And after a long campaign by today is the day that americans decide who will succeed Barack Obama.
There are several names on the ballots but the two that stand out: the democrat Hillary Clinton and republican Donald Trump, who rely on the company in the race for the White House from the ecologist Jill Stein, the candidate’s mormon Evan McMullin and libertarian Gary Johnson.
The polls are already open. At midnight (19 locations) close the polls on the east Coast but given the size of the country and the time difference to the West Coast, it is a long night ahead. Stay with us:
04h05: Clinton pointed to by the Associated Press as a winner in Washington, Oregon, Hawaii and California, being that the latter is the largest electoral college (55 delegates). in This way, Hillary goes to the front, and another state ‘vital’, of Florida, is touted as a state in favour of Donald Trump, which makes the presidential race even more fierce.
03h57: The New York Times, one of the publications of greatest relevance in the U.S., has a barometer up to date minute-by-minute that predicts the probability of a winner. At this time there seems to be little room for doubt: Trump touted as the likely successor to Barack Obama.
03h35: Donald Trump wins in Ohio, one of the ‘swing states’, and remains in front of the presidential race. However, Hillary Clinton had more votes in the states of Colorado and Virginia, which shortens the difference of the delegates in the Electoral College.
at This time, Trump has in its favor the 169 delegates, against the 131 of Hillary. To win the election, one of them you will need to have a minimum of 270 delegates.
03h30: Record on Twitter. 40 million tweets that have already been published this evening, related to the u.s. elections. In 2012 had been approximately 31 million.
03h15: The republicans will be able to maintain control of the house of Representatives.
03h10: mexican Peso had the biggest drop in the last 20 years, reveals the Financial Times. The positive race of Trump, who promised to build a wall to separate the U.S. and Mexico, will shake the markets.
03h00: Donald Trump leads at this time, the electoral College, with 138 delegates against the 104 of Hillary Clinton. Are needed 270 to win.
02H20: A set of new projections, published by Sky News, put Donald Trump back to the front in the presidential race. The republicans came out the winner in a batch of 13 states, of which only one (albeit vital – New York city) chose Hillary Clinton.
However, it should be noted that Trump is touted as a winner in a state that, supposedly, was not ‘her’, Virginia. If Clinton loses, in addition to Virginia, the state of Florida, victory complicates seriously for the democrat.
This time, Trump follows in the lead with 130 delegates, against 97 of Hillary Clinton.
02h18: New York. In the 'home' of the Trump and Clinton is she who is singled out as the winner.
01h36: Rubio re-elected senator in one of the states with the most matches between Clinton and Trump.
01h27: Trump wins in Alabama, where he was a favorite. Sky News points out that the advantage of Hillary Clinton is 68 against 66 delegates Trump, this at a time that there are still states very important.
01h05: More projections to get: Hillary Clinton with advantage in seven states, while Trump is leading in three.
With these results, Hillary has 68 delegates in the Electoral College, and the Trump of 57. There are, however, still much to decide, with several states still in the 'cue-to-cue'.
00h52: Trump pointed out as the victor in South Carolina and takes advantage in the Electoral College: 33 delegates against all three of Clinton. Are needed 270 to win.
00h31: Projections give victory to the Trump in the state of West Virginia. Republican has 24 delegates against three of Hillary Clinton. Trump with advantage but you are missing the pivotal states for the decision.
00h25: To win are required 270 delegates of the Electoral College. Trump has at this moment 19, Hillary three.
00H24: Hillary Clinton wins the elections in the state of Vermont.
00H23: A survey by the Wall Street Journal revealed that more than half of the voters americans are against the building of the wall that separates the United States from Mexico, promised by Donald Trump.
23H50: The states of Kentucky and Indiana were the first to close the counts. The direction the republican has been confirmed and Trump came out the winner in these two regions.
23: 30: Arrive to reports of a shooting near a polling station in Azusa, California.
22: 30: In 'swing-state' of Colorado, around 15h local (it was 22h in Continental Portugal) some voters had difficulty in voting, with the system to be momentarily down.
The time that Trump was to vote had one of the moments unusual of the night and one of the most commented on social networks.
On the way to the polls, the clothing is the clue to understand who is on the side of whom.
Still the polls, but not vote. A poll Reuters/Ipso shows that is that the majority of americans agree.
Hillary Clinton has already voted. He did it in the morning in Chappaqua, New York.
Donald Trump voted by 11am of the morning new-iorquinas, on the Upper East Side, Manhattan. On arrival, the candidate heard jeers and applause, as the show shared images on Twitter. “Everything is going very well,” he said.
On the day of the polls already there was also controversy. Donald Trump has already dubbed it the electoral system is “fraudulent”. The son of the millionaire, Donald Trump Jr., is accused of violating the electoral law.
it should be noted that, even knowing now who is the next president of the United States of America, this only will take office effective January 20, 2017. Until then, it is Barack Obama who will continue to ‘control operations’.
