Election Day[]

Many sources were predicting a very close election. CBS, NBC and CNN were predicting a win for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, while FOX News and the Sean Hannity Show was predicting that Republican candidate Marco Rubio would win the election. All sources were predicting that this election would be the most voted election in U.S. History. Green Party candidate Jill Stein made a surprising win in California, Oregon, and Nevada. Her win in those three states slitted up the Democratic vote, giving a really close win for Marco Rubio.
