STORYLINE:
Former president Donald Trump voted in-person at the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, Florida on Tuesday.
Final voting began without major hitches Tuesday in midterm elections under intense scrutiny after two years of false claims and conspiracy theories about how ballots are cast and counted.
Since the last nationwide election two years ago, Trump and his allies have succeeded in sowing wide distrust about voting by promoting false claims of widespread fraud.
Despite voters and officials being on edge, there were no big problems reported early in the day, though there were hiccups with tabulation machines and late-arriving workers in some places, which is typical on any Election Day.
Tuesday's vote potentially will help shape economic policy, access to abortion and even how elections are held — all while testing the political strength of President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump.
With polls open across the country, neither Biden nor Trump is on the ballot.
But key race outcomes will nonetheless be widely read as whether voters approve of the Democratic president's first two years and if they're willing to support a Republican Party the former president has increasingly molded in his own image.
