fourteen hours to go. that's when the polls will open here in wisconsin. despite a record number of voters casting ballots in early voting... tomorrow's voter turn-out will ultimately choose the next president of the united states. fox6's myra sanchick is in the newsroom to tell you how the candidates spent their last day of campaigning, and what it means. the polling numbers from fox and others show the race may be tightening. that means no rest on the campaign trail. by looking at which candidate is going to which state you can guess what a campaign is thinking. trump is in north carolina, ohio, then grand rapids, michigan. clinton is in north carolina as well after pennsylvania. michigan too. all key battleground states. what about wisconsin? she thinks she's in pretty good shape. but she's sending her v.p candidate who's been here a half dozen times which tells us she's not positive. she wants to be sure. donald trump has been here

candidate a few times . donald trump starting this last day of the campaign in sarasota. she's not going to get in folks. i don't see it. i don't see it. hillary clinton, in pittsburgh. i'm here to ask you to vote for yourself, for your families. vote for your futures ten electoral votes in a close election can mean the difference between who's president and who isn't. and so i think when trump tries to figure out the math. it's like a puzzle. moving the states around, figure out how to get to 270 , ten votes from wisconsin suddenly become really important. of course the candidates themselves and their appearances are only part of the picture. a massive effort on both sides to get out the vote is underway as well. live in the newsroom myra sanchick fox6 news ted thanks myra turning to wisconsins u-s senate race now-- democrat russ feingold is making
