Election Day proved to be a stunning microcosm of 2020, with political tensions colliding with the realities of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
More than 100 million votes were filed by mail prior to Election Day, with some states surpassing their total votes in the 2016 election.
Yet many voters braved voting in-person, despite concerns of long lines and threats of voter suppression. With masks on and social distancing in effect, people continued to go to the polls and have their say in what will be one of the most significant elections in American history.
On Election Day, 91,530 new COVID-19 cases and 1,130 deaths were reported, per data from Johns Hopkins' dashboard.
See how voters, poll workers and election officials across the country have adjusted to voting in the 2020 election amid the coronavirus pandemic:
