From Los Angeles, VOA's Elizabeth Lee spoke exclusively to LA County Sheriff Lt. John Corina on tragic shooting near Azusa, CA, polling station:
Markets are jittery as projections show a narrow Trump lead. Multiple wire reports indicate a sinking U.S. dollar and stock markets slamming into reverse in wild Asian trading, as every new exit poll in the U.S. presidential election shows the race to be a nail biter, sending investors stampeding to safe-haven assets.
Per AFP: Markets have gone into a free fall and the Mexican peso has tanked as Donald Trump appears poised to be move into the lead in the race for the White House. Safe haven assets rallied as investors went running for cover, with the yen and gold rushing higher. Initial confidence that market favorite Hillary Clinton would win the knife-edge race was wiped out as results showed the firebrand tycoon appeared to be heading for victory in the must-win state of Florida. Clinton is considered by many investors to be a safer bet than Trump, who is seen as a loose cannon with policies many fear could wreck the world's top economy. "Put your seat belts on because this is going to be a bumpy ride," Chad Morganlander, a money manager at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. in Florham Park, New Jersey told Bloomberg News.
Clinton wins Virginia (13 electoral votes).
Trump wins Ohio (18 electoral votes).
