Presidential election results 2020

The state of Texas hasn't gone to a Democratic presidential candidate since 1976, but CNN's Brian Todd spoke to Democratic voters in Houston who are hoping to reverse that trend.

"Enough is enough... I've got grandkids and I'm worried about their future and we can't have no more of that," voter John Smith told CNN outside of a Houston polling place of the prospect of four more years with President Trump in the White House.

Smith said of Trump, "I think he wants to be King. I really do. I think if he get in there and win again, that he might change the amendments and [create] unlimited terms on the President."

Despite partisan positions, Todd reported that the crowds gathering are largely peaceful, though passionate, about their respective candidates.

"This place is pulsating with energy. These people are not content to just come out and vote. They want to really engage in the art of dueling rhetoric, dueling campaign speeches, dueling shouting matches," Todd said, calling the Houston environment "part campaign polling place and part Woodstock."

CNN’s Brian Todd reports:

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden just spoke moments ago in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, addressing a large crowd on a street that cheered and shouted support at him. Cries of "We love you" and "Uncle Joe" were heard, among others.

Biden told the crowd, "We're going to have more people vote this year than any time in American history," saying he's been told to expect over 150 million people to vote.

He said voters between the ages of 18-30 are turning out in big numbers and understands that "54% of the vote so far is women." 

Biden continued to criticize President Trump, telling the crowd: 

He concluded his speech by telling the group that from Philadelphia he'll be traveling back home to Wilmington, Delaware, where he'll be for election night.

Watch the moment:

At least 2,893,295 Coloradans turned out to the polls as of 10 a.m. local time, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a virtual news conference on Tuesday.

Griswold said the turnout "is that 76.6% of active registered voters, so that is really high. It's very exciting.”

Griswold said the state surpassed the 2016 voter turnout this morning.

She detailed voter turnout in the state, saying it included at least 930,452 from registered Democrats, 833,215 from registered Republicans, and 1,088,369 from unaffiliated voters. "So, we're just seeing continued high voter engagement," she said. 

Griswold added that they expect to report 70 to 80% of the total ballots cast tonight.

Griswold also reminded voters that eligible Coloradans can still register and vote today at any voting center in the state. Coloradans can drop off their ballots at a ballot dropbox or voting center

When asked about voter security the Secretary of State said, "everything is going really well" and that there were no incidents to report. She also added that the state was working with the National Guard to help monitor and protect the election support system.

"I'm in the office right now we are here with the National Guard and our security team monitoring all networks.," Griswold said. 

Griswold also said there were no physical security issues to report other than one incident yesterday that included two men in military clothes filming voters at a drop box and a male with open carry. Griswold said police were dispatched and the incident is being investigated by the Attorney General. She also said there was no major campaign disinformation to report. 

Ballots in Colorado have to be received by 7 p.m. local time. 

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Georgia is having a “successful” election day so far.

“Our November action plan was to encourage absentee voting,” Raffensperger said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

 Raffensperger said that two counties had operation issues that were initiated at the “precinct level.”  

"They have addressed those and resolved those,” he added.   

The issues were in Spalding County, located in west central Georgia south of Atlanta, and Morgan County, in north central Georgia east of Atlanta. 

Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s Voting System Implementation Manager, described the issues in Spalding and Morgan as “data set issues” in both cases.   

“There were 18 polling locations that were affected in Spalding and seven in Morgan. Four of the ones in Morgan have been hard reset and are going fine. The other eight in Spalding did a hard reset and are fine. But let’s make one thing very clear, they were using ballot activation codes. Voting did not stop, it might have slowed down for a second to figure out what to do. This office will work closely with the Spalding elections director,” Sterling told said at the press conference.   

“Morgan jumped on it very quickly and used the initial backups that this state had outlined for them to do which was the ballot activation codes. They said there were no real backups in Morgan at all and in Spalding we saw some," Sterling said.  

“We have three teams out there doing the hard resets. It takes about a minute each stop it. It’s still a big county.”  

Raffensperger told CNN that Georgia has not had any malware or cybersecurity issues in the state so far, and also told CNN that they have not heard of any legal challenges to any absentee mail ballots as of this afternoon.  

Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s presidential campaign projected confidence on a public Election Day briefing call, saying “it is clear we are winning.” 

Campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said that they are “confident” about their path to victory and “clear-eyed” on what will come in when. The campaign is staying consistent in its message that it believes the winner will be known tonight. 

They emphasized multiple times during the call that they do not need to win Florida and Pennsylvania to get to 270 electoral votes, providing several different pathways to victory. 

If the campaign does not win Pennsylvania, they see a path to victory that includes winning Michigan and Wisconsin along with either Florida, North Carolina or Arizona.

Without either Pennsylvania or Florida, their path to victory includes winning Michigan, Wisconsin and either Arizona or North Carolina. That being said, Dillon said they believe Pennsylvania is a place where they are "far ahead." 

Dillon touted that the campaign sent 32 million texts and knocked on 1.3 million doors in the final Get Out the Vote weekend of the election. 

In terms of the election process itself, the campaign’s Bob Bauer reported "minimal issues" with voting across the country saying that matters are “proceeding really well.” 

State election data shows at least 996,970 Iowans cast their ballot early, either in person or by mail. That’s about 48% of registered voters and 63% of those that voted in the 2016 election.

Almost 41,000 people across the state voted on Monday.

Registered Democrats made up 45% of the early voters. Registered Republicans made up 33% of early voters and 21% were unaffiliated. 

Polls close at 10 p.m. ET (9 p.m. CT.) Absentee ballots can be returned via mail until Nov. 9 as long as they’re postmarked by Nov. 2.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris spoke to reporters as she arrived at Detroit's airport this afternoon. 

"Here we are, back in Detroit — it's Election Day, I'm so happy to be back here," Harris said.

The candidate spoke briefly to press and took questions before heading off to local stops. 

"I want to remind everybody obviously that the polls close at 8 o'clock tonight," she said. "The path to the White House and the path to determining who will be the next President of the United States without question runs right through Michigan."

Sen. Harris took a question on what her message would be to those who are on edge about potential unrest tonight.

"Have faith in the American people. I do strongly believe that we - whoever we vote for - will defend the integrity of our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. And that there are certain lines that no matter who you vote for, they won't cross," she said.

North Carolina’s election results will be delayed by at least 45 minutes after the board of elections extended voting at four locations that were having problems this morning.

The State Board of Elections voted on Tuesday to extend voting at four precincts that opened late on Election Day.

The NCSBE voted 3-2 to extend a polling place in Sampson County, near Fayetteville, for 45 minutes after the precinct experienced printer issues.  

The extension means that results statewide will be delayed by at least 45 minutes tonight, holding results until all polls have closed. 

The board also voted 3-2 to keep a second Sampson County precinct open for 24 minutes, a Cabarrus County precinct open for 17 minutes, and a Guilford County precinct open for 34 minutes.

Any voter that shows up at theses precincts after 7:30 p.m. ET would vote a provisional ballot.

CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux reports:

In response to earlier reports of robocalls targeting Flint voters with misinformation, Sheldon Neeley, Mayor of Flint, Michigan, issued a statement saying: 

Earlier, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel flagged via Twitter that a misinformation robocall was targeting Flint voters, telling them that if the line is too long they should leave and come back tomorrow.

She said this was categorically false because voters must be in line by 8 p.m. tonight to have their votes count.
