Donald Trump Ends His Campaign By Getting Booed While Voting For Himself

Donald Trump received a less-than-warm welcome at the polls on Tuesday morning when he arrived to cast his ballot.

The GOP presidential nominee, who voted at PS 59, a public school in midtown Manhattan, has been trailing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in his home state’s pre-election polls.

Earlier in the day, anti-Trump protesters were arrested at the school.

Clinton, meanwhile, received a round of applause when she voted earlier Tuesday in Chappaqua, New York. Watch her historic vote below:

Voters braved long lines to vote in New York, where polls close at 9 p.m. 

The Huffington Post presidential forecast model gives Clinton a 98 percent chance of winning. Read more of our live election coverage below: 

In a conference call with reporters, the Election Protection Coalition described reports in several states of voter intimidation or voting machine malfunctions. They have received a substantial number of calls from voters of color, and many of the calls have concerned polling sites not opening on time, broken voting machines and registration issues.

The EPC has heard from a number of voters across the Sunshine State. At the Hollywood Public Library in Broward County, at least one woman did not vote because she was intimidated by a group outside. In Jacksonville, someone entered a polling site and refused to leave. In Miami-Dade County, people were shouting at voters through megaphones.

Eventually, the person who refused to leave the Jacksonville polling site was removed.

Meanwhile, voters in Massachusetts and across Pennsylvania have experienced long lines and machine breakdowns. In Pittsburgh, one polling place had only a single working machine.
