This post was updated on Nov. 9 to include the 2016 general election front page: Trump Wins.
As Americans head to the polls to elect the nation’s 45th president, take a look back at how The Sun covered past presidential elections on the front page.

His focus was as much on getting potholes patched as launching major developments such as Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. At times, Schaefer could be a charmer, a task master and enigmatic, but he was never dull. With that in mind, we decided to take a look back at the many faces of this man-of-the-people.
