totals. that s how it should be made. nothing depends on donald trump making a refusing to make a concession even in light of compelling data that the race has been won. and so that will be a big part, i think, in resolving that, even if donald trump refuses to acknowledge reality. another thing i think will suppress donald trump s ability to try to call anything into question is the fact that so many of these battleground states, the elections are administered by republican secretaries of state who have spoken out in the weeks leading up to today saying there is no basis to question the election results in their state. these are people who will be out there in the days after saying the elections were properly conducted. national election leaders like reince priebus and speaker ryan will not indulge attempts by donald trump to litigate this if the result is decisive tonight. brian fallon. thank you so much. appreciate it. more ahead as we count down to the exit polling and the ac
election day 2016. a day that frankly could not come soon enough for many americans after one of the nastiest and most divisive presidential campaigns in american history. millions of americans are casting their votes today, making their voices heard at the ballot box. the outcome of this historic election now in their hands, in your hands. donald trump, meanwhile, still refusing to commit to accepting the results. he equivocated with an interview with a tampa bay radio station this morning. we ll bring you complete coverage of exit polling. jessica schneider is in warren, michigan, a battleground state, kind of surprisingly. reporter: it is surprising, jake. the candidates have been focusing a lot of energy here. them along with their surrogates. i am in mccomb county right now, one of the counties that donald trump is counting on. it s home of the reagan democrats, the blue-collar suburbs of detroit. donald trump hoping his message
