at the jacob javits center, we are sandwiched between press. there's so many eyes on this election and all over the world. i want to tell you we're right here on the riser, the only person we're hearing is going to be speaking from that stage is hillary clinton. everyone else, the public, they are all expected to be here outside this place tonight. either way history will be made and it'll be made in new york city tonight. the first female president or thfi outsider never to have held elected office. hillary clinton voted where she lives in chappaqua this morning. snapping selfies and stopping to talk. even though a cbs news analysis says she has a clearer path to the presidency, the former first lady, senator and secretary of state was humbled. >> it is the most humbling feeling, dan, because i know how much responsibility goes with this and so many people

what it means for our country. >> clinton isn't taking anything for granted. she visited the key battleground states of north carolina, pennsylvania and michigan. cbs news has her with 214 electoral votes and trump with 186. with early voting breaking records, it's today's votes that'll decide which party in new york city tonight will be a victory party. >> i'll do the very best i can if if i'm fortunate enough >> reporter: so where will the party be? it'll either be here or over where my colleague bruce leshan is standing by. he's over at trump's headquarters about 20 blocks and a couple of avenues away. hey there, bruce. >> yeah, donald trump absolutely convinced he is going to be holding a victory party here many this hot overcrowded ballroom at the hilton hotel in midtown manhattan. there are a whole lot of trump

battleground states like michigan, florida, north carolina and nevada. but they certainly aren't here in new york. [booing] >> waiting for donald trump and his family -- [ unintelligible ] -- >> his neighbors are angry. [booing] >> voters waited for hours in a line that stretched down the street and around the block. either voted at 6:00 in the morning like every other presidential candidate or if he gets here at 11:00 he should go to the back of the line like every citizen in america. [booing] >> perhaps it is a measure of just how divided this election -- [ unintelligible ] -- but red neighborhoods and blue neighborhoods. >> any trump supporters? >> seriously? >> we do want to win.

could only find a handful of supporters among the hundreds waiting to cast ballots against him. >> i don't want this country to become like france that i left. >> trump supporters outnumbered at least 20 to 1. >> of course i'm not going to vote for him. i'm voting for positive thinking. voting for someone i believe in. >> now nevada a judge rejected a trump campaign complaint alleging that nd voters that had been allowed to vote after the early voting place was supposed to have closed. what are you saying? why are we here the judge asked the republican lawyers. apparently dumbfounded. live at trump campaign headquarters, bruce leshan, wusa9. >> one moment in a rather interesting night that's continuing to fold. thank you, bruce. one of donald trump's sons might have broken new york

of his completed ballot. eric trump wrote it's an incredible honor to vote for my father. he'll do a great job for the usa. he deleted that very same tweet hours after posting it. it seems in new york it's illegal to take a picture in a polling station or share a completed ballot with other potential voters. president obama sent a tweet to his 11 million twitter followers today. it said today progress is on the ballot. go vote and then make your friends, your family and everyone you know the president cast his ballot last month during early voting in his home state of illinois. wikileaks is weighing in one last time. julian assange says he was not trying to influence the outcome of the election by posting hacked e-mails from hillary clinton's campaign. he claims he was just informing the public. assange says he never posted any donald trump material because he never received any. polls in virginia close at

headquarters, volunteers try to solve voter problems just like they did recently in georgia. >> one of the polling places was moved from a predominantly moved black neighborhood to a sheriff's office. we were able to work with folks on the ground, do a petition drive and today that polling location is in a black church. >> blames the loss of the voting rights act of 1965 which prohibited racial dimi presidential election cycle in 50 years and there were some problems that could have been prevented. >> while this may bring with it new challenges, some things remain constant. >> voters are empowered. they want to go vote. they're not going to let this. >> -- they're not going to be denied their right to vote. >> now it's important to note that election protection and the workers there are working

as the 2016 presidential election comes to a close, you'll hear a lot about blue states and red states and electoral votes over the next will it build the path for either hillary clinton or donald trump to become the next president of the united states? garrett haake is here. >> we got to get to 270. there are a lot of different ways to do it. almost all of the maps we might see tonight, all the paths are going to look similar to what we've seen over the last 16 years. very few of the states flip. this is a competitive map. this is the map where we start off.

nearly 252 electoral votes. these are the states that president obama has won. you have a handful of states on the map. clinton's path to victory will look a lot like president obama's path to victory. her campaign expects to see -- i wouldn't say they expect. they're realistic about the possibility they could lose ohio and iowa which president obama won twice. they might flip arizona but they think if they hold on to the rest of those states most critically florida, north carolina, virginia and what they call northeast, that's their path to 270 electoral votes. it gets them comfortably across at 322. now trump has a much tougher road. to start off he's got to flip florida, he's got to flip ohio, he's got to flip iowa and north carolina just to get started. then you find one of the big blue states to pick off. it could be either michigan or potentially pennsylvania which

win. either one of those states would do it or maybe michigan and new hampshire. but, again, he's got to take a state that no republican has won since 1988 if he's going to become president of the united states. >> he's going into this night pretty confident. he seems to think that the polls have not caught this huge number of people that are coming out to support him today. >> yeah. he's got these big crowds they've been having. he physically feels good. he feels there's a sense of the trump campaign's strategy is largely based off something that can't be proven or disproven. they believe there's this huge swath of mostly white, rural, middle class, working class voters who have abandoned both parties who are going to come home tonight for donald trump. while there's no math to back it up, it can't be sort of disproven. >> looks more red than blue.

>> absolutely. the democrats start with such a huge advantage because you assume new york, california, massachusetts. a couple of big states get them to 100 electoral votes out of the gate. >> thanks a lot. >> in northern virginia, voters are seeing new improvements to an election option. it's called curb side voting. voters who have disability can stay in their cars, they make a call, the poll workers bring a ballot to them in the parking lot. in fairfax county there larger yellow signs. the phone number is larger and poll workers say they are very pleased. >> it's a requirement. we don't want anyone not being able to vote because of some physical limitation. >> curbside voting is available at all 243 polling locations. >> are you ready for this election to be over? plenty of people are saying yes. they're doing things to take

>> we find nikki burdine at top golf. they have the lights red and blue. they're ready. >> yeah, i think i found the disney world of the dc area. this is one of the happiest places around. there is no election stress. there is election talk. people are allowed to choose or red ball. because if there is one way to relieve stress, especially election stress, hitting at the range. >> i'm tired of all the arguing. >> judy and her coworkers took their stress out on the range. >> the bays are filled with people. many off work or out of school because of the election. they're trying to focus on something else. >> on facebook or social media, anything.

>> it's the same story from bay to bay here. >> you want to go in and be really positive and look forward to making that vote and unfortunately it just wasn't the case this year. >> they're trying to escape the negativity of this election. >> work out some energy and some frustration. imagine the ball is one of the candidates. >> judy has her hands full. you know it's bad when she'd ra graders than watch more election coverage. >> they say less bad words. >> they're a few years from being able to vote. >> it's not the best election in the past years. >> i think this election is pretty crazy and out of hand. >> these kids are ready for the chance to make their voices count and that's encouraging. >> i think some don't really care too much about it,

our country. >> reporter: voters have been on point with their predictions for the last four presidential elections this county has correctly chosen a winner. later tonight when that winner is chosen and we have our new president the field will be lit up in either blue or red. >> those kids can't vote but they can teach us a thing or two. >> they've been listening to the parents too. absolutely. some people taking it seriously, you think? no excuse not to vote because of the weather.
