Social media reacts to millions of Americans using their right to vote Tuesday and heading to the polls. Even though its just the beginning of a long day for both democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, there’s a buzz in the air to get this day done and over with.
According to the self-proclaimed wordsmith, Christine Sirois, there’s a 2 hour plus wait in her NYC borough to cast a ballot this election day.
Saying in her social media post, “Inching forward. About to hit hour 2 in line. #ElectionDay #VotingDay #Election2016”

Plus there are some celebrity’s that are showing off their “I Vote” stickers. Check out Jessica Alba getting some Instagram love from her hubby for casting an early ballot and a warning “no selfie’s in the booth,” an unfortunate accident musician and former boy bander Justin Timberlake made during his early ballot submission.
We also got a Twitter post from a first time voter.

Many are heading to the polls even though they’re not voting for Trump or Clinton. The state of Utah and many conservatives who aren’t fans of Trump are finding other options – like Evan McMullin and Mindy Finn.
Headed to the polls undecided?
