One of the most polarizing presidential races in recent history reached its end today, with long lines at polling sites across the nation. According to The Washington Post, this suggests that voters could push turnout to new levels in some places, even as many criticized the campaign&rsquo;s harsh and unfavorable tones.

In North Hollywood, California, some voters brought beach chairs to stake out a place in line before dawn. At one polling station in Detroit, people waited up to 90 minutes just to reach the ballot booth. And at Stonewall Middle School in Manassas, Virginia, nearly 170 people were lined up when voting began at 6 a.m.

The number of Hispanics who voted early in Florida this year is about the same as the total number that voted four years ago (<a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/08/hispanic-voters-trump-awakens-a-sleeping-giant-record-turnout-for-latinos.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-november-8-2016-7466" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">according to CNBC</a>, 565,000 Hispanics had voted early as of Saturday). That same story holds true in other heavily Hispanic areas across the country.

According to The New York Times, the Latino vote has the best shot of deciding the election in Florida, where Hispanic voters represent a well-above-average share of the population. &nbsp;

Thirty-one percent of eligible voters will be racial or ethnic minorities&mdash;a number that is up from 29 percent in 2012, according to the Pew Research Center. And the share of non-Hispanic white voters eligible to vote will be the lowest in history, which marks the continuation of a steady decline in white voters over the past three decades

This tiny town has a long-standing tradition of casting votes in presidential elections and announcing the results around midnight. A total of eight votes were tallied shortly after midnight on Tuesday. Hillary Clinton emerged the winner, securing four votes, while Donald Trump won two.

But there&rsquo;s still a silver lining for Trump. Two other tiny New Hampshire towns&mdash;Hart&rsquo;s Location and Millfield&mdash;also voted in the early morning hours, and Trump came out on top in the overall tally from all three towns, with 32 votes to Clinton&rsquo;s 25.

&ldquo;These early results are hardly predictive, but the quirky tradition nevertheless delivers a bit of good news for both candidates,&rdquo; The Atlantic reports.

Anthony&rsquo;s Grave</a>

No matter how you look at it, this election is a historic one. That&rsquo;s why, one by one, dozens of people are stepping forward to place their &ldquo;I Voted Today&rdquo; stickers on Susan B. Anthony&rsquo;s headstone&mdash;partaking of an Election Day tradition that has gained new meaning with the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, the former senator from New York, who could become America&rsquo;s first female president before the day ends.
