Polls have closed in some states and the first results are coming in in the high-stakes presidential match-up between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. According to 538's forecast, both candidates have a roughly equal chance to win.

Voters are still at polling places around the country, casting ballots to decide who controls not only the White House, but also Congress, state and local governments.

Reporters from 538 and ABC News will be following along every step of the way with live updates, analysis and commentary on the results. Keep up to date with our full live blog below!

Vermont reelects Bernie Sanders but also reelects its anti-Trump Republican governor

ABC News is projecting that independent Sen. Bernie Sanders has won reelection in Vermont, and it's also projecting that Republican Gov. Phil Scott has won reelection. Sanders sits to the left of most Democrats in the Senate (but is part of that party's caucus), so it's fascinating to see such a split result in one of the country's bluest states. However, Scott is incredibly popular and is one of the only high-profile Republicans left in office who has turned against Trump — so much so that he said he voted for Harris in the presidential election.

Mixed early numbers in Georgia

Georgia is one of the seven most important swing states in this presidential election, and the early returns there don't reveal much about the direction it may be headed. Now, Trump leads with about 60% to Harris' 40% with only 9% of the state's expected vote reporting. But notably, the two Atlanta-area metro counties that have reported at least 70% of their expected vote are both notably bluer than they were in 2020, while many other more rural counties in the state that have reported that much are notably redder. Still, around three-fourths of Georgia's vote so far is estimated to be early in-person or absentee, which should be at least somewhat more favorable to Democrats than Election Day votes. However, the extent of that partisan split in preferred vote method — so apparent in 2020 — remains to be seen.

Florida’s abortion rights ballot measure is very close

With 66% of the expected vote reported in Florida, Amendment 4, the ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution, is ahead with 59% of the vote in favor and 41% of the vote against, according to the AP. The measure would prevent lawmakers from passing laws that restrict abortion until fetal viability, effectively restoring the standard of Roe v. Wade in the state. But in Florida, 59% of the vote isn't enough — constitutional amendments require 60% of the vote to pass, so this one may come down to the wire.

Will Indiana or Missouri elect its first female governor?

There are 18 states that have never had a female governor. Tonight, two Democratic female candidates could break their state's dry spell: Jennifer McCormick in Indiana and Crystal Quade in Missouri. But because both these states lean red, it remains unlikely.

Currently, more women are serving as governor simultaneously than ever before. It's just 12.
