AP reports: Americans took to Twitter indroves today to post photos of themselves casting ballots in the long-awaited presidential election, sporting "I voted" stickers and urging others to do the same.

Google also got in on the act, enabling users to click on the search engine's Doodle -- made out of ballot papers with the second 'g' falling into a voting box sporting the US flag -- to find their nearest polling station.

"Just cast my vote & my grandpa would be so proud!", @She_Weezy2012 tweeted, posting a picture of an "I Voted" sticker on her grey jumper, complete with the #ivoted hashtag, which was being used by hundreds of Twitter users.
