While we wait for the first exit polls, not to mention the first official results, millions of people across America have questions, and there is no better place to visualize who wants to know what than courtesy of this handy widget created by Google Trends has which shows in areas where there is above-average search interest in voting-related problems around the country. When a circle is flashing, it means there's a spike in searches. Google doesn't verify any of the problems flagged by its users; it just maps them.

Let me first say that I do not like nor did I vote for Hillary Clinton.

And, that's too bad. She really has the resume & experience to have been a very qualified candidate.

However, it is my opinion that her rap sheet trumps (pardon the pun) her resume. There is way too much smoke for there not to be fire.

May God bless the USA in spite of ourselves.

The model Norpoth is using has predicted the winner of every presidential election since 1912, with the exception of 2000when Al Gore won the popular vote but was bested George W. Bush in the Electoral College.

The S&P 500, meanwhile, has predicted that Trump will take the election, saying the businessman has an 86 percent chance of winning. The indicator has been accurate 86.4 percent of the time since 1928, and the last time it was incorrect was in 1980 when Ronald Reagan won. It's been accurate every time since 1984.

Maybe I should have said, "On the face, her resume...". Is that better?

I think it's not going to be that close. Something like 308-230. All news outlets have a lot to gain by convincing everyone it's going to be a tight race so that makes me inherently suspicious of any reports of a Trump lead. Turnout numbers in Florida suggest that if anything the polls were skewed a bit toward Trump. If that's the case then Hill-dawg wins probably all of the swing states except maybe Iowa.

Fox News Exit Polls: 62 percent bothered by Clinton's email use
According to Fox News' exit poll, 62 percent of voters say Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when secretary of state bothered them, with 37 percent saying it didn't bother them.

Meanwhile. 71 percent of voters say Donald Trump's treatment of women bothers them, with only 28 percent saying it didn't bother them.

As for who would be the best commander-in-chief, Clinton holds a 49-46 percent edge over Trump. But Trump holds a slight edge -- 48-46 percent -- among voters as to who would handle the economy better.

President George W. Bush didn't vote for either Trump, Clinton
After reports that President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, voted for Hillary Clinton, a spokesman has cleared things up -- to an extent.

According to The Wall Street Journal, a spokesman said the Bushes voted two weeks ago and didn't cast a ballot for either Trump or Clinton. The spokesman would not say if they had voted for a third-party candidate or had written in a name.

I freaking hate PA. Every election, PA looks kind of rosey for Republicans but then, along comes the count for Philadelphia and it quickly turns to Mudville for R's.

Just based on how FNC is reporting, sounds like it won't be a good day. I assume they already know the exit poll results?

This race has had opposite effects on many people. In Warren, Michigan, the third largest city in the state, two women who arrived early to the polls were on completely different tracks when it came to casting their ballots.

Lindsey Hooton has never voted in a presidential election. She's 37 years old but never felt the urge to vote. This time, she bounded to the voting booth shortly after the polls opened in Michigan. Hooton arrived wearing her bright red "Make America Great Again" hat and couldn't wait to vote for Donald Trump.

"I want him to make America great again," she said. "I want my children to have an education. I want to be able to afford health insurance for my family."

But Marshia Matthews wasn't so sure. As she stood in line, she agonized about who she was going to vote for. Her husband told her to vote for Hillary Clinton, her brother threatened to stop talking to her if she didn't vote for Trump.

At 60, Matthews has voted for presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle, so she could make a case for either. She even had initially filled out an absentee ballot with the Clinton box checked off, but never sent it, opting to show up to vote instead (she had to relinquish her absentee ballot first). After she finally cast her ballot, she said "I'm still so conflicted and I feel guilty!" But she refused to divulge her ultimate pick.
