On the eve of the election, Hillary Clinton spoke to an estimated 40,000 people in Philadelphia, urging them to "think about how throughout our history, generations of Americans just like us have come together to meet the tests of their time."

"It started right here in Philadelphia, when representatives from 13 unruly colonies came together to launch the greatest experiment the world has ever seen," she continued. "Our parents and grandparents defended that democracy, they built the great American middle class, they marched for civil rights and voting rights and for worker's rights and women's rights, for LGBT rights, and rights for people with disabilities. Tomorrow, we face the test of our time. What will we vote for, not just against?"
