What time do polls close in NY, NJ and CT? And where do I vote?

It's Election Day, and the polls are open in the tri-state area. Millions voted early, a record turnout, and there are only a few hours left to cast your vote for this year's hotly-contested elections.

The outcome of Tuesday's election will shape the country’s future, determining whether the new White House has allies or skeptics on Capitol Hill — or faces a divided Congress like this past session, which has been among the most tumultuous and unproductive in modern times.
