Election Day 2024: Live results and analysis

With projections made in most states across the country, ABC News has projected that former President Donald Trump will win the high-stakes presidential match-up against Vice President Kamala Harris. Early Wednesday morning, Trump secured enough Electoral College votes to set himself up for a second presidency, including by flipping the key swing states of Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Beyond the presidential race, voters also hit the polls around the country Tuesday and cast ballots to decide who controls Congress, state and local governments. Reporters from 538 and ABC News followed along every step of the way with live updates, analysis and commentary on the results. Follow our election-night coverage in full below.

Georgia sees record turnout despite bomb threats

Georgia saw record turnout on Tuesday after a spate of non-credible bomb threats flooded state election offices, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said.

There were 1.22 million voters on Election Day voters, a record in the state, Raffensperger said.

Asked whether the bomb threats had any impact on voter turnout or the performance of election officials, Raffensperger said, "None. We worked through it. Battle-tested."

"That just shows you the resilience of our system and our people," he said.

The state also had a record 4 million early voters, according to Raffensperger.
