Election Day 2016 by the numbers

Posted
and last updated

Almost half of U.S. voters say they are supporting one candidate over the other just to stop the other from winning.

That's a statistic from WalletHub, which has released a "by-the-numbers" look at the upcoming election day, Nov. 8.

Other numbers:

• Politifact has rated 13.33 percent of Hillary Clinton's claims as "false" or "pants on fire," vs. 65 percent for Donald Trump.
• Hillary Clinton has earned $21.6 million in speaking fees from 2013 to 2015 (92 speeches).
• Fourteen states have new laws that could make it more difficult to vote this year.
