i know how much responsibility goes with this and so many people are counting on the outcome of this election, what it means for our country and i'll do the very best i can if i am fortunate enough to win today. >> reporter: hillary clinton getting started so early today sends a couple of messages, i think. number one, they've been sending a message all across the country to their supporters encouraging them to get out there despite any odds to vote, to stand in line if they have to. there's a sense that there will be record turnout here across the country. so they very much want people to get out and she's getting out as you can see quite early after a long night that ended in north carolina last night, chris. >> all right, joe. i'll take it. thanks so much for showing us that. we want to go to arizona. voters there also casting their ballots now. could hillary clinton possibly turn that republican state blue? cnn's dan simon is live in phoenix with more.
