PHOTOS OF THE WEEK: A HARD NIGHT FOR HILLARY SUPPORTERS

November 10, 2016 (San Diego's East County) -- Some dressed in white, paying silient homage to the woman's suffrage movement, as they cast their votes for the first woman president.  But Election Day soon became a nightmare for supporters of Hillary Clinton,  despite weeks of walking precincts and phone-banking voters across the country for their candidate, when news broke of Donald Trump's victory.

Local women took heart, however, in the election of Mara Elliott as  San Diego's new city attorney.

In her concession speech the next morning, Clinton reflected that while she didn’t “shatter that highest and hardest glass ceiling,” she offered hope that it would happen some day, adding,“And to all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable, and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams."
