When cole was arrested he told officials he was also responsible for the killings back in 2003 of four people at a motorcycle shop.

A woman was arrested from queens described as emotionally disturbed. Officials are trying to figure out what they were fighting about.

A us company changing the size of a product overseas. Two of the toblerone bars will have gaps like the pyramid. They are doing it because the british pound has lost value compared to the u. S.

Toblerone is trending on twitter. They were trying to explain to you why they did it. All right. Less chocolate, more money. The polls are going to open up in a few minutes. But people in the midwest have been casting ballots for a while already. Well have more coverage on the election coverage. Dozens of working are already here helping to process the ballots.

There is some traffic to watch out for your morning commute. Well start with traffic in downtown san jose. It doesnt look bad right now. We are coming around the corner. This is not the worst we have seen. I can put up a map for you and show you that 101 is slowing and after 280. As you look into peninsula and east bay. The east bay does have traffic here. There was an accident at 8th street heading to san lleandro all the way down and as we look east, there is a direction from berkeley. No major problems getting down to the mcarthur maze. It is about a 20minute delay before you make it onto the span. Thank you. The polls open here in california less than a half hour from right now. Polls have already opened in most of the states across the country. We have been watching. Turnout is projected to be higher than 2012 when millions of americans cast their ballots. This is a video of line in north carolina. Its one of the key Battle Ground states in the president ial election, and sorry its neck and neck race. New hampshire have already opened and closed in that little down of dictionville town. In a head to head count, trump had a 7 point lead over clinton. We have in our studio, good to see you. Hillary clinton has already voted. We are waiting to see donald trump vote. Is there any sort of strategy about who goes first and gets the attention and who goes later . I think they both get attention. You want to time it so it gets the news cycle. If we miss it and they are not on the footage now, they make the next show. If you are a candidate, its always special to look at the ballot. Its a reminder to everybody else that in the end after all the bologna about the campaign and the negativity despite what trump might have said, this is a democracy and this is what we all do and this is how the system works and they are symbolically a representation of that. Pretty amazing to see your name as a candidate for president. So im sure i cant even imagine that. I have to ask you because here in california, obviously, i think every single time the decision is made before lots of us are able to go out to the polls is disheartening for people and sometimes affects voter turnout. Do you think thats going to be the case . I know for me, as people know Hillary Clinton is going to win the election. They might vote for someone else because it wont matter such as a libertarian. But i think the california ballot proposition wise that affects peoples lives more than who is president. That will be very foolish to blow off this very thing. It is obvious because the president ial race is the eye candy that has gotten our attention for the last 2 years. So it is a little bit of an anticlimax. Do you believe it will be close . I dont think it will be decided at all. What im saying is that this california, i will say it now. Im going to call it. Ms. Clinton is going to win california. There was no question about that. There never was. If you are a california voter, that part is already decided and maybe you feel less enthusiastic about it. But there are a number of ballot issues. If you did your homework and read the series, the catalog that you got, local ballot measures as well, the soda tax in oakland, the marijuana initiative, the Death Penalty, a couple on the Death Penalty that are contradictory. If you havent voted yet, go read that book and check everything out. There are some things that are designed to confuse you. These things do matter. It kind of reminds me of the samesex marriage. There are some things that are confusing. Thank you, joe, well have you here all morning and well continue to talk about this election day. In just about a half hour, voters can walk to the polls, but election workers are already onthejob on what is expected to be a very long day. We are at the alameda courthouse now that is home to the Election Center. Some people here have been here for the last hour 1 2. Its an early day election day for workers here.

What do you do with those mailin ballots . They will be keyed up and posted on our website. No problems to report this morning. Everything is going smoothly . Everything is going smoothly. We will address any issues we might have to address by 7 00 this morning by first voters. A lot of people dont know how much is involved. 820 polling stations. Thanks, very much. Alameda county registrar voters at the Election Center. Outside these doors is a place where people can come in to vote. This is one of 820 poling locations. It has to be post marked today or you can drop it off at one of your polling locations. Before you go, pam and i were just siting here talking, do they have enough election day workers working or do they need extra people, do you know . Let me ask him. They want to know do you have enough election day people working at those polling locations . Its about five polling places. Yes we do. At the president ial elections, we had a lot of volunteers. We were able to get the numbers pretty easy its difficult for people to want to volunteer today. We have people if we have any gaps in our volunteers. Thanks for checking. Well, today voters in three bay area cities will decide whether to make sugary drinks more expensive.

With the san jose fog, are its looking good. Well take a look at those temps too. Ps when most of us make a mistake, officewe own up to it. Anks. But not madison nguyen. Her vote to slash the San Jose Police budget was disatrous. One hundred officers were laid off. Crime spiked twentyseven percent. And when nguyen was warned her that cuts left police shorthanded, she passed the buck. Blamed the police for spinning information out of control. Mrs. Nguyen, its crime thats out of control. Blaming others. Risking our safety. Madison nguyen is the wrong choice for assembly. Welcome back. Its the end of the most contentious president ial race. We want to take you to the business market. Most of the analysis saying that was because of pricing in a clinton victory and wall street received the news of the fbi investigation being complete. That was a positive note yesterday for wall street. But of course the election still to be determined and we will watch wall street throughout the morning. Also this morning, tesla announced it is buying a German Engineering Company that is a leader in auto manufacturing method to help its factually. Tesla is to Start Building the model 3 electric car next year. It wants to improve capacity because there are a lot of people waiting for that car. The deal is set for next year. The price has not been disclosed. The islamic relations is working to bring people together back to heal. They created the campaign ton twitter asking people to think about ways to bridge the divide created during the election. Also they want you to invite friends or colleagues who voted differently than you in your homes. Its what faith based groups have been thinking about as well. One of things we are asking people to do is to visit a different place of worship and get to know people of other faith in their community. That idea seems to be resonating with people on while voters or both side say they are coming out winners. The also planning to speed up the commute across the bay. How much will it cost you to go from berkeley to San Francisco in just 10 minutes and the plans to expand the service. With that we have one none election related story. All right.

You can see traffic is going to be busy here. Its also busy at the bay bridge toll plaza. There are no major problems on the upper deck of the bridge. A new crash on northbound 101 san jose. Traffic rains slow all the way through for the most part through 285 is also going to be slow. Moving on to 880 is behind schedule because of an accident in hayward. We have pretty wild conditions. A decent breeze off Oakland Hills. You have to drive on the oakland side. A lot of fog has dissipated. There is still a few pockets. High surf advisory from 6 00 today to 6 00 tomorrow. That will carry us into wednesday evening because of this here. The higher clouds yesterday, boy, talk about moving out of the picture, they certainly do. Talking about partly cloudy skies and sunny yesterday. A nice day at the coast. A little stronger at some of the higher elevations. I have seen about 2025. 50 to some and upper 40s. 59 in San Francisco. Its getting warmer and much of the bay temperature is higher than ever. You get a lower elevation, Boulder Creek at 79. Santa clara 51, gilroy 53, truckee 54 and its not going anywhere for a while. I think it will breakdown. Except for patchy fog, it will be sunny. 60s and 70s. They are above average for the next few days. San jose is running mildly warm today and that will continue today. Until about friday and then a week system and it clears out the week and it looks good. Sounds great. Its 6 52. A special surprise for a man who was paralyzed in a shooting. He can now make his dream of being a Flight Instructor come true. Cmohappy birthday i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. Welcome back. Stories we have been following this week. A lay off is expected to start today.
