Good morning. It's Tuesday, November 8. With Election Day upon us, more than half of all registered active voters - about 6.5 million out of a total of about 12.8 million - have already cast ballots before a single precinct opened its doors.

The city of Orlando has reached a deal to buy the Pulse nightclub for $2.25 million and plans to eventually transform the site of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history into a memorial.

See a video about Universal's plans to open its sixth hotel, the Aventura Hotel, in 2018.
