Follow Newsd On  

As America moves to elect its 45th president, lines snaking out of the polling station and around the block have been the reality for voters on election day.

Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump Jr said his father will concede the result if they are “legit and fair.” Trump has repeatedly called the results rigged and said he would keep the public “in suspense” about what he would do following the result.

On Tuesday Trump said, “If I don’t win, I will consider it a tremendous waste of time, energy and money.” He claims to have spent $100 million of his own money however electoral estimates put it closer to $66 million.

Hillary Clinton cast her vote early Tuesday morning in New York alongside her husband Bill.

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine said that Tuesday’s election is a history-making race but he also warned against complacency, saying that democracy always works better when people participate.
