Evening Edition
The day's most important stories
 
 
Changing demographics could decide result
Democrats expressed confidence that increased voting by Hispanics and strong participation by African Americans, Asian Americans and young voters would provide Hillary Clinton with the margin of victory in several states. Republicans, however, said Donald Trump's appeal among working class whites would allow him to wrest the Democratic-leaning Rust Belt away from her.

While voting appears to be proceeding normally in many locations, some voters in Florida said they had encountered aggressive, intimidating behavior, according to a group monitoring election issues.
 
When will we know who the next president will be?
The only thing left is the voting — and the counting. And it can be hard to wait. See the poll closing times across the country, and which particular states might signal big election-night moments.
 
How the stampede for big money enabled Trump's rise

These 127 counties could point to tonight’s winner
Of the 10 states to swing between parties in the past four elections, five states have voted for the winner in every election since 2000: Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia.

Even before 2016 is over, the race for 2020 is well underway
In anticipation of a Trump loss, the race for the 2020 Republican nomination is already unfolding in early primary states, where potential candidates have been reintroducing themselves.
