An anxious America heads to the polls
The nation finds itself in a precarious state as the final days of the campaign unfold. Donald Trump delivered a lengthy, grievance-laden speech in North Carolina yesterday, while Vice President Kamala Harris has been pouring her efforts into Pennsylvania, the largest among the seven critical swing states that will ultimately decide the next president.
This presidential campaign has taken on a distinctly darker tone than those of previous years. In numerous interviews conducted in the lead-up to Election Day, voters across the country expressed a profound unease, fearing that their country is unraveling at the seams.
Potential chaos on the horizon: Right-wing groups have been mobilizing through platforms like Telegram, encouraging their supporters to monitor polling places closely. Some have propagated conspiracy theories suggesting that anything short of a Trump victory would constitute a grave injustice, warranting a call to arms.
When will we know the results? The counting of votes is expected to extend well beyond election night, and the determination of the presidential outcome may follow suit. Here’s what we know about the timeline for results.
