NEW YORK — After a grueling and unpredictable cycle, election day voting has begun, with voters deciding today to make either Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton the country’s next president.

We should first start getting results from the race for the White House after polls on the East Coast close at 7 p.m. EST on Tuesday.

What is going to happen?

The Real Clear Politics electoral map — based off of polling averages — indicates the race couldn’t be much tighter, with Clinton on track to win about 272 electoral votes and Trump likely to win about 266.
