It's Election Day in America.

I'm Hannah Jewell.

Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

Voters are casting ballots today in state and local elections around the country.

Polls opened at 6 a.m. in three key races in New York, Virginia, and New Jersey.

Republicans are hoping to build on their growing support in New Jersey by winning the governor's race.

And in Virginia, voters are poised to select their first female governor, no matter who wins.

That race between Democrat Abigail Spanberger and Republican winsome Earl Sears is being seen as a referendum on the administration of President Donald Trump.

Spanberger rallied her supporters in Richmond yesterday.

So I'm excited because I plan on sending an extraordinary message to the rest of the country.

I plan on ensuring that we don't just win tomorrow,

but that we crush it tomorrow.

That audio comes to us from Forbes.

Earl Sears also spoke at a rally on Sunday,

broadcast on Fox 5, D.C.

I have more than 81 sheriffs who have endorsed me.

Yes, Republicans and Democrats and independents have endorsed me.

We are going to win.

We are going to win.

In New York City, voters are picking their next mayor.
