On Tuesday, tens of millions of voters showed up at town halls, churches and high school gymnasiums across the country to cast their ballots.
They joined the more than 80 million Americans who voted early, though the scenes varied by state. In some states, like Texas and New York, many voters were able to get in and out quickly, while in some areas of Michigan and Pennsylvania, some voters waited in long lines. Many states reported high turnout.
Beyond the executive branch, control of the narrowly divided Congress is also at stake, along with ballot measures that include adding abortion-rights protections to state constitutions, legalizing marijuana and ending partisan gerrymandering.
The results began rolling in on Tuesday evening, though the counting of the votes will extend beyond election night, and it could be days before the results of presidential race are finalized.
