Donald Trump Jr. Rallies Supporters In Final Push To The Polls

Thanks to massive amounts of voters showing up early, we already have some idea what the turnout and results could consist of once the final votes are tabulated.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Republican nominee Donald Trump has been publicly accused of sexually assaulting women, which could drive more women to the polls.

Early voting is surging in Arizona, normally a Republican state but one that Clinton has targeted.

Much legal attention has been paid to the nature of the identification card and what the state should do for folks that do not have and can not get an ID.
