Officials brace for chaotic day of voting
State leaders, voting experts and advocates are concerned about long lines and voter intimidation as ballots are cast Tuesday in the historically bitter presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Clinton and Trump make emotional final appeals
Hillary Clinton cast the election as "the test of our time" while Donald Trump said that on Tuesday, "the American working class will strike back."
 
'Secret' Facebook group is home of Clinton's biggest fans
"Pantsuit Nation" started about two weeks ago. It now has nearly 2 million members.

Anti-Trump disabled boy booed at rally. Then he met Obama.
JJ Holmes said about the Trump event, "I wanted to go because Donald J. Trump made fun of disabled people."
 
What one swing state can teach us about political polarization
North Carolina's electorate, facing multiple contentious elections, is starkly divided by race, income and, increasingly, education.
 
The Fix: Clinton has the electoral votes to win in our final forecast
With our last ratings of where states stand, Hillary Clinton has 275 electoral votes solidly hers or leaning in that direction. That's five more than she needs to secure the White House. The big change is returning North Carolina from "leaning Democratic" to the "toss-up" column.
 
Sometimes even the best Senate candidates can’t win
Jason Kander (D-Mo.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) are running good races. Yet both head into Tuesday as 50-50 bets, and some of the people who praise their campaigns wouldn't be surprised to see either lose.
 
Washington Post offers free digital access for election coverage
Note to readers: The Post will provide unlimited access to coverage of the election to all readers on Tuesday and Wednesday.
