The battle of who wins the Iowa electoral votes begins tonight as voters line up to vote in Iowa. This Iowa caucuses will give the first real test of Donald Trumps ability to win over voters. He has tirelessly hit the campaign trail, blazing up the headlines with controversial statements that defied political correctness and despite opposition he has managed to parallel himself to leading the polls ahead of Cruz heading into caucus night.

Tonight will give a real test of the real estate mogul’s ability to transform the predictions of polls into tangible electoral success. In an exclusive interview on ABC Trump commenting on tonight’s caucus said: “This is actually my first election night. I’ve gone through many election nights but it was always for somebody else.”

It won’t be an easy journey for the several hundred thousand Iowan voters as they head out to cast their votes given the snow and forecast. Despite the weather, voters are amped and ready to venture off.

The other candidates such as Clinton, Cruz and Sanders are optimistic that their efforts on the campaign trail will yield results.
