at manchester's ward one. how do things look there, andy? reporter: well, this is ward one, which is the largest ward in the state's largest city and it has been very, very busy today. you want to take a look behind me, you can see that volume right now is not extraordinarily heavy, but it has been a very, very busy day. we understand that as of just about 15 minutes ago, 4700 votes of the total 6500 ward today. it has been very busy, and it's been that way almost everywhere all day long. in bedford they're expecting a record turnout with more than 85% of registered voters expected to head to the polls. long lines started early but are expected to go late, according to moderator brian shaughnessy. >> it's been a very very strong turnout. at 7:00 this morning when we

there was not a parking place to be had in the whole bedford complex. but within half an hour that was cleared out. reporter: they altered traffic patterns to ease congestion shun and at the polls there was almost one check in spot per letter of the alphabet. >> it's every american's duty. i don't care if you don't care for either one of the candidates, you still come out and vote, it what you've got t do. there's one of the candidates that aligns more with what i believe in and where i want to see our country go. >> i think health care is my most important subject. being 70 plus. it's always an issue for me. reporter: at ward one in manchester there was also a heavy volume of voters for most of the day. by late afternoon, about two-thirds of registered voters had come in, but officials say

record. >> we have a privilege in this country to vote. and i think not doing that is really foolish. and remember, women just got their vote not even 100 years ago. so i'm exercising the privilege of being part of this fantastic country. reporter: one thing we understand from the moderator here at ward one is that there are a lot of pee signed up to vote here at the polls, the line was actually out the door for most of the day. don't know what that means, but a lot of new voters manchester, they expect that the volume will pick up throughout the rest of the evening. so especially around the dinner time hour, which we're in right now. but no real issues to report. everybody seems to be getting in and getting out without much trouble. i'm andy hershberger, wmur news 9. jennifer: thank you. problems at one polling place in manchester, the ballot machine stopped working in ward two this morning. so the city clerk said the machine jammed for about 20 minutes, so voters had to leave

procedure. >> i have to trust that you're going to put them in later and our vote will count? jennifer: by 9:00 a.m. the machine was working again and poll workers started feeding all the ballots into the machine. and now we move to the race for the state's corner office, democrat colin van ostern and republican chris sununu crisscrossing new hampshire today trying to earn any last minute votes. josh: we are live with both campaigns, but let's begin in concord with at headquarters for sununu. reporter: sununu is a third term executive councilor, he launched his bid for the corner office 14 months ago, he says he is glad election day is finally here. sununu waited in a long line in new field this is morning to cast his vote. he said he's never waited in line to vote before and thinks that secretary of state bill gardner's prediction of a record setting turnout is likely

his father a three-term governor in new hampshire in the 80's ask his brother a former senator. sununu says he's not worried about the top of the ticket impacting his outcome tonight. >> the top of the ticket is on federal issues, it's a federal race. new hampshire is on its own, and that we stand true to ourselves, we push back on washington when we need to. i think that's why we've had so much success over the course of this race, people are ready for change in this state. they're r want and do it our own win. reporter: if sununu wins tonight it would put a republican in the corner office for the first time since 2002. the democratic nominee, colin van ostern, another executive councilor, let's head over to shelley walcott in manchester for more on that. shelley: we are here at the radisson hotel in manchester where preps are under way for what people are hoping will be a historic night for democratic gubernatorial candidate colin van ostern. van ostern is a husband, a

the governor's executive council to the governor's office. at only 37 years old he could be one of the youngest people elected governor in new hampshire. van ostern has held management roles at southern new hampshire university and stoney field yogurt. we caught up with him this morning as he voted in concord and he was sounding pretty optimistic. >> you know, i know our national politics have felt like a built a mess recently and feels like we're living in someone else's reality show. and we usually find a good way to make progress, we work together, we've been doing that in the state. we need to take our next step forward, focus on how we can keep more young people and startups here. i've been traveling all around the state and i've been hearing from people how excited they are for our state's future. shelley: and at only 37 years old, if van oh tern wins tonight or even if sununu wins tonight,

country, replacing 44-year-old nicky haley of south carolina. for now, shelley walcott, wmur news 9. jennifer: thank you. some granite staters had the privilege of being the first in the nation to vote today. citizens of dixville much, mills field and hart's location voted at midnight. donald trump had the majority of midnight votes with 32, compared to hillary clintons 25. kelly ayotte was the pick for u.s. lawrence also had victories, and sununu received the most votes for governor. josh: it's well documented that the race for u.s. senate wean the incumbent republican kelly ayotte and governor hassan is easily the most expensive race in state history, the final price tag well north of 100 million when you factor in outside spending, and here's why. current through republicans hold the majority in the senate, but there are 34 seats up for

would need to flip five of those seats, actually four because if clinton wins tim kaine would become the leader of the senate. why is the majority in the senate so important? well, legislative agenda aside, look no further than the supreme court. currently a vacancy since the senate is the body that confirms the president's nomination, republicans refuse to consider president obama's nominee, merrick garland, in homes of getting a more conservative nominee with a trump victory. but given the advancing age of the score justice, the possibility does exist that the next president could nominate as many as three members to the nine-member court, which could have a lasting impact on the constitutional landscape in this country for decades.

mike: a beautiful election day weather wise. as soon as temperatures started to rebound off of these morning loss, it did start off quite cold, down to 21 in berlin. mid 20's in concord, back through plymouth, the upper valley, low to mid 20s in the monadnock region, 30 in downtown manchester. but look at the jump, over 40 degrees above where we started the day in concord. we ended up with a high of 66, only six off t set way way back in 1895. right now we're somewhere in between that chilly morning low and the high of 66, down to 5 a1 in concord, low 40's to the north. on average 50's elsewhere, but cooler right along the immediate coastline. it latest be chilly tonight, not as cold as last night. we'll have a light wind develop, out of the south and a few clouds that move in later tonight. so a clear start to the night

with those clouds slightly cooler temperatures, but still at or a couple of degrees above the average. with the cloud cover a couple of scattered showers as well. you see them trying to hold together in and around toronto, points south and west. this front will move right on top us tomorrow morning and early afternoon, giving us a chance of a couple of scattered showers. but you'll see here on future cast, very little rain in terms of how much we're going to get, a tenth of an inch at most in a few spots. other areas maybe just here or there, with a couple of widely scattered showers. then it clears out later tomorrow night, full sunshine for many on thursday, although there could be a few high clouds during the course of the afternoon. and beyond that things are looking up, in terms of more sun on friday after an isolated shower, but very chilly, to start the weekend before it warms sunday and monday. jennifer: thank you. a former red sox pitcher drawing a curve ball into one race for governor. josh: why space man, bill lee,

being called for months. jennifer: and no major issues reported at the polls today, but there have been some hickups,

jennifer: one winner of new hampshire's first in the nation

senator bernie sanders says he's hoping for a big turnout around the country, even though sanders lost the democratic nomination to hillary clinton he has spent this leadup to election day campaigning on her behalf. josh: remember this guy, former red sox pitcher bill lee is running as a candidate for governor in vermont, as a member of the liberty union party. he's not expected to win, but he could pick up enough votes to keep the democratic and republican candidates from getting a majority. if that happens, that means the race would be decided by the vermont legislature in and many voters in massachusetts have already cast their ballots. jennifer: this was the first year the state had had early voting, so more than 100 people cast their ballots before today. massachusetts voters are weighing in on several issues including legalizing recreational marijuana, expanding charters schools and expanding slot machine game l. voters in maine will also decide if the state will legalize marijuana use. both of new hampshire's congressional races are in play on this election day.

straight ahead. jennifer: right now police are looking for the thieves who took off with thousands of dollars worth of long ray.

but two hours until the polls close durham has logged 7900 ballots cast there so far. jennifer: let's see how things are playing out around the rest of the country today. diane roberts is in washington now. reporter: donald trump's campaign has already filed an election day lawsuit, alleging polling place anomalies during early voting last week. and a judge has already denied that order. the lawsuit was asking that records from four early voting spots be impounded and saved. stayed open too late. the polling sites stayed open because of long lines, and at one site the last voter cast a ballot after 10:00 p.m. the clinton campaign is calling this a frivolous lawsuit. meanwhile, problems have popped up at several states today including north carolina, florida, pennsylvania and utah. like in durham county, north carolina, where a glitch in the electronic voter check in system required a switch to paper roll books. or in new york city, where

caused backups and delays. these reports come as many precincts all over the country report long lines to vote. 90 million people were expected to vote this year. in washington, diane roberts, wmur news 9. josh: in the battle ground state of florida we've just learned that two election clerks have been fired. officials say the broward county clerks were fired because they did not, quote, work to the level of integrity they were trained to. they are accused of not adhering to procedures, but officials actually violated. social media has no doubt changed the campaigns, but it's also helping people know when to vote. goffstown police have been tweeting updates all day about how long the lines were. around 2:00 the wait at the high school was less than two minutes. jennifer: that's helpful. josh: now to the first congressional district where is there a three-way race between two familiar faces and a political newcomer. jennifer: we begin our coverage

incumbent representative frank guinta will be watching the election results come in. reporter: we are at murphy's tap room on elm street. frank guinta hopes this will be the setting for another victory in the first congressional district. the republican has been visiting polling location as cross the district today including webster school in manchester, to earn every last vote. he's held the first c.d. seat for the past three terms and is asking voters for their support again. guinta says he's been able to deliver a way that others haven't, working independently on the issues that matter to new hampshire. he says his private and public sector background make him qualified to go back to washington and work on behalf of granite staters. >> well, i think people will focus on the leadership that i've demonstrated over the last couple years, getting six pieces of legislation signed into law, cheering the opiate and

families. reporter: so tonight guinta is hoping the for more good news in the city he was once the mayor of. he knows that voters will have the final say but is feeling optimistic. mike cronin. josh: an independent first congressional candidate sean o'connor has been visiting polling places from goffstown to laconia, we caught up with him in portsmouth, he says he's feeling good about what he call is a positive alternative in this race. >> when we stopped for lunch people were coming up and shaking my we've got the momentum and we're really excited about where we stand. josh: the democratic candidate, former congresswoman carol shea porter, hopes to reclaim her seat tonight. jennifer crompton live in portsmouth with her campaign. reporter: this marks the sixth time carol shea porter has run in the first congressional district, a seat she held for three terms. the 63-year-old from rochester hit the polls today, she served two terms in congress starting

again. she hit the polls today hoping sean o'connor isn't a spoiler for some of that democratic support. she calls new hampshire's first district voters smart and well informed and hopes her message of restoring the american dream is resonating. >> i feel great. i love election day. granny d. used to say democracy is not something we have, it's something we do. showing up. reporter: we are here at the portsmouth harbor arts events center for the duration. live in portsmouth, jennifer crompton, wmur news 9. josh: now to the second congressional district where incumbent democrat annie kuster is trying to become the first democratter to serve three terms there. her opponent jim lawrence trying to stop that from happening. jennifer: let's begin with kristen carosa live in concord

what she's seeing and feels as though she'll walk away with a win tonight. we caught up with her this morning at hopkinton high school, he's the u.s. represent five the second congressional district, running for her third term. she says she's proud of the work she's done so far in fighting the drug problem in our state. kuster founded a bipartisan drug task force to combat the opioid epidemic, she says she brought together 85 members of congress both democrats and republicans to work on the issue. something she working on across the aisle. >> look, we've got work to do that's not partisan. heroin and equal pay and paid family leave, these are not partisan issues, these are people issues. this is about people's real lives. reporter: the voters of new hampshire will decide if that work continues, we'll have to wait and see what happens. for now let's send it over to jim lawrence headquarters, where

jim lawrence told me earlier today he's keeping a positive outlook on this election day. he's still feel the rush of speaking before voters at donald trump's rally last night in manchester. he says this campaign has been all about getting the issues before the voters of new hampshire. the republican candidate for second congressional district says his competitor has not fought for granite staters, and that's something he intends on changing. he spent today greeting voters at six different polling places in the district. while lawrence currently hold office, he did serve as a state representative for three terms. he now owns a consulting business in nashua, but says he wants to go to washington to support fiscal responsibility and continue battling terrorists overseas. >> i'm running in a large part for the future of america, to make sure that we really address the critical issues of our national debt, $20 trillion national debt, dealing with getting our economy moving forward and keeping us safe from

mitigate. she needs to do very well there if not win it, come very close. even though it's democratic. the city that might be the well weather for the state because it's evenly matched in terms of democrats and republicans is rochester, stratford county. watch rochester as well, very big. derry, republican town but blue collar. so will it go democratic? will it go for trump? could it be a big place donald trump. in the past it's gone both ways in terms of republican and democratic. and then claremont which is a democratic city, but it's a very blue collar democratic city. and as our own adam sexton has reported, there are a lot of trump signs up there, so this could be a big one for donald trump. i go into more detail on this on a story at wmur.com, and i invite everyone to take a look at it. josh: all right, thanks very

much more ahead on news 9 at 5:00 including the perks at work for many people on this election day. jennifer: also a new owner for this now closed nuclear plant, why this could restore the new england site decades earlier than expected. mike: a little taste of spring in parts of the state, 60's for some, but when does it start to cool back down? the timeline ahead. >> nice to see it busy, i'm glad that people are

for your vote. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. donald trump: i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? and you can tell them to go f--- themselves! s blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever... you gotta see this guy. ahh, i don't know what i said, ahh.
