Hello and welcome to our rolling coverage of election day. Ninety-eight million Americans have already voted, according to the US elections project, out of what could turn out to be 160m total. That’s 20+% more than voted for the two major party candidates for president in 2016.
Our coverage today will include scenes from the polls, interviews with voters and ultimately, starting in a mere 18 hours or so, results. Most elections analysts don’t anticipate THE result until after midnight, and we might not know for days.
