"I know that youth and minority vote, we will decide who is the next president of the United States because we are the wild card, we are the vote that nobody can control and nobody knows what we are going to do back there. They haven't caught our vote, they haven't caught our vote. They haven't spent enough time in our communities, they haven't spent enough time talking to young men and women. But all of that is about to change after today, after they understand the power that we have. Especially with them being neck to neck, so now every vote counts."

P DIDDY CASTS HIS VOTE
Rapper and activist P. Diddy was among the thousands of New Yorkers who showed up early Tuesday morning to cast their ballots for the presidential election.
Lines formed before 6am, when the voting polls opened, and grew steadily as the hours passed.
Early voter turnout for today's elections appears to be higher than usual everywhere throughout the five boroughs.
Rapper turned activist Sean "P. Diddy" Combs wore a t-shirt that read 'Vote or Die', the slogan of his voter registration and interest drive campaign.
He predicted that this year's election would be decided by young people and minority vote. "We are the wild card", Combs said, "we are the vote that nobody can control."
