Election Day 2024: Live results and analysis
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.

Law enforcement agencies prepared for unrest beyond Election Day
Law enforcement officials say they're prepared to deal with unrest on Election Day, but expect the threat to continue in the days that follow.
Security fencing surrounds the Capitol in Washington, Monday, Nov. 4, 2024.
Election workers across the country are being bombarded with threats and law enforcement agencies nationwide are dedicating "substantial resources" to ensure public safety during the election, a new threat assessment obtained by ABC News says.
"It is more likely that in the aftermath of the election results and the counting of the Electoral College votes, that individuals who believe that the election was rigged, stolen, or unfairly decided could decide to conduct lone offender or lone wolf attacks in response," said Javed Ali, the former senior counterterrorism coordinator at the National Security Council and now an associate professor at the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.

FBI says election threats appear to originate from Russia
The FBI says in a statement that they are aware of the bomb threats and "many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains."
"None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far," the FBI said.
The threats are in several states, according to the agency.
"As always, we urge the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity to state or local law enforcement, or submit tips to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or online at tips.fbi.gov."

President Biden to spend Election Day at White House with no public events
For the better part of 2023 and 2024, President Joe Biden plotted a course to Nov. 5, 2024. As the incumbent, the veteran politician was the presumptive Democratic nominee, clinching enough delegates in March, and locked in a tight race with former President Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden walks toward the Oval Office as he arrives at the White House from Camp David, Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024, in Washington.
But instead of spending Election Day preparing for an evening speech, the president's daily schedule is empty beyond his daily briefing by aides: No public events.
The president and first lady Jill Biden will spend election night watching the election results in the White House residence with "long time aides and senior White House staff," according to a White House official.
