Americans to Choose 45th New President

American voters head on Tuesday to the polling stations to cast their vote in the general election that will take place in 50 states, in addition to Columbia district to choose a new president of the United States of America after Barack Obama wraps up his eight-year stint as President of the United States. 
Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton are competing to be the next president of the United States, where the world is waiting for the result's announcement that will be determined by swing states.

Thirty seven states and the District of Columbia allowed some form of early voting where about 40 million voters cast their ballots in Oct. 26th. 
According to reports, turnout at the election is expected to be high as 150 out of 230 million registered voters will cast their ballots which is unprecedented census and greater than the number of people who voted in 2012. 
The turnout among Latin Americans has increased where it could decide the name of the next president due to its ability to determine the result in the states of Florida and Nevada. 
In Florida, registered Democrats led Republicans by 87,000 out of 6.5 million ballots cast, or 1.36% in early voting. Of those almost one million 15.3 % were Hispanic, an 85% increase from 2012 when Hispanics represented 10.9% of early voters. 
The swing states of Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania are considered key for a path to victory on Election Day. 
It is scheduled that polling stations will be opened Tuesday morning and will be closed later in the same day on times determined by each state according to its regulations. 
Vermont will be the first US state to vote at 5 a.m. on US east coast time.

The two US candidates continued their campaign in a number of swing states.
The Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has vowed to be "the president of everyone" both voted for her or against her. She accused her republican rival Donald Trump of fueling divisions among Americans.
