The Trumps cast ballot
Republican candidate Donald Trump cast his vote at the Midtown Manhattan precinct, along with his spouse Melania Trump. “Very good – everything’s very good,” Trump said. “It’s just very good, generally speaking,” he said after being asked about what his campaign has heard about the early returns from battleground states.

All eyes will be on the key battleground state of Virginia (13 electoral votes), which voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 but was previously solid Republican. If Donald Trump is victorious here, or if it's a close win for Hillary Clinton, it could portend a very long, stressful night for the Democrats.
Georgia (16) is another one to watch. The state has voted Republican since 1996, but the party's margin of victory has eroded in recent elections. Also expect projections from Indiana (11), home to Trump running mate Mike Pence, Kentucky (8), South Carolina (9) and Vermont (3).
