From 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., voters hit voting booths across the country, electing not only our next commander-in-chief, but members of congress, state representatives and senators, councillors and county sheriffs in their communities.

Update, 2 p.m.: By 2 p.m., wardens of all four Milford precincts said they had seen a steady stream of voters at the Portuguese Club, though many took advantage of early voting. By 2 p.m., 4,465 had cast ballots in Milford.

"Everyone has been well behaved," said Brian SanSouci, campaigning for Rich Murray and also agreeing to prop up some signs for Joe Kennedy."It's kind of a lull now but it was busier. A girl pulled up and parked and said to us, 'I don't see any Trump signs, and I want a pic taken with a Trump sign. She took a pic with a sign, and took off. She was from Florida."

Bob McCarthy, who also held Murray signs alongside SanSouci, voted earlier for Clinton and Murray. "I voted enthusiastically. I've been Clinton all along. Fingers crossed."

"Hey, Lincoln was his first election," joked one of the election workers while pointing to Nick Lucca, warden for precinct 4 in Milford. He's been working elections since 1963. "The women are happy for Hillary. The older men are happy for Trump. This being a liberal state and town, Hillary will probably beat Trump 5-1. I'm undecided."

Faith Allen, a graduate from Wellesley College, walked hand-in-hand with her six-year-old daughter Ainsley Allen toward the the voting booths in her town. When asked. She was confidently headed to cast her vote for Hillary Clinton, and she’s been “with her” from day one. “If I can not shed tears in the voting booth, I will be happy,” she said. “This is a vote for her, not against someone else.”

Voters exiting the building mostly expressed relief that "it'll be over soon." Most said the Facebook debates and arguments, and the political ads, have gotten beyond tiresome.

"I'm just going to be glad it's done and we'll have an answer," said Renee Underwood. "At least if you have answers, you have a chance to mold your response to that. I voted for the person who is the platform closest to what I agree with."

Adele Miller left the building surrounded by four kids, telling them, "this was easy, but in lots of places you wait for a long time in lines to vote."

Along with her three kids, and one niece, she remarked, "I'm a little nervous. I'm not nervous about Massachusetts, but about some other states. I've talked about the questions with the kids. The charter school question was the hardest." Miller voted for the Johnson-Weld ticket, adding, "I would like Clinton to win, but would love to see a third party in 2020."
