They’re just one day left til the election, but both candidates are still hitting up voters for money. What do they spend it on this late in the game?

Also: Latino voters are considered a prized voting bloc in many battleground states, but many opinion polls leave them off. Why? Finally, because we need a little escapism this late in the campaign: “Doctor Strange” pulled in $85 million at the box office this weekend, cementing Marvel’s reputation for pitching D-List comics heroes at a general audience.

The stage is seen as workers prepare the Jacob K. Javits Center for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's election night event in New York City. Clinton's event will cap a contentious campaign against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
