[ chanting hillary ] reporter on the same stage at philadelphias Independence Mall, the obamas, the clintons and 33,000 people, the largest crowd of this entire campaign, all there for a symbolic passing of the torch. The president even paving the way by helping Hillary Clinton see, when its when its not, its gotta be permanently there for you. We face the test of our time, what will we vote for . Not just against. Reporter the nations first africanamerican president hoping his successor breaks barriers too. And im asking you to work as hard as you can this one last day to elt, american, this fighter, this stateswoman, this mother, this grandmother, this patriot, our next president of the United States of america. Hillary clinton. Reporter and the first lady making one final pitch. We deserve a leader who sees our diversity not as a threat but as a blessing. Reporter clinton calling on . Tonight girl well be free all the promises will be broken . Reporter to bon jovi. . Here comes the sun . . Here comes the sun . Reporter and the final day of campaigning didnt end there. A midnight rally in North Carolina with lady gaga. . Reporter overnight clinton flying back to new york and when she and supporters right there to welcome her home. So much of america waking up this morning saying they are glad election day is finally here and trust me, the campaign feels that way too. Hillary clinton after her stop here today will be largely out of sight for the rest of the day until that big Party Tonight in manhattan. What she hopes, of course, is a victory party, aides tell us that theyve got two speeches prepared for her, one for each possible outcome, robin. We dont know if shes looked at either one of those yet. You. Donald trump jr. Is standing by and will join us in a moment. First joining us live the democratic nominee for Vice President senator tim kaine is joining us live from richmond, virginia. Good morning, senator. Did you get any sleep last night . Robin, i got about three hours of sleep but i feel about as good as you can feel with three hours of sleep. Youve already cast your vote. I have, indeed. We opened the polls at 6 00 a. M. In virginia. I got there at quarter till and by the time i had voted there was already quite a long i was excited to see that. Were seeing already long lines all across the country as the polls are opening. Senator, what have you seen so far be it the early voting and such, these last few days out on the campaign trail that have given you confidence or possibly concern, what have you seen . Well, there are three things, robin that are really important that real data, you see who is registering to vote and then you see who is asking for absentee then you also see the early vote participation in the states that allow it. And what were seeing in terms of early participation is very, very strong. Democracy always works better the more people participate and i think the energy and enthusiasm about what we believe will be a history making race, thats the thing that gives me the most, you know, the most feeling of optimism right now. There is a lot of enthusiasm, a number of states are still in play. What has you your eye on, gives you the greatest concern . Well, yeah, theres a couple of states that i call checkmate states so probably 10 or 15 that are battleground states, but the ones we watch really close are checkmate states. Those are states where if we win, we know hillary will be president and i say this about North Carolina, pennsylvania, florida, ohio. These are four checkmates. I think if we win any of those maybe win all of them but there are some of them will be really close, so were watching those states very, very closely. Also look, im selfish. Virginia wasnt competitive at all when i got into politics in 1994 until president obama won it in 2008, it was assumed to be safe republican territory. Our polls close at 7 00 p. M. This evening. So well probably know how virginia is going pretty early tonight and that will tell us something too. As voters head to there in your home state of virginia and all across the country, people who will be voting in favor of you, those who will not, what do you say to those people, the American People who are going out to let their voices be heard today after such a challenging election season . I just encourage them, robin. I lived in honduras 35 years ago. It was a military dictatorship and nobody could vote. They prayed for the day that they could elect their leaders, power and respecting Election Results were what they looked at us as setting the example for, so my main pitch to everybody is, we are so blessed to have the opportunity to participate in a vigorous way. We just passed more than 200 million americans registered to vote in this country and i just hope we see record turnout for what i believe is going to be a history making election. And peaceful one at that. All right, senator tim kaine, thank you very much. Wrapping up his campaign with a midnight rally in michigan. He is back in new york city this morning to vote. Says hes going to win with the help of tom brady and Bill Belichick of the new england patriots. Our tom llamas has been with him from the start. Tussled with him at times here in midtown manhattan. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, good morning to you. This morning donald trump will be here in manhattan and hell vote. Hell walk into his polling location, grab this giant ballot, hes going to open it up. At the top of that hell have an for president. Now, melania and ivanka trump will also be voting with him this morning. This will be the first time ith ivanka votes for her father. Hell need every vote he can get. On the eve of election day, donald trump already declaring victory. I think were going to blow them out tomorrow in a lot of different way, blow them out. No way. This is not the sound of a second place finisher, that i can tell you. Reporter trumps Marathon Campaign taking him to five battleground states in one day, finishing past midnight in grand rapids, michigan. Were hours away from a once in a lifetime change. Were going to have real change. Reporter but before that, laser light show in New Hampshire and a surprise, trump are supporting him. Patriots coach Bill Belichick and Quarterback Tom Brady. So i said, so, tom, you voted for me, you support me. Am i allowed to say it tonight to this massive crowd in New Hampshire . He said, if you want to say it, you can say it, okay. Tom. Thats what a champ is all about. Reporter in sarasota, the republican nominee pausing as his crowd erupted in chants of President Trump. [ chanting President Trump ] reporter for trump reaching the height of president ial politics anything but humbling and making sure everyone remembers. They say its the single greatest movement politically speaking in the history of this country. Can you believe that . Can you believe it . Thats quite an honor. Reporter when asked by the wall street journal if it was all worth it, trump saying it took massive amounts of work, into my life, unbelievably unfair hits to my family but the answer is very proudly yes. Trump telling his supporters his work is done. Now its up to them. Well, you know what you can do, go out and vote tomorrow. Thats what you can do, ill tell you. Thats the only way. Thats where you beat the rigging, folks. Reporter now donald trump says if he wins tonight hell celebrate for an hour then wake up start working. If he loses movement or not donald trump says this will be the single biggest waste of time, money and energy. George. Okay, tom, thank very much. Lets talk to his son, donald trump jr. One of his dads closest advisers. Thanks for coming back in. I remember the morning of the iowa caucuses, the first votes. We sat down and talked. Ten months later youre here on election day. How would you sum it up . Incredible. To go around the country and see political system and thats really a bipartisan problem, people who have been let down by politicians time and time again. To be able to see them facetoface, not just on tv every once in a while but have them come up to you with that emotion, its been awesome. Its moving. Robin asked tim kaine where he sees hope. The polls show you behind right now. What are you looking for for hope . So i want everyone to turn out, people who have been let down, i want them to turn out and vote and bring their friends and well see what happens. I mean i have seen that from so many people that come up to us and you, keep doing what youre doing and ive had just as many come up and say, we love you, keep doing what youre doing. Theyve been put in a box oftentimes by the media. By a false narrative created out there. You know, they cant be as vocal about supporting trump and its going to be interesting to see how that turns out. You saw your father last night at some of those rallies say if he loses this whole thing has been a waste of time. Is that what you think . You know, i dont know about wake up and start representing their constituency. What ive seen, government of the elite by the elite and for the elite. And seen it whether it be all of the corruption out there, all of the nonsense that weve been reading about over i dont think thats what the american want w want. They want a voice again. They havent had it in a long time so hopefully we can be the start of that movement to give those people back their voice. This is a bitter campaign. If your dad wins, how does he bring the country together. I think he has doing what hes been doing. I was in detroit yesterday. My father has gone into the inner cities and gone to places where traditional republican candidates wouldnt go, wouldnt even think about bothering to campaign because he knows he has to be president for all of america and go into those places and make sure he follows through. If he loses will he work to bring the country together. I imagine he will. I think, you know, again, weve all grown a lot during this process. Weve all learned a lot. Easy to be glib when youre in stork city and work for a been watching them for 18 months. Their American Dream has been exported to Foreign Countries and someone else is living that dream. Weigh want to bring that back and do that as best we can regardless of the outcome. Thanks for coming in this morning. That morning in iowa seems like a long time ago. I always say the last 18 months has been the longest ten years of my life. Thank you. As voting gets under way our latest tracking poll shows Hillary Clinton Holding Steady with a fourpoint lead over donald trump. Abcs Jonathan Karl joins us with a closer look at where it stands right now. Millions heading out t the polls today. 45 million have already cast their vote. Where do things stand right now . The early vote has been huge. Robin, we dont know how any of these people have voted but we actually know quite a bit about who is voting. Take the biggest swing state of them all, the state of florida, if you look at this youve had democrats with a slight edge over republican, a little bit over a percent. Independent. In the state of North Carolina, you have democrats with an even bigger edge over republicans in the early vote and a considerable independent vote. Heres the thing, though, although democrats in both those states have a big advantage its actually less of an advantage than they had four years ago when barack obama barely won florida and lost the state of North Carolina. So we dont know, again, how that vote is going to play out. You heard tim kaine talk about those checkmate states for hi plausible path now that our poll is showing him behind. Its a tough path. First of all, if you look at the abc rate ratings he has to go through and win every single one of the states that we have as tossup states. Even if he does that, george, take a look what happens to the electoral count. If he wins every single one of our tossup states he is still short of the 270 he needs and needs to win one of these big blue states like michigan or in a single poll since this election started. Going back to the convention. Jon karl, thanks very much. All right. This is going to be your home away from home today. Michael will be tonight too. Tonight michael is going to be outside and thats where he is right now with a look at what we can expect. Michael. Im going to be here. Im going to have a coat on tonight.

Well talk with some of the voigt from around the country in person, were also going to talk to them on social media about some of the things that are most important to them and meanwhile, while this is happening here, the candidates, theyve been having a little fun on social media lately. Hillary clinton and her team taking on the mannequin challenge. There we go. Bill, huma, hillary and look at that, who is that in the back . Jon bon jovi, that was on the plane, had a good time with that and also trumps kids have been having a little fun. Ivanka and tiffany taking a snapchat puppy filter and there are lots of people out there using snapchat election day filters you wering you to get out and cast your important vote.

Back here at gma, and that is jon bon jovi and lady gaga singing livin on a prayer taking the stage last night at a starstudded rally for Hillary Clinton. And donald trump also his own big rally, hitting five battleground states in one day and saying hes going to win with support from patriots stars tom brady and Bill Belichick. Got the patriots in his corner. So he says this morning. Also, millions heading to the polls this morning. Lets look live at people voting across the country right now. Theres the battleground state of ohio, columbus, the capital and also people voting right here in new york city. Look at those lines. Yeah. Yep, and its not just the white house on the ballot. Millions are heading to the polls to vote on some major hot coming up. Thats right. States are voting on everything from marijuana to the Death Penalty to gun control. It is a big day on a lot of issues coming up. Robin. Got to keep that in mind. A lot of excitement here in new york and in those battleground states that could determine the election. The candidates have been spending a lot of time in florida. Its considered a mustwin for trump, but not a guarantee. Paula faris is in miami shores. Paula, what are you seeing so far . Good morning. Reporter well, what im seeing, im not seeing a line state already voted. But it is all about florida. 29 electoral votes up for grabs. Donald trump has spent more time and more money in this state than anywhere else. He calls it his second home. But its almost impossible for him to win the presidency if he doesnt pick up this state. Whereas secretary clinton who has also spent the most amount in florida, can still afford to lose florida and go on to win the presidency. Hispanic early vote, in 2012 that comprised 522,000 votes. Fast forward to this election cycle, almost double. A massive surge. Were talking 980,000. And keep this in mind, 36 of those that voted early from the Hispanic Community in 2016, you guys, didnt even vote for years ago. This is a base that is extremely motivated. A base that is expected to skew heavily for secretary clinton and way base that could not only determine what happens in the Sunshine State but ultimately decide the election. Robin, back to you. Paula, thank you. You know the Sunshine State is important. But North Carolina is also a major battleground state. And Hillary Clinton spent her final night of the campaign there and abcs linsey davis is in raleigh. A big law could help drive voter turnout. Reporter youre exactly right, good morning to you, michael. Lots of enthusiasm here. The line to vote is actually out of the door. Thats because theres so much at stake here in the tar heel state. For starters you have that transgender bathroom law. Such a polarizing issue. To drive a lot of people to the polls. In the most recent poll here in North Carolina, you have clinton and trump tied neck and neck. In 2012, North Carolina voted for mitt romney. In 2008, they voted for president obama. And prior to that, North Carolina had not voted for a democrat for president since 1976, when we were talking about jimmy carter. But in 2008 a big help for president obama was the extremel Hillary Clinton will need a repeat of the same in order to win the state tonight, guys. Okay, linsey, thanks. Our whole Political Team here this morning. Im joined by martha raddatz, matthew dowd, Cokie Roberts and along with Alex Castellanos and stephanie rawlingsblake, the democratic mayor of baltimore. Thank you all for being here. Matt, let me begin with you. Suay, you said Hillary Clinton has a 95 chance of winning. You sticking with that . Maybe 96 this morning. I think one of the mysteries we dont know, which could today is, whats the composition of the electorate . I think the Trump Campaign hopes it looks like 2014. The clinton wants it to look like 2012 or 2008. I think Donald Trumps only chance would be like the new york giants, coming across town, going to Madison Square garden and beating the new york rangers on their ice. Anythings possible. You accepted the challenge. Well done. Cokie, cokie, you and many others feel its going to be a much tighter race. Thats because the country is so divided and its really hard one way or another. But i do think that matt is right. It will be like 2012 except on steroids. Because we are seeing this big hispanic turnout, which is very interesting. I think the africanamerican turnout is going to get up. But we have a group of swing voters, people who have not voted democratic before and those are collegeeducated white women. And if the they vote for Hillary Clinton today and up to today then shes got the election. And now alex, on georges show on sunday, you predicted a trump victory. But you agree its going to be hard for him to win the latino vote. I think its going to be very hard. Matt is here to provide rational analysis. Im here to balance that. Sports analogy. As recent ly as 2006, more hispanics in florida were registered as republicans than democrats. Boy, has that changed. And that is going to be, i think, the big moment of the night is, does donald trump take florida . If he does not, its going to make the path ahead nearly impossible i think. Martha, lets take a look at the big picture here and the entire campaign. What has really mattered. Issues barely have come up at times, it seems. As you know, robin, ive been crossing the country and talking to voters. Issues do come up. They really do. They talk about immigration and to is temperament and character. And whether they have the temperament and character to address the issues theyre talking about, to address national security. I heard again and again, temperament questions about donald trump and character questions about Hillary Clinton. So in the end, i think thats really what will make up peoples minds. And bottom line, both candidates enter election day the least liked candidates in American History so, mayor blake, let me bring this to you. You are a Hillary Clinton supporter. Even if she shes not going to have a honeymoon. Looks like the majority of americans saying they dont like her. How does she address it . Youve seen secretary as a resilient woman and i think she will be a resilient president and understands we have to heal our country. Thats why she talks about the fact that we are stronger together. She understands the diversity of our country is truly our strength and i think that she is the right person at the right time when this country needs to come together to lead us. You know being in baltimore. How do you go about doing that, mayor as her Vice President. He knows the ground game. He knows how to get in communities and get things done. And you have a we will have a president who shows every single day that she cares about american families. And i think that will be the healing that our country needs. Dont underestimate the excitement that will be there if, in fact, she wins. This dislike will go away at least briefly because shell be the elected president. And shell be the first amount of excitement. I think whoever wins, this country is exhausted from this election. We are all going to be hungry for something to bring the country together. And i think whoever wins is going to be given a gift. Theyre going to be given that moment to bring the country together. I hope theyre wise enough to do it. Matt, theyll require partners as well. For the sake of argument, if Hillary Clinton wins, as you well, my guess is paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell and others are going to basically take the reins away from donald trump as quick as they can tonight. Take the keys away from him being the designated driver and position them as representing the Republican Party going forward. I think thats their biggest concern tonight. Who is the leader of the Republican Party after tonight . All of you will be here with us tonight. Thank you very much. Get some sleep during the day. Coming up here how secure are your votes and can the election be hacked . Brian ross is here with what americans should really be ror polls. Well be back in two minutes. . . . . Liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. I just snapped a photo and got an estimate in 24 hours. My Insurance Company definitely doesnt have that.

Next while were still young you know you told me you wanted mustard. Get outta here times up back of the line hey. Excuse me. At great sandwich. Thanks. . You didnt have to be so nice . Get outta here. . I would have liked you anyway . Back now here on gma. And look at those lines, all across the country here on election day. And thats Hillary Clintons polling place. But back now with cybersecurity and your vote. U. S. Authorities are on high anybody trying to hack into the election. And here is abcs investigative correspondent brian ross with much more on this. Good morning, brian. Well, good morning, robin. The watch is on this morning as nearly every state has asked the federal government for help to protect its Voting System from being hacked. But the fact that each state for the most part has its own somewhat antiquated, not always things is probably the best protection against the final outcome somehow being affected by a cyberattack. Or as one candidate has claimed rigged. The system is rigged. The system is rigged, folks. Its all rigged. Were in a rigged system. The system is totally rigged and broken. Reporter cyberSecurity Experts have long warned about how simple it would be to mess with individual electronic voting booths. It would be very easy for someone to put a piece of malware on this type of device especially if these cards are manipulate the card to either plant an embedded code on one of these devices or multiply the number of votes theyre submitting. Reporter there is no evidence any such rigging has ever taken place. But at least four states, including illinois, have had their Voter Registration rolls targeted or scanned. Were highly confident that nothing was added, nothing was deleted, nothing was altered. Reporter but officials are concerned the scanning by hackers in russia or els may have been just a preparation for today. There have been a variety of scanning activities which is a preamble for potential intrusion activities. Reporter and Security Experts say the aim could be to cause confusion, hitting targets other than the Voting Systems themselves. Organizations could hack into a social media system, could begin posting inaccurate or misleading information regarding the election. Trying to undermine confidence in our election system. Reporter u. S. Officials say strongest way we know how, that any attempt to attack the u. S. Election system will have the harshest consequences. Can they do anything to stop these cyberattacks . Reporter they can. Theyre on patrol right now. Department of Homeland Security headquarters. They can shut down attacks from overseas and can shut down the lines and blacklist a known address that is trying to attack into the system. Brian, how about security in general . Very high, especially here in new york with both candidates here outside trump tower this morning. Trucks lining the outside to guard against crowds coming or possible bomb blasts. Very heavy security. All right, brian, thank you. The u. S. Has fingered the russians. Lets see what the russians say. Our Alex Marquardt is in moscow this morning. You know, putin has been a major player in this campaign the whole way and, of course, hes denying these charges from the u. S. Intelligence officials. Reporter good morning, george. Thats right. He has, of course, denied any role in the hacking and in speaking with experts here its unclear whether an order would have come directly from putin or something a bit more independent, thats likely we will never have an answer to. What is clear is that he has been seizing on the anger and division in the u. S. To fuel instability. And thats something that hes had quite some success with. Hes been such a player in this entire election. We know that he was not happy with Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, vladimir putin, especially for what the u. S. Did after he went into ukraine. Donald trump said a lot of great things about vladimir putin, putin has said a couple of things about donald trump in but do we have any indication about who he really wants to win . Reporter no, we dont really know who hed like to see inside the white house. He hasnt said anything publicly. People close to the kremlin have expressed doubt about trumps unpredictability. His lack of experience. If this were left up to ordinary russians, its much clearer. In a poll released yesterday they overwhelmingly support trump. We know that he would get around for both candidates here. You can see the souvenir shops rolling out the matryoshka or nesting dolls. With former president s inside and the two candidates on the outside. Alas, no electoral votes for donald trump in moscow. Alex marquardt, thank you very much. All right, george and michael. Coming up in just two minutes, the white house isnt the only issue on the ballot. The hot button issues sending millions of americans to the polls today. Caring about this election season . We have letters from our children to the future president. And well have what they want to see from our next leader and for our country. I have asthma. One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you. See if youre eligible for . All right, welcome back on this election day. With a major look at the issues on your ballot, amy has got those. And theres a lot more than the white house at stake. Political offices to all those ballot initiatives, voters have a lot on their plates in this election cycle. Lets start with indiana. Governor mike pence dropped his reelection bid so he could be Donald Trumps running mate and recent polls are showing eric holcomb in a tight race with Democrat John gregg. Its a controversial law that is allowing deniable of services to samesex people. Its playing a major part in that state and then marijuana is big on the ballots this year. Five states are considering whether or not to legalize it. Maine, massachusetts, arizona, nevada and california and that state is home to more than 10 of the u. S. Population. So a lot of people impacted with that one. And then also in the golden state, a potential law on ammunition. Prop 63 would make it illegal to own magazines that have more than ten rounds. And require background checks it came about in the wake of the massacre in san bernardino. One more in california, voters there considering the states Death Penalty prop 62 would scrap it entirely and replace it with life in prison. So a lot of people heading to the polls not just with the president ial candidate in mind, but voting on a lot of these propositions, robin. It is so important, amy, to keep that in mind. Coming up from the trumps to the clintons, how are the candidates families shaping the election . Tension on election day and prior to and we have some great ways to deal with the stress.

When i first started working with capital one, my dad called them up and asked for the Jennifer Garner card mr. Garner, are you related to jennifer . Kind of joking with him. And my dad was so proud to tell her, as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter. So now dad has the venture card, hes earning his double miles, and he made a friend at the company. Can i say it . Go ahead whats in your wallet . Nice job dad. Back here on Good Morning America, a little bit more we know florida, swing state, that looks good. I mentioned earlier how michigan and ohio are going to be a big deal. And now i want to show you all the other states highlighted on this map with some of the trouble spots, so you can kind of see whats going on here. Localized flooding possible. This is after a couple of days of six to even ten inches along the gulf coast but a lot of states down there not as crucial. Its right there with the michigan and, of course, ohio later in the afternoon and evening when the cold front approaches and showers start to fall that it could impact voter turnout. Otherwise all those other states on the map are looking so good. One other headline that i wanted to get to, we havent mentioned enough. North carolina in that drought, lots of fires. On the actual fire map, some of the most fires now in the southeast so all that brought to Good Morning America is brought to you by the venture card from capital one. Earn unlimited double miles you be voting on a 40 Million Dollar bond issue. Most of the money from the bond would fund water and Land Protection to improve Water Quality and mitigate flooding. Some would also pay for improving parks and trails in linn county. If it passes, the owner of a home worth 140,000 dollars would pay an additional 27 dollars a year. A member of the board of conserva improvements would have a longlasting impact. I know if i just put 27 towards an effort it doesnt go very far. But all of us together, this can go really far and have a positive impact, um for the residents here today but also the residents here tomorrow. The bond issue requires a 60 super majority to pass. Voters in iowa city can decide on a measure that could lower the number of signatures needed to bring future initiatives and referendums in front of people who vote in the last city election has to sign the document. If this measure passes today, it would lower that number to 10 . And now heres your first alert forecast. Plan on a breezy and cooler election day. Clouds should clear the area by 8am at the latest, allowing for sunny sky today. Temperatures back well into the 50s by 2 3pm. Plan on wind speeds anywhere from 1020 much of the day out of the northwest. Through the rest of the week, the sky generally remains clear with highs well into the 50s and 60s as well as lows primarily into the 40s. The next best chance for any measurable rain isnt until at least 7 days from now. Have a good election day today mostly sunny. Wind nw 1020. High 58 tonight mostly clear and cooler. Wind n 510. Low 34 tomorrow sunny. Wind nw 510. High 58 tom. Night clear. Wind sw 510. Low 37 voters in linn county also have a chance to reduce the size of members to 3. People supporting the change say it would cut good morning, america. Its 8 00 a. M. Decision day. Both candidates pull out all the stops overnight. Im here to ask you to vote for yourselves. It will be the most important vote. Hillary clinton with the president , the first lady, the boss and bon jovi. We are going to be livin on a prayer. Donald trump crisscrosses five battleground states in one day. Tomorrow in a lot of different way, blow them out. As the first votes are cast in New Hampshire. Hillary clinton and donald trump both voting this morning as americans head to the polls on this election day. Secret weapons. Which potential first family has been a great asset on the campaign trail . The gma exclusive poll revealing which family voters prefer. Their influence on this historic race and how each has given their candidate a special edge in the race to the white house. . Well be safe and sound . Reveal their hopes for the country. Dear future president , this is what i want for the future of america. I want equal rights for everyone. Solve any type of problem. I want america to be admired overseas. The issues that matter most to them and what they want the next president to know as we say [ chanting good morning, america ] and good morning, america. Take a look right now. That is westchester, new york, Hillary Clinton has just entered the polling place right behind the door there. She is going to be voting this morning. I dont think theres any mystery about who she is going to be voting for or her husband former president bill clinton. There she is. As she was walking in just moments ago looking pretty chipper for someone who had very little sleep last night, they went from philadelphia to North Carolina. Theres mr. President , president bill clinton right there, as jon bon jovi on the plane with them. Bruce springsteen in philadelphia. Lady gaga for the final concert as well, but now it comes down to the moment for her where she will cast her vote. There she is walking in. It must be something to see your name on the ballot as president of the United States. Got to be such a moment. No matter who you are. And after all of this work. Even for someone who has been first lady, secretary of state, a senator from the state of new york. Shes seen herself on the ballot before as a senator but never as president never for president of the United States. Another sign of our times right there. Everybody has their phones. She might not stop for a selfie before she votes this morning, although we will see. This campaign season, who knows. It could very well be it looks like she is stopping to talk there. Well, she may not stop but president bill clinton, hes there, maybe he could take the selfies while she goes in to vote. And, cecilia vega, youre on the scene there, as well . Reporter george, i am on the scene. They just pulled up right here i tried to shout a question at her, asked her how she was feeling about election day. I got a big wave. I got no comment. Im used to that one, george. She has called this the test of our time and election day is finally here. This historic day, a historic moment is how she closed down this campaign overnight. You mentioned that rally in philly. They were there on the historic Independence Mall and you mentioned some of the big names there, jon bon jovi, Bruce Springsteen, but, of side by side and not just that, the largest crowd of this entire campaign, 33,000 people, thats the biggest crowd for any candidate in this race and Hillary Clinton had a chance to make her closing argument. Take a listen. We face the test of our time, what will we vote for, not just against. What will we decide is on the the ballot, every issue you care about is on that ballot. And as we watch Hillary Clinton reporter that is the point she is making in her closing argument. This stark contrast, the Clinton Campaign, george, is feeling very confident as know heading into election day. Theyre really talking about their ground game that theyve spent months building up and say theyve made contact with 45 Million People since early voting began on door knocks and phone calls but Hillary Clinton is superstitious and still has two speeches ready just in case, george. She is but youre right dropping their veneer a little bit. A lot of confidence in the clinton camp. Lets find the view from the trump camp from tom llamas in new york city. Donald trump will be voting, as well, tom. Reporter george, good morning to you. In just a couple of hours, were expecting trump to appear here at this voting location in manhattan with melania and his daughter ivanka. Now, you spoke of superstitions. Called up fox news, fox friends. He said he always did that before the primary win so he did that today and also acknowledged he does have some regrets but he didnt want to list them. He says you always have to look forward. He feels confident. He thinks theyll win florida and surprise people in other big states. Now, yesterday he campaigned from 11 00 a. M. In the morning until 1 00 a. M. Today this morning. He had a late night rally in grand rapids, michigan. He actualably believes that blue voters are going to turn out for him and hes going to be able to break that blue wall of support for Hillary Clinton. Last night in New Hampshire he had a crazy rally. It was a laser light show. His family was on stage, governor mike pence was there. His running mate, Rudy Giuliani and then he had a big surprise and announced he has the endorsement of two of the most popular people in new england and New Hampshire, of course, theyre in new england, Quarterback Tom Brady for the patriots and, of course, also the patriots coach, Bill Belichick, who wrote him a very now, if you want an endorsement in new england, its definitely from those two, again, waiting for him to come here at some point to vote and we will ask him what its like to vote for yourself for president. George. Okay, tom llamas, thanks very much. Now lets go to amy with the rest of the mornings top headlines. Good morning, guys. And there is another drama playing out today in the senate where democrats need a net gain of at least four seats to take control and one state to watch is New Hampshire where the race between republican kelly ayotte and democratic governor Maggie Hassan has swung back and forth and then in veteran jason kander is challenging republican roy blunt. Kanders campaign ad showed him putting together a rifle blindfolded. Well, the Justice Department is deploying 500 election monitors across 28 states today, they will be watching for voter intimidation. Thats fewer monitors than four years ago. Officials blame the decrease on a Supreme Court ruling that struck down part of the Voting Rights act. Investigators across indiana are looking into thousands of cases of alleged voter operatives from a group tied to the Democratic Party have been fabricating voter reg strayings for months to meet quotas, but so far no charges have been filed. And with both president ial candidates Holding Election night parties in manhattan, the nypd, as you might imagine, is deploying more than 5,000 officers, double the number usually assigned on election day. Its about the same number though deployed for new years eve or the popes visit. And you know what, finally, we have one picture that may just sum up the National Mood on this election day. Take a look. A divorce sale at this house on the market there in florida and there on the lawn a trump sign right next to a clinton sign. They say a picture says a thousand words, and i think that one does exactly that. They couldnt agree. Divided america. Thats it. Thank you, amy. So you have a political pop news there. Well, a little bit. A little news at the top and then a political asylum flavor for you. We begin with Kensington Palace issuing an unprecedented statement asking the press and internet trolls, i say that in quotes, to respect prince harry and his american girlfriend Meghan Markles privacy coming to her defense and acknowledging their relationship is in process. The letter explains, quote, prince harry is worried about ms. Markels safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. This is not a game. It is her life and his. Prince harry says the media has, quote, crossed the line. The palace was livid in that letter. And we were correct in our reporting. We can now confirm apparently they are dating. But we are not trolls. We are not trolls, and i do think that they have every right to have a nice romance. But it is a big deal that shes now under the umbrella of protection of Kensington Palace. So, thats notable. There you go. Breaking news from amy. We will stay on that story election, some election theme pop news. This year may be stressful, but voters in pennsylvania have puppies at the polls to make the ruff decision a little easier. The Providence Animal Center and the pennsylvania spca will plan to have puppies at polling locations in an effort to attract millennial voters and also to reduce anxiety on everybody. Ah, look at that face. This pawsome idea comes from next gen climate, its initiative that brought pups to iowa and North Carolina, pennsylvania, nevada and New Hampshire and turning now to our own initiative to help as many shelter dogs find their forever homes, drum roll, please. [ drum roll ] could this be a coincidence or not, 1776 dogs have been adopted by our viewers as of this morning on election day. How patriotic. Yes. Hamiltonlike popularity in our pawsome dog adoption. Its really exciting. And then finally, it took a dog food commercial to deliver one of the strongest messages of this election. An actress sporting a protrump tshirt pretends to lose her dog in the middle of a very big Hillary Clinton rally. She does the same thing later at a trump rally wearing a hillary tshirt and asking people if they can help her find the dogs rightful owner. Shes wearing the tshirt. This is a social media experiment. The reactions you are seeing are real. The growling you also see stops by the end of the commercial when the dog is reunited with its owner, the message is loud and clear, we are all concerned about the same things, we all have heart and when it comes to dogs, there are no political parties. Its a really warm, wonderful commercial, brought a tear to my eye. Pedigree did a great job and at the end of the day on this day, thats what we have to remember. We all want the same things for our children and our country and that is pop news. Thank you. Ah. Great job. Id like to do it again, youre working it. Youre working it. Coming up, the candidates secret weapons. Their families. Weve got an exclusive poll revealing what americans think about the clintons and the trumps. Come on back. You know how it is, someone does something nice for you and you feel obligated to do something nice back. Maybe your aunt sent you a crocheted scarf, you sent a thank you note. And the crochet just kept on coming. Well, at carmax, you dont have to return the favor. A car from them. Because feeling obligated is uncomfortable. And tight. In places it shouldnt be. Carmax wont make you feel that way. Lucky you. I feel like a quilt. . . For millions of baby boomers theres a virus out there. A virus thats serious, like hiv, but it hasnt been talked about much. Its hepatitis c. One in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most dont even know it. Thats because hep c can hide in your body silently for years, even decades, without symptoms and its not tested for in routine blood work. If left untreated, hep c can cause liver damage, even liver cancer. But theres Important Information for us the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested for hep c. And if you have hep c, it can be cured. Be sure to ask your doctor to get tested for hep c. For us its time to get tested. Fact. Advil is not only strong its gentle on your body too. No wonder doctors and patients have trusted advil. For their tough pains for over 30 years. Relief doesnt get any better than this. And welcome back to gma and take a look, former president bill clinton along with secretary clinton going to vote. This will be the first time she of the United States in a general election. Of course, she has done it during the primaries and both candidates have had their families by their sides on and off the trail this season. And since you mention that, george, the results of a gma exclusive poll suggests more voters believe the trump family has been a greater asset than the clinton family. 46 to 41 but will that sway voters . Lets go back to abcs palmer. Shes in miami shores, florida, with much more on this. Hey there. Looking good there, paula. Good morning. Hi there. Thanks, robin. Family, ah, we all love our family, as we just mentioned trumps family is seen more of an asset than Hillary Clintons family. Families tend to humanize the candidates but as we all know families can bring out the best in us and the absolute worst. Its a longstanding political tradition. He will make fantastic president. Shes Strong Enough to be president. I am so fiercely, ridiculously proud of my mom. Reporter the potential first families pounding the campaign pavement for that president ial win. We get a sense of who they are through their children, through their spouse. We want to get a Human Connection to that individual. Families give us that connection. Shes the best darned change maker i ever met in my entire life. Reporter still hugely popular in democratic circles, president bill clinton has tried to capitalize on that love. Staying largely on message while i have been aware of his love for this country since we first met. Reporter but in a rare move for political spouses, Melania Trump has been mostly absent from the trail. So its hard to say whether shes been a positive or negative factor. She really has been a neutral factor. She really hasnt taken to the stump herself. We really havent gotten a direct connection to Melania Trump through any of her independent efforts. My only mission is to get him there beca reporter some saying the trump children, especially ivanka, have filled that void. The eldest trump daughter emerging as one of her fathers strongest political assets even announcing major policy plans. We had a very comprehensive plan for how to make child care more affordable, more accessible, create more optionality. I think ivanka trump has been a better surrogate and a more father than any of her siblings or Melania Trump. I think shes been poised, shes been on message. I know with all my heart that my mother will make us proud as our next president. Reporter and as an experienced campaigner, some political analysts say that Chelsea Clinton has helped to show the softer side of her mother. I think where Chelsea Clinton has broken through, its in talking about her mom as a mom. Talking about herself as a mom. Its theer can vouch for her moms candidacy. La familia. So who would do what within the administration . Melania says as potential first lady she would champion childrens causes, cyberbullying and social media. Donald trump, a lot of people really want his children to get involved said that they probably would not serve in any capacity in the white house. As for Hillary Clinton, bill would serve in some sort of role focusing on the economy and Chelsea Clinton has told many friends that if her parents return to the white House Keeping it all in the family, guys. All in the family. Looking good there in miami, thank you, paula. Our little slogan for our family is family, we may not have it all together but together we have it all. Good one. Thats how it is. Thank you. Coming up, what are your kids saying about americas next president . This will warm your heart. baby laughs . . . . . . Introducing tresemm .

Temperatures will initially fall through around 10am, then bounce back well into the 50s by 2 3pm. Plan on wind speeds anywhere from 1020 much of the day out of the northwest. Through the rest of the week, the sky generally remains clear with highs well into the 50s and 60s as well as lows primarily into the 40s. The next best chance for any measurable rain isnt until at least 7 days from now. Have a good election day today mostly all right, as ginger said, it is now time to hear from the kids.

And doesnt it sound so simple when they say it . Sounds so right and simple. We have more coming up. Well go behind the scenes on the campaign trail with four people who went everywhere with the candidates and youre going to see what name is tara rodman and joining us today is janet outlund from systems unlimited.

Youll be surrounded by a cast of thousands. You will be at the Javits Center with Hillary Clintons campaign and you will be at the hilton. Well be blocks apart. Weve got clinton down on 33rd. Were on 44th and here on 53rd. Very good. Yes. Got it all. And theres a lot of voting in space today. Believe it or not, one vote. Kimbrough submitted his ballot. Vote while you float in that is some absentee ballot. No one has any excuses if he voted. You know where theyre voting as well in the battleground state of pennsylvania where hillary rally overnight joined by the president and first lady and a few other stars. Abcs eva pilgrim is there in philadelphia. What a night it was, eva. Reporter yeah, big night. This is a Tipping Point state, amy. A state that could put either candidate over the edge. While this state has historically gone to the democrats every year since 1992, it is very much at play this year. Both candidates making big lastminute pushes. Trump with a big crowd in scranton and predicted i clinton with that starstudded packed crowd at Independence Mall. She had bon jovi, she had Bruce Springsteen as well as the president and mrs. Obama. And a key area for people to watch here is these philadelphia suburbs. Theyve historically gone republican but the changing demographics make this an area either candidate can win and for trump this is especially important. Republicans usually have to to win this state, amy. All right, eva, thats of course, why we saw melania there last week, robin. Well watch those all night long. Outside to lara and michael now. Thank you so much, george. Also here this morning our Campaign Reporters who have been on the trail since that very first day traveling almost 2 million miles combined. Were going to talk to them in just a moment. But first lets take a look at what they saw behind the scenes. From twoew i am officially running im back. To one seat in the oval our tireless abc Campaign Reporters have been there for it all following the two candidates still vying for your vote. To think that from that escalator we have gone two iowa, New Hampshire, nevada, south carolina, texas, florida, i mean, you name it. You see thing, you get to cross this beautiful amazing country. Its been an incredible experience. Sacrificing their normal clinton full time since she launched her campaign 575 days ago. The campaign plane, its where we eat, we live. We sleep. Witnessing firsthand the moment Hillary Clinton and donald trump became the official nominees. I accept your nomination. What surprised me was how rocky that road was to get there. I dont think anybody could have expected the movement around bernie sanders. I humbly accept your nomination. He has become the republican nominee, the most unlikely candidate ever, ever, no one ever thought this was possible but somehow trump has pulled this off. Reporting from the front lines, collectively filing more than 1,000 articles. Blasting out 19,000 tweets and giving us rare access to the countrys future leader. A top moment was the day i got to interview Hillary Clinton oneonone. I got an hours notice before questions together and at the end we just chatted casually. She told me about a bracelet she wear, one that Nelson Mandela gave her and another that has a charm of her granddaughter charlotte on it. Hes very close to his little army. He wants everyones opinion. Hes very engaged with them. He knows whats going on in their lives. That little team around him is really become a very tightknit family. And picking up a few hacks for life on the road. You he single rewards program imaginable. Getting tsa precheck was critical to my time on the campaign trail . Nyquil, day quill, you never know. Bandaid, you never know. A lifechanging experience that comes to a dramatic conclusion today. To think after all of in that its suddenly over, its weird. I mean, this is our lives. But for them figuring out whats next is easy. The first thing i will do is on first and foremost sleeping. Most importantly i think sleep. But before they sleep, they are with us. List kreutz and josh haskell has been covering the Clinton Campaign, thank you so very much. And on this side, John Santucci and Candace Smith have been with Trumps Campaign from the beginning. Want to ask how happy are you to have your lives back . Theyre not back yet. A if you week a watching that piece you want to go do it again. We had so much fun. I think youre the only one who wants to do it again, john. Sign me up, lets go. He does get into it and does a great job. Josh, what are you going to miss most about being on the road . The spontaneity of it all. You never know whats going to happen. My gear in my apartment at all types and never forget sunday, 9 11, Hillary Clinton was doing no Public Events just that memorial and heard she had some ceremony and im racing to Chelsea Clintons apartment two minutes from mine and theres Hillary Clinton and i covered that story for the next two weeks, never got back home. So really it is breaking news, you are on the move all the time. Liz, this is your first time. How was the experience for you . I know off camera you were saying those planes and all of that travel was actually rather fun. Yeah, it actually is, you know, as much as its grueling you can see where its a 24 7 job, its so much fun. We all become sort of like a ill miss. All the other networks. And other reporters and we sort of are in this together because its such a wild ride and no one else could understand it and, you know, theres also fun types we have moments with Hillary Clinton where shell come back and take questions from us and we often climb on top of each other and create this sort of human pyramid on the seats of the plane to try to get in and ask a question. Its a lot of chaos, though. You dont have a desk. You dont have anything like that and im sure you are always on top of each other. That you really needed internet. Well, yeah, the day that director comey had released his update to the letter. We had no way to communicate or even know about it and we told the Clinton Campaign staffers about the story and seeing their faces and not being able to report it out, it was quite a situation, but, you know, people lived in a time without internet so theres got to be a way. We did it before. We have to do it again. Candace, not one but two embed, wi j trump and a bit of a mishap on your end once. Well, you know, i think through the course of this year and a half ive traveled to 700 ive traveled to 300 city, 38 state, probably 700,000 miles so sometimes you forget where you are so i was in wisconsin supposed to be driving to milwaukee. I put in the name of my hotel driving catching up on calls and see signs for minneapolis, i had driven 3 1 2 hours in the wrong direction so needless to say i missed that event. You may have missed that event that day but you made it here today. Welcome back. Hopefully civility cops to your life and all of you can get some sleep. Yes. All right. Thats the bottom line. Thats a mandate were giving you. Get some sleep. Stay right there. Coming up, the best ways to deal with all of that election stress. Were going to find out from dr. Ashton. Maybe you guys should stick around. This next one is for you. Yeah. Back here on Good Morning America, did you know that Election Night is one of the biggest pizza eating nights of the year. I didnt know that but our sponsor pizza hut does and kick off the day. Go ahead, guys. With a little bit of pizza for everybody here in the audience. Its good, right . Good for breakfast. Tastes delicious. All right. Well, tonight you all have a chance to do just that. Were all glued to our tvs watching the results come in. Pizza hut is offering any large bucks. Thats right. You can have two. I dont care. I mean ask your mom. Cooler election day. Clouds should clear the area by 8am at the latest, allowing for sunny sky today. Temperatures will initially fall through around 10am, then bounce back well into the 50s by 2 3pm. Plan on wind speeds anywhere from 1020 much of the day out of the northwest. Through the rest of and you know im going to get in on this action, robin. Well get a slice of pizza. Thats one way. I dont need a tracking poll to tell me that stress is really something that is very apparent with a lot of people here in America Today and through this whole election process. Dr. Janet taylor, dr. Jen ashton, thank you very much. What are some patients telling you. This is not a joke. I am literally seeing patients come into my office of all ages complaining, theyre saying outright theyre stressed. What does that look like, migraine headache, palpitations. Some literal asking for antianxiety medication of i ask what is triggering their stress, their answer, the future of our country, politic, the election, this is not a joke. Its real and they are definitely having physical consequences. And children, janet, we keep hearing from parents about how their children are handling whats happening. Yeah, they are. They are watching and so some of the things you can do as a parent, ask your child how are you feeling . Tell them, you know, i hope my candidate wins because i support and mention an issue so youre always relating it to something and also make it relatable to how you deal with a loss or how you act when you win. When your soccer team loses or wins and youre like good game, if you lost you go back and say how can i make myself better as an individual and also the team h is all about one country and all of us together. I love that. Be a classy winner, be a classy loser. Thats what you two are always telling us about. Thats what parents can do. What can parents do for themselves. The first thing is acknowledge the stress. Thats number one. Number two, talk about it. Dont feel like you have to keep it inside just because its a loaded topic and then you know i always think focus on the basic, trifecta of health, eat well, try to sleep well, try to move your body every day and you know im a big believer in meditation as i know you are. I did it this morning. I think we need a double session today. Up. Thats right. Three people. Yes. Every day. We need it. It really does people say who cant do it, if we can do it, you can do it. Would you encourage watching tonight with your children . Well, absolutely because, again, you know, competition is good. You learn to grow, you learn maturity but so is cooperation so we need to talk about how we can cooperate together and unity, moving forward with healing and forgiveness, and most importantly, love and hope for the future. And please let people over again the stressful feeling. Its okay. Its okay. This is a very important time. Youre human. Your brain is always thinking and on and its am i going to be stressed or relaxed and choose to practice med take and think about whats positive. Uhhuh. So important. Any pizza . Ill have a slice.

Its been a long road full of twist and turns. No one could predict it. Heres a look back at how we got here. I am officially running for president of im back. Im running for president. When mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre bringing drugs, theyre bringing crime, their rapists. Ive been called many things by people. Quitter is not one of them. You call women you dont like fat pigs. Only Rosie Odonnell if for the record it was well beyond breathe. Lying ted. You can do it. Should Corporate America love Hillary Clinton . Everybody should. Can i finish please . All right. I dont know what i said. I dont remember. Were going to build a wall. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. I could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldnt lose any did you mean all 1. 6 billion muslims . I mean a lot of them. . We are the champions . I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States. I accept your nomination for after all, when there are no ceilings the skys the limit. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails. And they showed he didnt pay any federal income tax so that makes me smart. Donald supported the invasion of iraq. Wrong. That is absolutely wrong. Proved. Which means hes either not that rich wrong. Or hes never paid tacks in his life. Wronger. As clinton tries to enter the van she loses her footing and nearly collapses. You could put half of trumps supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. You can do anything. I said it. I was wrong and i apologize. Avalanche of accusations against donald trump. Such a nasty woman. And you know what else i president. The process of rigged. The fbi gets a warrant to examine thousands of emails from a top clinton aide. Its pretty strange to put Something Like that out with such Little Information right before an election. Our new poll shows the race for the white house remains neck and neck. The story and Mark Updegrove joins cokie and matt. Its like you sit back and you watch its depressing. No, no, what was the biggest moment for you. We saw a lot of them there. But i also think that back in the republican primaries, when we had all of those people, how did we get to donald trump . And one of the moments was when george was doing the debate in New Hampshire and Chris Christie just went after marco rubio. It was martha and david doing the debate but i agree. I think that was an absolutely key moment in the campaign, had that not happened marco rubio was rising. New hampshire. Would have had a different primary race. What about you . My moment which set all of this in motion was the day he came down that escalator and gave that speech because i think it set him up at that point to win the republican primary and also set him up an implanted the problem that hes likely to have tonight with latino voters and other voters of color. So that speech, that escalator, that moment changed the republican primary and changed the nature of this election. That escalator ride was over 500 to that moment. Wow. Mark, the historian, will history be kind. I dont think history will be kind to the election cycle. What im struck by when you look at those, how profoundly different these candidates are. You have the establishment candidate in Hillary Clinton. No one is surprised that Hillary Clinton got the nomination and you have the antiestablishment candidate in donald trump. Know he got that. If you dont have a distinct choice, if you dont know who youre choosing when you go to the polls, you havent been paying attention. You know, theres something quite wonderful about that, i mean, this is the consent of the governed. That was always the american experiment and the idea that someone who is totally from the outside with his whole Party Apparatus against him and all of the conservative intellectuals against him, first of all wins the possibility of being president at thes you something about the american system. Regardless of the result tonight history will be made in two ways tonight, first itll be the most diverse electorate weve ever seen in an election in the history of the country and, secondly, no matter if donald trump wins or Hillary Clinton wins it will be historic. Donald trump win, somebody without any political experience and military experience has never got elected president and the first woman president if Hillary Clinton wins, history will be made tonight in history on both sides. And we will be here all night fusion. The beauty of a well made choice. It is great it see the long lines of voters and we will be here all night long. Youre going to be an choring our coverage. Well take a break today. Vote. Well see you tonight. Lets do it america. Election day. Get out and vote. Vote. You got to vote people. Make your voice heard. Make your vote count. Voting can be delicious. Vote, vote, vote, vote. Vote. Vote, vote. Come on. Verizon and Election Night watch your vote count live on abc. Size of the board of supporting the change say it would cut costs in the county. Kevin kula started circulating the petition a year ago. He believes the Board Members are overpaid for the amount of work they do. Right now, the pay for each supervisor is more than 103,000 dollars. One supervisor says without 5 supervisors, some small towns wouldnt be heard. If voters approve the change, the county would also have to redesign the districts each supervisor would represent, reducing them from 5 to 3. People in marion will vote on a referendum city council members. Right now, the city has 3 at Large Council members and 4 ward council members.
