- Story Text: Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was greeted and cheered by supporters after she voted near her New York home early on Tuesday (November 8).
Accompanied by her husband Bill Clinton, Hillary voted at approximately 8:05 EDT (1305 GMT) at a polling station located at the Grafflin School in Chappaqua, New York.
After casting her vote, the former secretary of state and her husband, former President Bill Clinton shook hands and greeted supporters.
Outside the school, Clinton supporter Deborah Sachare said, "Growing up as a little girl in a suburb of New York, I never thought I could be president. And then really through my lifetime watching this happen, it's becoming very real."
In a battle centered largely on the character of the candidates, Clinton, 69, a former secretary of state and first lady, and Donald Trump, 70, a New York businessman, made their final, fervent appeals to supporters late on Monday to turn out the vote.
A Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation poll gave Clinton a 90 percent chance of defeating Trump and said she was on track to win 303 electoral college votes out of 270 needed, to Trump's 235.
Trump, who planned to vote later in the morning in Manhattan, began Election Day with a ritual call to the "Fox & Friends" morning news show.
Each then hoped to hold an evening victory rally about a mile in New York City.
The final week of campaigning was a grinding series of get-out-the-vote rallies across battleground states where the election is likely to be decided. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
