here's where the votes stand. in florida, 95% of the votes is in. donald trump still maintains an impressive 105,000 vote lead over hillary clinton, 5% of the vote outstanding 29 electoral streets, trump ahead in florida. in north carolina, 81% of the vote is in. trump maintains an impressive 114,000 vote lead, over hillary clinton, 15 electoral votes. trump ahead in north carolina. in ohio, 67% of the vote is n donald trump has a very impressive, almost 400,000 vote lead over hillary clinton. 18 electoral votes at stake in ohio. in virginia, 83% of the vote is in, hillary clinton all the sudden has taken a lead, 15,456 vote lead over donald trump, 83% of the vote is in. 13 electoral votes in virginia. hillary clinton ahead there. let's go to georgia. right now, in the state of georgia, almost half of the vote is in, donald trump here, too, he has a very impressive lead, 365,000 vote lead over hillary clinton, 16 important electoral votes at stake in georgia right now. in colorado, 53, more than half of the vote is in, hillary clinton has a lead ben

votes. a huge win in california for hillary clinton. she will also carry hawaii with its four electoral votes. hillary clinton wins in hawaii. donald trump, he also has a win. donald trump will win in idaho with its four electoral votes. another win for donald trump in idaho. all right. let's take a look at the electoral college map now with these oregon and washington state by the way. too early to call, oregon and washington state. now let's take a look at the electoral college map. hillary clinton has gone ahead with 190 electoral votes to donald trump's 171 electoral votes. 270 needed to win the white house. hillary clinton is now ahead in the all-important electoral college map count. are they breathing a little bit easier over there at clinton headquarters? >> i don't think so, to be completely honest. at some point, in this night, as we watch the returns come in from states such as wisconsin and michigan, the clinton headquarters was very confident that they had -- that was their fire

votes, and wyoming with its three electoral votes. donald trump wins those three. donald trump wins some more states. three more, he will carry north dakota, with its three electoral votes, and south dakota with its three electoral votes. donald trump carries those states as well. donald trump carrying some more states. let's take a look at the states where it's too early to call right now. these are the states where the polls have closed, but we're not able to make any projections. arizona, colorado, louisiana, michigan, minnesota, new mexico, texas, and wisconsin. no projections yet. here's the electoral map, as it stands right now. and hillary clinton has 97 electoral votes. donald trump has 84 electoral votes. remember, 270, that's the magic number you need to be elected president of the united states. you can see the map over there, the blue states are the states that hillary clinton has won. the red states are the states that donald trump has won. all those yellow states, all those yellow states are states where the polls have c

democratic votes here. democratic votes in the population center.s this year. going back in time. democratic votes here. democratic votes here. mostly republican up here. was 50-49. four years ago. get ready. 48.9 to 48.2 so far this year. fascinating to watch. the population centers. orange county is orlando. out west tampa, hillsboro county. 53-43. ten points there. -- seven points there. she's running a little ahead in hillsboro. but then it here and you have 49.8% to 46% here as you go out and look at it here. so it is just remarkably tight as we go through. both over 3 million votes now. up to 71%. so the vote count coming in very quickly in florida. that is the biggest lead we've seen in the state so far for hillary clinton. and i'll put the emphasis on "so far" and we'll keep counting. >> a real battle in florida. only moments from the biggest wave of poll closes in the presidential race. counting down to the top of the hour, 8:00 p.m. eastern is when the last polling grounds close in florida, pennsylvania and new hampshire. also in alabama,

no, to vote you don't get to vote no., people don't use coercive force seems like an argument more about ballot initiatives that we should be making x illegal yes or no, no, we should not make it illegal would not violate my principles, but it does not apply to candidates or anyone who has a chance of winning because they may have some things we think our libertarian, but they will do lots of things better not with like an abdication of force. also, my sense is that people take voting on seriously, so writing in mickey mouse or a pretend candidate or writing in -- >> vermin supreme. >> at least as offensive and offputting as abstaining from voting. >> is it just going to the booth that you require of me to not think i'm a weirdo? i go to the booth and-- >> leave the ballot blank? >> or leave it blank, is that more the better? >> and we have a yes or no and then maybe move on. >> i'm not sure it's a yes or no >> just go to the ballot box and cast a blank ballot to-- to satisfy the requirement? >> benefits signaling. >> the

every vote counts. >> are you going to vote? >> yes, i am. >> reporter: a message cecil weeks has taken to heart in a surprising way. >> who are you going to vote for? >> jill stein. >> do you support jill stein? >> i support hillary. >> reporter: cecil is putting democracy's most precious gift, >> why are you voting for jill stein? >> i can help third-party supporters legitimize third parties by voting for their candidate in my safe blue state of new york, and they can help me out in a swing state and vote for hillary clinton. >> good spirit and trust? >> reporter: it's called vote swapping with the help of an app called #nevertrump, cecil will vote for jill stein in new york, his swap partner says she'll vote for bigger difference than i than in new york. >> reporter: for the race for the white house neck and neck in some states -- >> a four-point race -- >> reporter: third-party candidates have the potential to sway the outcome. and so vote-swapping options like never trump, trump traders.org, and vote pact.org, help some vot

votes. you need 270 to win the white house. there are yellow states that are outstanding right now. we'll see what happens in those state states. you saw the mood at those respective campaign headquarters, jake. it's a very different mood. >> yeah, her path is narrowing on the board. let's take another look at what's going on with dow futures. the market is now down with dow futures. it's down 4.32%. we should point out after brexit, which is an event that donald trump likes to invoke talking about the unexpected nature of that vote and what was going to happen with his election, after brexit, the dow went down 3.4%. if this holds, this will be the biggest loss since the day after -- since the day trading resumed after 9/11. this is a day that the markets are not particularly enjoying. unsure about the future of the u.s., unsure about the trade deals and the economy of the u.s. >> when people voted to leave the european union, it was a stunning surprise to so many pollsters and others. dana,

my vote doesn't matter and your vote or not vote doesn't matter. let's agree both are symbolic. you can vote for the candidate you enjoy and feel like you are doing your duty and i don't buy not voting but it's important for me to stand up and remind people what's wrong with voting on the things we do. if there was a referendum on a national haircut and we started having a discussion about whether or not you're going to get the hippie or the marine and people started coming out and saying make your voice heard, don't you believe in democracy, somebody has to stand up and say we do not vote about these things loudly and without shame and honestly. thank you. [applause] thank you to both sides. i will now be asking each side questions. i will alternate from one side to the other. however i will tolerate some impromptu cross-examination and back and forth because i think that's healthy, and i trust my colleagues hear me sufficiently to respect my authority. first question is on the negative side. i can imagine your arguments making the opponents very, very happy. if you don't vote,

your vote doesn't matter my non vote does not matter. you can vote for the candidate that you enjoyed you feel like your doing your duty and i don't. but to remind people if there was a national referendum restarted to have a discussion the people started to come out to say make your voice heard but assigning your yard. someone has to stand up to say we don't post loudly and without shame or honesty. [applause] >> thanks to both sides now alaska each side questions i will alternate from one side to the other i will however will do some impromptu cross-examination to go back and forth fighting colleagues hear me sufficiently to respect my authority laugh laugh so first the negative side. i can imagine your argument to make libertarian is a very happy it is that much less if libertarian so what do you say to that quick. >> if i personally do not vote there is a way to figure how the median voter actually changes. now he tries to convert that into a question of voting matters which we are resisting. that it is not wrong for libertarians to

voting. and really what's fueling this, honestly somewhat surprising 8% margin for secretary clinton is the fact that she's performing incredibly strongly with registered republican voters. so what we're seeing in this survey is secretary clinton is winning 28% of registered republicans who have already cast a ballot in florida. that's a pretty substantial universe. >> tom, let me stop you right there. you're going to have to say that sentence again, because the political media out there is taking notes right now. that is a stunning figure that you just announced. >> it is. 28% of republican early voters in florida voting for hillary clinton. >> that's right. so this includes voters who have voted by mail, absentee voters who tend to trend more republican and voters who have early voted in person, tend to trend more democratic. but that said, keep in mind, we're talking about only voters who are registered republicans, and 28% of those voters are crossing over and voting for secretary clinton

votes now. it just shrunk a bit. >> did. and when you phil tfill the map here you can expect donald trump to make up ground. the challenge is smaller counties. not much in that county there. 92% of the vote in here and not that many votes. so that is one of the things we'll watch. it's what's missing. in the smaller counties there is only so much math you can make up. going down to the wire in a nail biter. osceola county. 1.4 o of the state population but it is in that important i-4 corridor. the clinton people in the age of big data you know what you need. you know how many registered voters. you have an expectation of turnout and run the computer models and run the lists and turn out your voters and if you get to a number where you are happy. 63% there. back in time. 62%. if you are the clinton campaign, outperforming barack obama you think it is enough. bull pen y but you want to get the democrats out and in most places they are doing that. now this is a bit of a down for secretary clinton.

arizona, 65% of the vote is in. in maine, 76% of the vote is in. that's still considered too close to call. hillary clinton appears to be leading in maine. so it's four electoral votes. arizona, 11. new hampshire, 4 electoral votes. the bigger ones, the double-digits, minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvani pennsylvania, with pennsylvania being the biggest one there. >> you look at the map with the exception of arizona, longitudinally -- >> got it. >> i cheated myself on a syllable that first time. you could make an argument that it's all up there in the same area. let's take a break, see if we can get any finer reporting on either headquarters. the map has not changed since our call of nevada for hillary clinton. there is trump headquarters. sixth avenue, new york city, the new york hilton hotel. across town, a different picture at the javits center, clinton headquarters. we're back with more right after this. >> we are back. there is clinton headquarters inside the cavernous jacob javits center. much had been made of the fact that the ceiling

he now has 247 votes. hillary clinton has 215 votes.is getting closer and closer to that number of 270. let's do a key race alert right now. all right. let's start off with the states that are still outstanding. we'll start off in michigan where 84% of the vote is now in. trump has a nearly 80,000-vote lead in the state of michigan which right there has 16 electoral votes. michigan, we're waiting for more votes. wisconsin, 89% of the vote is in. trump also has a pretty impressive lead. 86,000 vote-lead over hillary clinton. another 10 electoral votes right there. arizona, 66% of the vote is in. trump has a 62,000-vote lead over hillary clinton. 11 electoral votes at stake in arizona. he is ahead. in pennsylvania he is ahead as well. 97% of the vote is in. that's a healthy number. he is ahead by almost 77,000 votes over hillary clinton. pennsylvania alone has 20 electoral votes. trump is ahead at this late stage right there. let's take a look at the remaining outstanding states. new hampshire 87% of the vote is in. hillary clinton has th

i voted. i finally voted. it was really good. >> it makes me so happy to see these young people have the motivation to get out and vote. because they are our future. >> teachers and volunteers helped register 70 students develop. they hope it will inspire teens to make their voices heard for years to come. >>> with just six days before election day, both candidates will tell you every vote counts. the push to get the millennial vote is perhaps more intense than ever. we caught up with some young voters out to support hillary clinton. >> we are proud that they are out exercising their rights to vote. they're getting involved in the process. you can't ask for anything better than that. to reach out to young voters. i can you had a chance to meet hillary clinton before the rally. >> she has the apathetic millennials of people that there of decision will affect them. you have people, what a time to be alive and be in college. >> to the time when there's so much information that can sometimes leave voters confused.

vote. i would say there are two catholic votes and have been for some time. as hispanic population has grown, it has changed the face of the catholic church. ofk in the 1990's, the ratio white-nonwhite catholics was two to one. what is remarkable about this is while catholics have a lean toward republican candidates, hispanic catholics have become to be supportive of the democratic cap -- democratic candidates. 84% supporting hillary clinton to 12% supporting donald trump. there is this great divide running along ethnic lines within the catholic church. host: what could that mean for next week in the battleground states? mr. jones: where will see this showing up, new battleground states -- arizona, nevada, places where hispanic catholics outnumber white catholics. historically, hispanic catholics -- lower legislation and turnout rates. we will have to wait and see. we have some sense that hispanic registrations are of. robert jones, ceo of the public religion research institute. thank you,

a market, a latino market in las hours to vote to cast a vote. we saw a really strong ground game from the clinton campaign in states like nevada and one number that jumps out at me as we headed into election day, the clinton campaign says early voting started, knocked on and made phone calls, they contacted 45 million people. this is a well oiled very well paid for machine that they've got going into this election day and they're banking on that right now. especially in states like nevada. >> bankingn in florida, but boy -- >> i don't know, george. look at this. it's still very close. donald trump with 130,000-plus vote lead and i've been talking a lot about broward county, just north of miami. look what's happening there. 98% of the vote is in. and donald trump still has a big lead in the state of florida. it looks to me like he is trending towards winning the state of florida. >> tom llamas, what are they saying in the trump war room? the trump campaign is sending out more and more photos of thumb's up, donald trump smiling inside that room. i

they have seen with the votes are and where the votes aren't. they are making decisions based on their metrics. the box news channel, the fox business networks, fox news radio, foxnews.com have not the electoral votes should be given to donald trump or hillary clinton. we are frankly not there yet. we will get there eventually, the numbers will find their place. we will find out who the votes belong to. who will have them, then we will get them to them. findot belong to. who will have them, then we will get them to them. that will be that. we're not there yet. >> trump could speak before we have the numbers. it really sounds from the clinton campaign like they are going to be recounts. it's going to drag this out. >> they are going to sleep on it. >> like you said. it makes for an awkward week. trump can try to tie it up tonight. unless he gets a solid numbers, he can't accept victory. things about how it looks like he is going to continue running. >> you want to bet? speak on sure he will say hillary is asleep. he loves to say that. >> he does

>> get out and vote, vote, vote! >> america's best days are still ahead of us. >> we are going to drain the swamp of corruption. >> let's go out and prove love trump hate. headquarters in new york. with us tonight are john dickerson and charlie rose. gayle king and bob schieffer. and elaine quijano. the nastiest presidential campaign in our lifetimes has finally come to an end. more than four out of five voters told us they were disgusted by it. >> reporter: that's right, and tonight voters are deciding whether the 45th president of the united states will be the first woman to hold the office, that is 69-year-old democrat hillary clinton, the former secretary of sne or 70-year-old donald trump, the new york businessman and former reality tv star, making his first run for oafs. office. i think everybody knows who the candidates are. they have both had historically high disapproval ratings, above 50%. >> pelley: voters are also deciding which party will control congress. will the republicans hold on to both the house a

every vote counts. going to vote? >> yes, i am. >> reporter: it's a message taken to heart, but in a surprising way. >> i'm voting for jill stein. do you support her? >> i support hill ri. >> reporter: putting democracy's precious gift, his vote, in the hands of a complete stranger. >> reporter: why? >> i can help third party they help me out in a swing state and vote for hillary clinton. >> reporter: good spirit and trust? >> yes. >> reporter: vote swapping with the help of an app, he'll vote for third party candidate jill stein in new york while his swap partner says she'll vote for clip ton in arizona. >> feel like i making a bigger difference than i can in new york. >> reporter: so vote swapping options like never trump, trump redefine how their vote counts. seems hard to believe, but vote swapping is actually legal. it's not a new idea. maryland state senator proposed vote swapping back in 2000 to help green party candidate ralph nader get enough of the popular vote without taking votes from al gore. vote swappin

a record number of americans have already voted more than 25 million votes. twice as many vote also as this time in the last presidential election. our battleground map shows clinton with 274 electoral votes in her column. that's more than the 270 needed of course. and donald trump is at 180. our political editor mark murray will be back with me to talk about the changes in the map you see on your screen. a new polls out this morning shows a dead heat nationally. hillary clinton and donald trump tied at 46%. after trump had a one-point lead in that same poll yesterday. they're now back neck and neck. today's poll was taken entirely after friday's surprise announcement from fbi director james comey about those e-mails discovered on a computer belonging to former congressman anthony wiener. here's where the candidates and their surrogates are today. donald trump will hold three rallies today in florida where the latest polls show, as i mentioned that dead heat. hillary clinton has events in arizona. trump's running mate pence in arizona, new mexico and colorado

vote."the co-author of "reflecting all of us: the case for proportional representation." ok, rob, explain. >> thank you, amy, great to be on the program on election day, which is an exciting one for all of us. it is particularly exciting in a couple of ways. glad you brought up the m,aine measure for ranked choice voting. i think it is well-positioned to win today. what would mean in maine in 2018 is voters in a field where they have more than two choices could do both -- vote for whom they like you will also making sure their vote does the most they can to help defeat the candidate they most dislike. that is what you can do by ranking candidate in order of choice. it is been a great effort push there. a remarkable grassroots effort for the got more than half they needed in a single day in 2014. house parties and events all over the state of people seem to like it. i think that's something the whole country can move to in the coming years. then, we have the electoral college system. thank yo

ballots, early voting, electronic voting, internet voting. the expectation there will be a 100 million americans in line today to cast their votes through machines and on paper. all of that will be known tonight. and we will elect the next president of the united states. 33 members of the u.s. senate, 435 members of the u.s. house of representatives, numerous governors and i think a majority of members of the state legislatures. and on behalf of all that energy and on behalf of ifis i would like to welcome you to our 13th u.s. election program. this program started under my distinguished predecessor, richard suderet in 1992 when the diplomatic community came to him and said, we need somebody to talk to the local election officials so we diplomats can go around and witness american voting. and then in 1994 he had the bright idea of welcoming people from election commissions in parliaments where ifis had projects. and now by 2016, we have no room for diplomats. we have over 200 leaders from election management bodies around the world. we have o

from voting." the petition was signed by several chronic green party members and supporters, including margaret flowers, your former advisor kevin b, green party vice presidential candidate rosa clemente, and feel it's of prize-winning journalist chris hedges. your running mate did not sign the petition, but h has come out against the recount. to respond to this criticism? >> yes. the green party has many things to do and many people are not enthusiastic about verified voting, about election integrity . the green party has a broad set of commitment, including commit -- continuing thehe momentum and grasassroots organizing that cae out of the campaign. i am grateful that many people are continuing to do that and that is their priority. i, myself, have great ambivalence about moving forward with thihis. in 2006, iran for secretary of state here in my home state of massachusetts. i had a long-standing commitment to voting integrity. it is not just counting votes in getting rid of the very problematic

okay. 132,000 votes. now, you just heard talking about broward county, big population center, big democratic county. there is still vote out in broward, especially. let me show you, though, this looks like the early vote that's in. we say only the early vote is in. the total vote for democrats, the problem is that the total vote in this county was about 750,000. so you can do the math. yeah, there is same-day vote out, but same-day vote isn't what it used to be. most of the vote is early vote. we don't know exactly what the turnout is going to be today. they could shatter what they saw in 2012 and squeeze even more out of it, but most of the vote is in there so hillary clinton clearly running at a clip like that, 69% or so give or take is going to make up a lot of ground. there is also, though, outstanding vote in republican areas. i think if i'm seeing this right, the biggest area of the state, the biggest republican area of the state where there's still outstanding vote is right here, marion county. so

you can tweet i voted.. my vote 2016... or election day.. to unlock the special ballot box donald trump tweeted earlier this morning-- today we make america great again... hillary clinton tweeted "don't stand still, vote today. both candidates have fought hard for your vote... fox news' lauren blanchard joins us now from new york with how both campaigns wrapped up. trump says: "and massachusetts is trump says: "and massachusetts is represented by pocahontas, right?" / "oh, she's terrible." donald trump making controversial comments about democratic senator elizabeth warren... while in new hampshire yesterday. obama says: "anyone who sees women as objects, minorities and immigrants as inferior, other faiths as presumptively un- american cannot hearted country that we love." trump is on the offense... with both candidates campaigning in the historically democratic states of pennsylvania and michigan. williams says: "they are thinking about holding that so called blue wall, which is states that have traditionally voted democratic." hillary clin

vote. so, the national polls not far off. but every single state poll, most of them done by the hillary campaign. >> it's not just the public polls. we reported with the democratic, republican, senate campaigns. almost everyone said, it was almost impossible. the trump side had a route, but they thought it was almost impossible to win in the last 48 hours, and now he's about to. >> nobody had the data that was right. the question is, is there any way to have gotten this right? the proportion of noncollege white men, they got the sample right. it's the proportion saying they voted for trump that was wrong. is it socially unacceptable to say you voted for donald trump? you can fix sampling error, but you can't fix that. >> alex? if you thought that you didn't have a phone or a television set. john kerry, george bush, 2004, the exit polls had kerry winning by six, he lost by two. >> stephanie? >> well, the polls for kerry were wrong, but not the internal data. we were pretty darn close. i want

did you vote for pm vote. >> why?the scandals everything i didn't think i had a good account to choose. >> a registered rep are upper telling me you are okay with hillary clinton being next president then? >> i know i think neither are good candidates i couldn't vote 3w5i67bd that. >> john perry. >> who did you vote for who will you vote for. >> going to vote for donald trump. >> why? >> stronger, for conservatives supreme court justices, strong military. >> do you thigh he can win yes, i do, we've got two republicans here one sustaining the other one for donald trump we've got to leave it there thanks from wisconsin talk to you later. >> that is incredible thank you so much, wow -- he abstained from president vote. >> i don't understand that. >> voted for other candidacy. >> john -- he said. >> kelly -- ayotte, and -- casie i kasich voted mccain. >> listen -- >> -- kasich sticking his -- >> the some biggest republicans out there kind of -- >> -- a republican last i checked hillary clinton could be light a -- homeless

to vote. the world looks to us as a progressive country that leads change. eight years ago, i was so inspired to know my nephew, a young black child, could grow up knowing his dream could be realized by witnessing a black president in office. [cheers] and now we have the opportunity to create more change. i want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and know that her possibilities are limitless. amy: meanwhile, donald trump is accusing democrats of voter fraud, claiming the late opening of a voting site in a latino neighborhood of las vegas due to long lines pointed to a "rigged system." mr. trump: it is being reported that certain key democratic polling locations in clark county were kept open for hours to hours beyond closing time bus and bring democratic voters in. folks, it is a rigged system. it is a rigged system and we are to be good. amy: trump's remarks come after several key court decisions this weekend around voting rights. on saturday, the u.s. supreme court restor

than two million votes. he has 49% of the popular vote to hillary clinton's 46%. >> let's take a look at the state of new hampshire. new hampshire had al gore one, new hampshire he would have won the presidency. new hampshire is a small number of electoral votes that could be critical tonight. look at this. we're calling this a toss up state 47 to 47%. there of the vote there. >> we need to interrupt because cbs news is estimating that in the state of utah, donald trump is the winner. in the state of oregon we are predicting that hillary clinton will be the victor at the end of the night. so we should go back to our electoral vote board and show you where things stand right with 193. 270 needed to win and now it is coming down of course to these battle ground states, like florida. assignor awas norah was saying,w hampshire, pennsylvania, wisconsin, minnesota, just too close to call right now. >> major garrett has been talking with his forces believe at this hour is their pathway to victory. major. >> we have

voting machines.s shouldn't affect the tabulation, we're told, but when people arrive, how they're checked in. they've switched to these polling books which sound exactly like what they are. books with the names and lists of voters in that precinct and their names can be checked off when they show up. we've heard from the president of the state branch of the naacp, dr. william barber, this created long lines in durham county and some walked away. the naacp has attorneys, lawyers watching this and asking that justice department monitors in north carolina but in other counties to come to durham, to durham county making sure voters are able to vote. why is durham so important here? we know out of the 230,000 or so registered voters there, democrats outnumber republicans about 5-1. so that's why we know that they're watching closely here. in wake county, at this precinct, 1310, the shortest we've seen the line all day, with just a few people in line, but there had been hundreds of people with more than an

to an early voting push. democrats are convinced will deliver them the battleground states they need. we have reporters across the battle grounds from coast to coast. from north carolina to florida to michigan. first i want to get straight to the decision desk. cnn editor has some new early voting numbers in from two key western states. arizona and nevada. what are we learning. >> well, as you said, we look at the national number right now, nearly 37 million people in 39 states have already cast ballot before election day. as you say two key states out west, arizona where we saw hillary clinton and tim kaine this week campaigning about 1.5 million people have already cast votes. despite being out there and campaigning, if we look at where the numbers are at this point, not so good for democrats at this point. we have a republican edge by about 90,000 ballots returned. this is on par to what republicans were doing back in 2012 when mitt romney won the state by nine points and picked up the 11 electoral votes t

so vote yes on 55.t helps our children thrive. >>> in the next few hours, we know that in early voting turnout there's high numbers in many states. >> our early voting numbers show that voting among hiss pan irks in florida up 89%. what's motivating them. >> it's more than 89%. if you include those who voted absentee ballot, it's over 120%. what's motivating them, you've been hearing it all night on your show. it's the trump effect. it's knowing when you get attacked, you have a powerful weapon to defend yourself, that's one of the things that's been motivating latinos, to become citizens, to register to vote and actually show up at the polls, that's what we've seen today in florida and nevada, all over the country. now we have to wait and see what's happening tomorrow. >> if you talk to a trump surrogate or even donald trump, they will tell you, and he will tell you, he believes hispanics are going to come out to support him tomorrow and are supporting him in early voting. >> let me tell you, i think t

trump got two votes, libertarian nominee, earned a write-in vote. two more small towns in new hampshire voted soon after dixville notch. in both towns donald trump won. ben, we'll see what happens later today. >> tim, thank you. ben: stay with wisn 12 all day for full election coverage. we're partnering with the power of abc news to bring you the latest results. our special election coverage begins at 4:00 p.m. and continues all night long. wisn 12 news time is 35 other local headlines. melinda: milwaukee police are asking for your help finding a hit and run driver. five-year-old rickyia langham killed near hampton and fond du lac on sunday. the driver left the scene. now police have released surveillance footage. they're asking anyone who recognizes this vehicle to come forward. there's a vigil honoring rickyia planned for tonight. ben: police are investigating after a woman was hit and killed by a car on the north side of milwaukee. this happened last night near 60th and norwich. crossing the street at the time. the driver is cooperating with poli

that you vote. craig? >> someone voted for mitt romney there, huh? >> reporter: that's right. that's right. and you know, this is not only the only important race we have here in new hampshire, a senate race that is extremely important, craig. we have two women that are very popular. very capable. and why this race is so important is this could help determine which party takes control of the senate. >> kelly ayotte. new hampshire, thank you. chris jansing standing by for us in cleveland, ohio. home, of course, of the basketball champs, also of chris jansing. ohio, historically consequential swing state. what can we expect today? >> reporter: a lot of activity from both campaigns because that's how close it is here. this, where i'm standing, cleveland, ohio, cuyahoga is the epicenter of hillary clinton because of the heavy african-american vote. i would not say overwhelming. that's a problem for her. early voting a problem for her. down 16% in the county. 22% in the city of cleveland and so she reall

in florida so far that early vote astounding. 200,000 more hispanics have voted by friday than voted in the entire last election, but what is trump's best path now? >> he's got two paths that i single one of the toss-up states, so all of them. he runs the take on the toss-up states. even there he comes up short. he wins the state of nevada, gets to 269-269. then he needs to win the single congressional district, the second congressional district up in maine. that is one path that would get him to 270. the other path he has is, again, to win every single one of the toss-up states and pick off one of those states in the industrial midwest, for instance, if he takes pennsylvania, that would get him to where he needs, but, again, to do that he still needs to win every single toss-up state. >> jon karl, thanks very much. >>> and we are joined by the chair of the clinton campaign, john podesta. john, thanks for joining us this morning. you saw our poll, five-point lead this morning. where do you see the race? >> well, look, we feel pretty good, george, but we're leaving nothing to chance.

not voting this year? i am not voting. to the best of the worst. i am originally from cleveland. convention, irnc have watched hillary clinton try to go back and make a bigger convention one really, if you go blocks from where the convention is held, it is the project. -- the projects. the things they are speaking about, i do not expect a presidential candidate to be error-free. as far as getting a black vote, i do not feel that you wait until the week before the calls open to try to reach out for us. that is why we like bernie sanders. bernie sanders spoke on the issues that we felt economically and how we feel oppressed, he was tapping on that. hillary wanted to avoid the whole racial issue when it is clearly a problem. to give a song and dance? there are way more issues. i like how donald trump said he wants to rebuild inner cities, but how? donald trump speaks of, we want new airplanes or this big wall. how will you pay for all of that? you know? and hillary clinton, you know, black people loved bill clinton. camewhen
