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.

Ranked-choice voting projected to pass in Washington, D.C.

ABC News projects that Initiative 83 in Washington, D.C., will pass. The initiative will implement ranked-choice voting in the district and allow voters not registered with a particular party to vote in partisan primaries. The measure was opposed by the local Democratic Party, but it's on track to pass with a very healthy margin of 73% to 23%, with 81% of the expected vote reporting.
