The long campaign season has finally come to an end. Time to take a look at the presidential election results. Who will win?
Today is the last day to vote. Today is the day we’ll find out whether we’ve elected Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to the highest office in the United States: the presidency.
Polls start closing at 6 PM ET.
Other polls won’t close until 1 AM ET tomorrow morning, thanks to Alaska. However, the race may very well be effectively over as soon as Florida’s results are announced and called (though Florida’s been known to resist being called quickly).
Below, you can find updates from Election Day, including videos and more.
2:06 AM ET:
CBS projects Hillary Clinton has won 3 of Maine’s 4 electoral votes.
John Podesta, campaign chair for Hillary Clinton, has just said that they will not concede tonight but urges everyone at the Javits Center to go home. On that note, we will be closing the live blog down for the night.
As our live tweet said: Tomorrow is another day, and we will stand together.
Good night.
1:46 AM ET:
Chris Hayes of MSNBC predicts that Hillary Clinton will likely win the popular vote.
