Polling place at the department of Public Health through the doors you can cast your ballot and have you until 8 00 tonight to get here. After an election that polarized our country for many months we are down to two hours to vote. We heard from those that want hillary. That could be extra special yes. And those that want trump . I want him to ease Legal Immigration that is important. And those that had such sustain didnt pick any. That is what my heart tells me to do. To not vote for any president ial candidate. Regardless the numbers from center city are big. We can tell from the trajectory there are more votes than certainly the last president ial election. That is linda haan at 10th and locust at jefferson hospital. Is there is a huge turnout of a demographic not used to seeing. A tremendous amounts of young voters. Its also been an election that all ables are involved in. The kids Independence Charter School took over a portion of south broad to remind you to vote. The only problem we thought of at the vine and broad polling place we were told that two machines broke this morning, people chose to wait and be late for work. They were not missing this vote. Certainly nice to see the young people getting involved and through the doors is where you can cast your ballot here at the department of Public Health and i am told by people working the polls if you have not cast your ballots by 8 00 as long as you are in line by 8 00 they let you cast your vote. Bob brooks, channel 6 action news. Thank you. Lets get a suburban perspective from action News Reporter jeff, live at cheltenham high school. How has it been there . Reporter jim, it is heavy some some places, we are told there are young lines in new hanover, but here at the high school there is absolutely no line you can go in and vote and be out in a few minutes. Officials here is a there has already been tremendous turnout. Nearly 70 of all registered voters have cast their ballots at this precinct and the voters we spoke with say they are determined to have their voices heard. Its awful close it scares me a little. One reason this couple from jenkin town made it to work. We had lots of people in line before 7 00, before 7 00 a. M. And we have seen a constant flow. Officials reported heavy turnout and voters seemingly anxious to have their voices heard. I think there is a lot of corruption and stuff going on and i think there are a lot of things that should have been taken care of in the last four years. This former never trumper was won over by the candidate because of his ideas. When he started coming out with policies, i agree with the policies. For reagan who became a citizenship this year. Donald trumps rhetoric made it easy. I dont think i could vote for this guy so i go to the other guy. Need someone that is a good representative and leader for our country. I spoke with officials here in montgomery county, they say there were a few broken machines throughout the day, those were quickly replaced but no serious irregularities. Channel 6 action news. Jeff, thank you. Hillary clinton voted this morning at a school near her home near chappaqua, new york, the only comment, ill do the very best i can if im fortunate enough to win today. Her aides say she has written a victory and concession speech. This is donald and Melania Trump voting this morning. Trump refused to say today if he would accept the results should he lose. He said well see how things play out. Lets go live to the Javits Center in new york. Clinton headquarters and Monica Malpass. Reporter hi jim, five months after clinching the nomination in philadelphia. Hillary clinton is hoping to win it all here tonight. She has been a lawyer, secretary of state, first lady and a senator. And now she is cautiously optimistic to see if she with add president and commander and chief to the list. Federal state and local officers are working to prevent violence from bomb sniffing dogs to metal detecters. They are doing sound and light checks and recording every historic detail. Hillary clinton will come here tonight to see if she shattered the Glass Ceiling and pennsylvania is key to success. There are hours before the polls close and we are doing everything we can. Former congresswoman is a clinton inlaw and she says that hillary earned it. The respect she had the senate was amazing, she really studies and knows her stuff and works it and was not a show horse at all in the senate. She worked hard. Voters stood three and four deep in places to try and vote. Making their voices heard. Being part of the democratic process. Its messy. Its our privilege and our right. So now the Javits Center is set behind me, thousands of media are in place and polling places are closing soon. Im Monica Malpass well be with you throughout the evening live from the Javits Center back to you jim. Just 17 blocks away is trump headquarters, Rick Williams is here. Slowly but surely, donald trump supers and surrogates are filing into the Hotel Ballroom for tonights watch party and the she told me she couldnt wait to vote today because she knows donald trump has a clear path to victory, a narrow one for sure but certainly a path. And it may go through pennsylvania. I really firmly believe that donald trump will win, because people are fed up with business as usual in washington, they want a change someone that is not beholden to the special interest of washington and the only person that donald trump is beholden to is the american people. That is what they want. They are confident that trump can win pennsylvania without the strong showing in the states largest city, philadelphia. Its how he forms outside of center city that they are banking on. Listen to this assessment. That being said it depends on how bad we lose philadelphia. The numbers i see from the energy im seeing i think we are doing well in northeast philly and the river wards and roxborough and manayunk and a heck of a lot better in the black neighborhoods. Bold predictions from members of the gop and well know for sure in a few short hours. Thank you rick. In pennsylvania the race for senate is a bitter and enormously bitter contest.

Toomey will not be voting until 6 45 tonight in zionsville in the lehigh valley. Mcginty called that another tactic to avoid answering questions whether he supports trump.

Watch this guard barbara gets past three defenders and tripped up but she is not stopped. Pretty goal there. She is like the terminator of the pitch. Will not be denied. A good play there. Thank you ducis. Cmon in, pop pop happy birthday i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help.
