The Associated Press is keeping a page of running updates and stories about the election. Below is the latest update since this was posted:
9:20 a.m.
Lines were long in some places, but few voters heading to the polls early Tuesday appeared to be encountering problems.
Presidential elections usually include sporadic voting problems, such as machines not working properly. Calls to Election Protection, a national voter helpline, included people reporting long lines as a result of machine problems in three precincts in Virginia. And election officials at a handful of precincts in Durham County, North Carolina, were using paper roll books after technical issues with computer check-in.
Ahead of the election, there was anxiety over whether voters would face problems. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said the election was rigged and Democrats warned that Republicans were planning to intimidate voters. There were also concerns about hackers disrupting election systems.

AP = The fix is in!
*SPIT*
I expect that Democrats will vote throughout the morning and into the afternoon.
The Republican surge will occur after 5:00 PM when those voters finish work for the day.

Thank you. In my phone.
Donald Trump, Jr. told CNN's New Day Tuesday that he thinks his father "will remain involved somewhat" if he loses the election. He said he hopes that the energy surrounding his father's campaign "goes back to the people we are trying to fight for, the people who haven't had a voice in a long time."
He said, in retrospect, that "hopefully we shed some light on the process," and enabled people to speak their minds freely, "without being put in some basket, without being boxed in a corner."
Why is Eric talking like they lost?
I’m in S.E. TN and my county always votes heavily Republican. We only have 27,000 registered voters in the entire county and 15,000 voted early, Still, I was at the polling place at 9:00 this morning when it opened and I had to stand in line. My little unincorporated town only has about 1500 residents and I had to stand in line!
As far as Trump support goes, there were Trump signs everywhere and I didn’t see one Clinton sign!
I wish this would be an indicator of the country but I figure it’s not. It’s still encouraging though because I didn’t see even one Clinton supporter that would admit it. In a town this size where everybody knows everybody and knows their business, what few Clinton supporters we have must have voted early to keep from being embarrassed or shunned. LOL
They are obviously asking him curveball questions so they can turn it into a meme. I’m surprised that Eric would fall for it.
Well I’m sure he is being asked will your father accept the results?
And notice the fragmentary quotes. Beware!!
It doesn't take "widespread" voter fraud. It only takes a small portion to throw an election.
I voted at 9 am this morning outside of Fredericksburg, Virginia. We are the end of the commuter line for govt workers/contractors in Northern Virginia.
Very quiet this year compared to 2012 and 2008. I voted at the same time each election.
Might drive by later to check the lines.
Was he responding to some hypothetical questions?
Or just one Soros to throw the election.
Widespread... no. Highly targeted and in key areas of the country... yes.
Yup! My wife & I will be voting this evening. Work just gets in the way!
GO TRUMP!
