>> have to have michigan and have to have wisconsin. it looks like she has new mexico and she will come in with a lot of electoral votes from the west coast. >> the one thing you and i have been talking about, but the polls seem to be wrong in so many of these states like florida for instance. how do you explain that? we have a lot of polls and i wonder if there is a problem with under reporting. people either didn't respond to polls or say the true poll. >> reporter: people were not really polling those people. you were doing early voting and things like that and that's the surprise we have all been waiting for. >> and with so much early voting and there is such a long cycle that polling can be difficult to capture that. >> reporter: usually in the past elections it is called by nevada, a must win for trump. the results could come in slowly at clark county and we could be in for a long evening. >> nevada, arizona and new hampshire if they go for trump there is little chance that hillary clinton will be the president. >> thank you for joining us. let's send it to -- i guess we are going back to you in the >> romona: we'll take it, lydia. let's go to our reporter carl monday. >> denise: there were concerns and there may be voter suppression. >> reporter: on a day many expected the worst things went smoothly. we spent the day looking for trouble but didn't find it. when a man walked into bethany baptist church he was told he was in the right place. stride. >> he didn't seem intimidating or did he seem like somebody that would -- >> no, he did not. he was no threat. >> reporter: after the man left someone said he threatened to return with a gun. sheriff deputies investigated, but they cooperate substantiate the threat. at times observers seem to outnumber voters. they were passing out campaign back off. >> they said because i have my hand up like this i was flagging people down. i wasn't. >> reporter: we found these two election observers outside the polling place at the fair fax rec center. despite the polling place chaos no major problems in cuyahoga county. >> no intimidation at all?
