It’s finally Election Day, and for many Americans, it’s a day that couldn’t come soon enough. If you haven’t already voted by mail, or by dropping your ballot off at a voting center, you’ve got until 8 p.m. on Tuesday to make your choices clear on local, statewide and national issues by voting in person, the old-fashioned way.

Once you’ve done so, we’re asking you to cool your jets a bit and hold on until the results are available either after the polls close tonight, or perhaps wait until tomorrow morning to answer: What do you think of the results of this historic American election?

That’s our Question of the Week for readers.

While any Southern Californian who waded through the lengthy ballot knows there were plenty of down-ticket issues and candidates to consider, the national obsession with the top of the ticket — the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump — was also our obsession here.

Are you pleased with who won? Are you surprised about who won? Were the polls showing a neck-and-neck race accurate? Is there a discrepancy between the national popular vote and the all-powerful Electoral College vote that gives you pause?

Do you think the vote for small-party presidential candidates had an effect on who won? How are the two main candidates for the White House taking the news of their victory and defeat?

In the past we may not have had to ask this question, but now we clearly do: Will there be a smooth and peaceful transition of power in January?

What’s your take on the coverage of the presidential campaign both through the summer and fall and on Tuesday night? When following live results on television, do you stick with your preferred news source only, or do you switch around?

If you’re a Fox News devotee, do you stay with it? Or did you turn to CNN to see how the results were being covered? If you’re usually watching MSNBC, did you turn to Newsmax for an alternate take?
