“My report card is on its way to California.” American Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris announced on Sunday, November 3, that she had voted by mail in the election between her and former Republican President Donald Trump. “I just filled out my postal ballot”she said during a brief exchange with journalists in Detroit, Michigan (Great Lakes region).

“Election day” November 5th. American voters have been able to vote early in a majority of states since the end of September, as Franceinfo explained. On November 5, a day nicknamed “Election Day”, those who have not yet done so will be able to place their choice in the ballot box or on a voting machine. Some 76 million voters voted early.
Brutal end to campaign. Many American voters are expressing their fed up two days before the vote. This campaign is the most aggressive in recent US history. In this ultra-tense climate, physical violence is feared after November 5.
Close polls. The election risks being decided in a matter of fact, as shown by the franceinfo poll aggregator. The latest opinion study from New York Times/Siena focuses on seven crucial states, nicknamed “swing states”. Kamala Harris in the lead in a majority of them (in Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin), and perfectly tied with Donald Trump in two others (Pennsylvania and Michigan), when her rival is ahead of her in Arizona. But this closely followed poll shows that she has lost ground in the most contested state: Pennsylvania, this vast territory in the northeast which has 19 major voters out of the 270 minimum that one of the two candidates must reach for take it away.
