Israel votes in record turnout; exit polls show no clear winner

Israelis voted on Tuesday in the highest numbers in decades, and exit polls showed no clear winner. Official results are due on November 4. On election day Netanyahu accused Arab citizens of trying to steal the elections, which the New York Times describes as a racial appeal to voters. The vote is widely seen as a referendum on his leadership.
