Leaders of both parties express optimism as voters across the US cast their ballots, CNN reports After months of election analysis, poll results and pure speculation, Democratic and Republican leaders are making their latest predictions for Election Day, and all are optimistic. Top House Democrats are confident they can secure a comfortable majority while Trump's cabinet members deliver positive messages about the state of the country and what it means to voters. But President Donald Trump himself has privately acknowledged that his party could face a worst-case scenario, sources close to the president said. The first evidence that their confidence was justified will emerge after polls close in Kentucky and Indiana, journalists note. Meanwhile, some areas are reporting problems with voting, forcing polling stations to extend hours or change locations entirely. In Westchester County, New York, voting machines failed to scan up to 250,000 ballots in 332 polling places, the county administrator said. Emergency ballots will be collected by bipartisan election officials and escorted by police to the counting site tonight, Republican Mike Lawler told reporters. On November 3, Americans elect 35 senators, all 435 members of the House of Representatives and governors in 36 states.
