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.

Unsurprisingly, ABC News projects that Trump will win in South Carolina, a state that has been reliably red in presidential races since at least 1984. (Republicans won the state in 1980 also, but not by a very large margin.)
Also in the Palmetto State tonight, a ballot referendum that would prohibit noncitizens from voting in state and local elections, one of a raft of such measures around the country. With 23% of the expected vote reporting, the measure looks almost sure to pass: 84% of voters have voted in favor, with 16% opposed.
