Here are all the major newspapers that have endorsed Hillary Clinton for president

This presidential election may have the most lopsided batch of newspaper endorsements the US has ever seen.

While Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has garnered the support of a long list of editorial boards, her Republican rival Donald Trump has only received 19.

The Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has received nine endorsements, and independent conservative candidate Evan McMullin has one.

Several editorial boards have even cautioned voters against putting Trump in office, and a number of conservative-leaning papers have said they too are “with her.”

Some of the papers, including The Desert Sun and The Houston Chronicle, rarely endorse Democrats – but 2016 is no regular election cycle.

A wave of endorsements came in after a lewd tape of Trump from 2005 leaked on October 7. And another series of non-endorsements followed the news on October 28 that the FBI was looking into more of Clinton's emails that may be relevant to an investigation into her use of a private email server while Secretary of State.

FBI Director James Comey told Congress November 6 that the review of new emails didn't find reason for charges, however, and Clinton's final endorsement tally crested 240 editorial boards.

On the eve of Election Day, here are all the daily newspapers with circulations over 20,000 that endorsed Clinton:
