With Polls Now Closed in All States Except for Alaska, Clinton Leads Trump 209 to 172 Electoral Votes
Florida OKs Medical Marijuana as Nine States Vote on Pot
Floridians with a debilitating medical illness - as determined by a state physician -- will soon be able to use medical marijuana, after voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot provision legalizing it on Tuesday.
Just two years after the state rejected a similar measure, a vast majority of Florida voters cast ballots in favor of Amendment 2, according to an early count posted by Florida's Secretary of State, exceeding the 60 percent threshold needed to approve the legislation and insert an amendment into the state constitution that would allow people with cancer, epilepsy, and other serious conditions to use the substance if their doctor recommends it.
Nine states are voting on how to handle marijuana use on Tuesday, with five states voting on full legalization and four states weighing medical marijuana on the ballot.
History Made: First African-American Woman Elected to Congress From Delaware
Lisa Blunt Rochester made history tonight as the first woman and first African-American to be elected to Congress from Delaware. Rochester is no stranger to firsts and no stranger to politics. She was the first black woman to serve as Delaware's Secretary of Labor, and as Delaware's first African-American Deputy Secretary of Health and Social Services and State Personnel Director, where she investigated the Delaware State Police for racial and sexual discrimination.
The mother of two college grads made jobs, affordable education, women's health and equal pay, and preventing gun violence key pillars of her campaign.
Her father, Ted Blunt, also served as Wilmington City Council president.
Democrats are 'Much More Nervous'
While the Clinton Campaign and top surrogates insist they still have a path to 270 and are hopeful their firewall of Pennsylvania, Colorado, Michigan and will hold.
Top Democrats who have been invited to watch with the Clinton team acknowledge they're "much more nervous."
One person who is in a small room off the main floor of the Javits Center where the Clinton watch party is said the mood is "quiet." Another Democrat just looked stunned and shook his head.
UPDATE: NBC News projects that Clinton has won Colorado.
NBC News Exit Poll in Virginia: Why So Close for Clinton?
More than six in 10 Virginian voters are bothered by Hillary Clinton's use of private email.
Virtually all Trump voters said they were bothered by Clinton's use of a private email server while she was U.S. Secretary of State. But a sizable minority of Clinton voters were bothered, as well. About a third of Clinton voters in Virginia were bothered at least some by her use of private email.
But helping Clinton is the fact that she is holding her own with veterans and those serving in the U.S. military, a group that typically votes reliably for Republicans. And more Virginians think she would be the better commander in chief and better able to handle foreign policy.
North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr Wins Reelection
Sen. Richard Burr will win reelection, NBC News projects, pulling out a win in a tough battle with Democrat Deborah Ross.
With polls tight up until Election Day, even operatives in Burr's own party were privately unsure about his chances after he ran what many Republicans said was a frustratingly lackluster and flat-footed campaign. But the typically red lean of the state proved to be too much for Ross, who, as a former state rep and head of the state's ACLU chapter, was attacked as too liberal by Republicans.
'Rural America is basically screaming at us'
Clinton is running out of runway in Florida to win the state, NBC's Chuck Todd says.
"I don't see the path forward for her in Florida," Todd said on NBC's special Election Night broadcast.
He added this nugget: "The last time a democrat lost Florida and won the White House was Bill Clinton."
"Rural America is basically screaming at us, 'stop overlooking us!'" Todd said.
The Veteran NBC anchor added, "What we underestimated was the depth of the anger."
