It's #ElectionDay, and it's an election like no other. Here's what to expect when it comes to election results.
We might not know a winner Tuesday night. The ballot counting is probably going to take a little more time than we are used to. Remember: every vote is being counted, whether it was cast in person or via an absentee ballot.
Democrats dominated mail-in voting ahead of Election Day, while polling has shown Donald Trump's supporters are more likely to vote Tuesday. Independent voters made up only 10 percent of the early vote.
In states where day-of votes are counted first, you might see Republicans in the lead early in the night before absentee ballots, which are expected to favor Democrats, are counted. In the Rust Belt states, look for a "blue shift," and in the South, look for a "red shift."
A handful of states could decide if Donald Trump or Joe Biden is elected president. Keep an eye on these states as results are coming in. #ElectionDay bit.ly/3kVjvrQ

Washington Bureau chief @SusanPage shares the story of how Joe Biden visited his son Beau's grave on Election Day. Beau urged his father to run for president in 2016.
.@SusanPage says legal scholars tell us these cases filed by the Trump campaign don't have solid grounding.

What purpose do they serve?
