Election Day 2024: Live results and analysis
The big day is finally here: Tuesday, Nov. 5, is Election Day across the U.S. Millions of people will head to the polls today - joining more than 80 million who already voted early or by mail - to decide who controls everything from the White House to Congress to state and local governments.
All eyes are, of course, on the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The election will likely come down to seven key swing states - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - where the polls are razor-close.

Notable firsts that could make history on Election Day
The stage is set for a historic 2024 election: Vice President Kamala Harris could be the first female president and first president of South Asian descent while former President Donald Trump could be only the second president to win non-consecutive terms, as well as the first president convicted of a crime.
But the roundup of notable "firsts" are not limited to the presidential ticket. In fact, there is a plethora of additional historic firsts that can result from various branches of this year's federal election.
ABC News is projecting that Trump is expected to win Indiana's 11 electoral votes. That is not a surprise. In previous elections, he won the state by 57 percent to 38 percent over Clinton in 2016, and 55 to 32 over Biden in 2020.

We have our first presidential race projections of the night
Now that all polls have closed in Vermont and Kentucky, ABC News is projecting that Harris will win Vermont's three electoral votes, and that Trump will win Kentucky's eight votes. Of course, this should come as no surprise; according to the final 538 forecast in these two states, there was a less than 1 in 100 chance of either state flipping its support from the party it backed in 2020.

Ballot-printing issues cause long lines in Arizona county
There are "residual issues" including long lines at the polls in Apache County, Arizona, after the machines that print ballots "did not work as planned" Tuesday morning, state officials said.
The countywide issue was fixed earlier in the day and most sites in the county are "up and running well but as we understand at this moment, there are still some residual issues out in Apache County," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "We're doing our best to work with county election officials there to see if we can resolve any of the remaining problems."
Rita Vaughan, the elections director for Apache County, told ABC News that "all polling places have remained open and voting has continued all day for registered voters who want to cast their ballots."
