Here’s what to watch on the eve of Election Day 2024

Election Day is nearly upon us. In a matter of hours, the final votes in the 2024 presidential election will be cast. History will be made regardless of who wins. America will either elect its first woman president in Democrat Kamala Harris or its first person convicted of a felony in Republican Donald Trump. And in a deeply divided nation, the election is a true toss-up. We know that there are seven battleground states that will ultimately decide the outcome. But major questions loom about the timing of the results, the makeup of the electorate, the influx of misinformation — even the possibility of political violence.
