Im olessa, thats a look at traffic. I really believe it is the most important election of our lifetime. We are fighting to bring us all together as americans. The cases have been made and now it is decision time for america. At this hour some polls are already open. With so much at stake, the reporters are covering all of the candidates on the issues, so you can know what to watch and we begin with sera congi covering the Clinton Campaign in the battleground state of New Hampshire this morning. Randy and emily, we are inside the Mcdonough School where polls opened at 6 00, and you can see behind me, long lines. Hillary clinton made a final pitch and aer there is no reason why americas best days are not ahead of us earlier in the night Bruce Springsteen joining in a rally. She was joined by president barack obama and the first lady New Hampshire. Pennsylvania. North carolina, just some of the battleground states. Hillary clinton will be casting her vote in new york. Live in manchester, sera congi, newscenter 5. Randy thank you. We head south now. Nicole estaphan is covering the Trump Campaign this morning. Nicole good morning, the Trump Campaign also burning the midnight oil, and the, in the final hours of this race after a stop h they flew to michigan for an overnight rally. You have one magnificent chance to beat this corrupt, rigged system, and to deliver justice for every forgotten man and forgotten woman and forgotten child. At the rally last night trump claimed patriots Quarterback Tom Brady had called to say that he voted for the gop nominee and read a letter from the past coach Bill Belichick professing the polls just opening a few minutes ago. I can tell you the lines are long. Nicole estaphan, newscenter 5. Emily thank you. We want to take you live to virginia right now. That is senator tim kaine voting there in his home state. He is a u. S. Senator from virginia. A candidate for Vice President on the ticket with Hillary Clinton. And video a bit scratchy there, but we know that hes voting there. Hillary clinton will be voting in new york later weighing in. They have seen a lot in their time in politics so here is what they will be watching for today. North carolina and New Hampshire, the polls close at 7 30 and 8 00 p. M. In these states if trump wins both we could be in for a long night. Second the romney stage. He got his clock cleaned by obama in 2012 winning only 206 electoral votes, if trump loses any one of these states, hes done. So its not been great for Hillary Clinton in the early voting. If its down again, it can be a good night for trump. Three things to watch, pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and michigan. They havent voted. There is no early voting, and all three states are a factor in who wins the white house. Some of the first votes in New Hampshire, already cast this morning this is video from Dixville Notch, one of three communities that voted at midnight. Hillary clinton took Dixville Notch with four trump won mills field with 16 votes and you may remember nicksville notch has picked the winner in three of the last four contests. Randy there is a tight race for the senate as Democrat Maggie hassan hopes to unseat kelly ayotte for the senate, and Erika Tarantal is tracking the candidates final pitch. The country. Also one of the most expensive. Both candidates out in full force to convince voters why they are right for New Hampshire. There is a clear choice in this election. Do we keep going with a senator who repeatedly votes with the corporate special interests . No or a new senator who sides with the people of New Hampshire. I will be standing up and working hard for them. I am one of the most bipartisan hampshire. I will stand up as that independent voice for the people of New Hampshire and fight for them. The outcome of this race could help to determine the balance of power in the senate. Real clear politics averages so each party has 46 seats that are either safe, leaning that way or not up, and that means eight seats up for grabs so the democrats could gain a majority here. And as for the house, real clear politics, gives republicans 224 seats, and either safe or leaning gop. Only 21 popups, the house should remain under republican control. Massachusetts voters are making decisions today on four statewide ballot questions, and the eyes doug meehan is in boston this morning with a closer look at whats at stake here in the commonwealth. Good morning, randy. As you mentioned, massachusetts voters facing four different ballot questions, and millions of dollars being spent on both sides. A lot of that money coming from out of state, so lets break them down. Charter schools. A yes vote would allow up to 12 approvals for either new Charter Schools or expanded enrollment at existing schools every year. Question three deals with confining farm animals. A yes vote bans any practice that prevents pig, castles and hens from lying down or turning around freely, and the one that everybody is talking, about question four, which will decide if Recreational Marijuana becomes legal here in favor legalization which means that voter turnout will have a big impact on the outcome of this referendum. There is also question one you will be dealing with today. A yes vote would authorize the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to award a second slot parlor, but its very specific. An area near Suffolk Downs is the only location that fits the qualifying description. Were live in Jamaica Plains, doug meehan, Wcvb Newscenter 5.

First take a look at these temperatures. You want to layer up as you are heading out. 38 in boston, and 27 degrees, as you are heading out the door in right now at 4 00 newscenter 5 at 4 00.

And if you are voting today, its cold out, bundle up. This morning for sure. Its all about the layers today because as cold as it is out there, you are going to be like wanting to linger outside. Take a little extra longer . Right. The lineup was so long, i couldnt get back. Right. All right. It will be a really nice afternoon, around here, and you know across the country, quiet overall in this election day, and lots of warm temperatures, and some rain from the gulf coast scattered towards the chicago area, and that is where we have the wet weather today, and a big ridge of High Pressure with the jet stream is pushing that warmth in here today, and so we warm up nicely this afternoon. It does not last. Notice the jet stream taking another dip to the south over the northeast as we get towards the end of the week, and so our temperatures will respond. Average high this time of year today, and still above average. Tomorrow, and then we trend below towards the end of the week. At least we have got the sunshine out there today. Clear skies. Sun up in just a few minutes at 6 27, it will be a bright, sunny day, but it is cold this morning, we have got readings in the 20s in orange and jaffrey and nashua, and bedford at 26, 20s down to the south coast new bedford, so a lot of frost out there this morning, and you can see were starting to warm things up aloft because the airport, where we take thousand feet up and 40 degrees there. Warming up from the top down, were going to do that today, and 38 in boston and low 30s on the cape. Temperatures slow to climb, as the polls open, still around 30 degrees, and by midday, it is near 60, and as the polls close it is near 50 degrees, just partly cloudy skies later on this afternoon. And a lot of sunshine today, looking for highs in the lower 60s. Worcester on into boston, and as 50s with a westerly wind on cape cod. You can see how clear it is here. Big area of High Pressure dominating our weather today, and off to the west, mentioned the shower near the chicago area and you can see its a scattered line of showers, stretching down to st. Louis and memphis and this is what were watching for tomorrow, and out ahead of that, the clouds first increase overnight, and the temperatures are not going to drop as much. By tomorrow, were only down in the 40s in most areas, so not as cold tomorrow, but clouds from the getgo, a couple of showers some of the morning hos, down as a wave of low pressure develops along it, and that may enhance some of the rain potential down along the south coast and the cape where we could see more than a quarter of an inch. Otherwise it looks like its under a tenth of an inch in most areas so not a washout tomorrow but during morning hours, a couple of showers, and then as we get towards lunchtime, thats when i see the rain shifting in, and that drops south, and we clear things out overnight and into thursday, and temperatures start to cool down on thursday, and the winds pick up and brings in the coldest air. Blustery on saturday. I dont like that word. Sunshine and 40s. It feels like its in the 30s all day long. Winter is coming. We will enjoy today.

Lets go to the maps and check your ride. Still clearing a crash on 24 northbound, accident by route 139, and in the final stagesno up to 128. And slow ride on the expressway. 30 to 35 braintree to boston and delays on the pike, and right now 15 to 20. 495 to 128.

The officer is at the hospital. The driver did stay on the scene, and no charges have been announced. And right now six young people are facing charges after a violent confrontation with police in cambridge, Police Forced to use pepper spray to get a crowd under control at the an estimated 1,000 people were there for a meet and greet with rapper, designer jalen brown. Fans waiting for hours for that 5 30 event, and when it did not happen as scheduled, thats when police say things got out of control. Bricks and glass thrown at officers and pepper spray dispersed, some witnesses say there should have been a better plan for police to gain control. It is a better way to disperse the crowd than to use me. Everyone had to suffer from them. They were charged with trespassing and Disorderly Conduct and disturbing the peace. Your economy.

Three Malden High School students win a dress code battle. They addressed the School Committee challenging a ban on head wraps. The students arranged they are not disruptive and are associated with both religious values and cultural expression. The School Committee voted unanimously to overturn that ban.
