Hi all! Today is the US presidential election: the most important political event of the year (and perhaps not only this) in the world. Meduza, as always, will monitor the voting progress and vote counting online.

It is now five in the evening on the East Coast of the United States, and two in the afternoon on the West Coast. Voting has long begun in all states.
It ends at different times everywhere: some states stop voting in the early evening local time, some take longer to vote. The first to close will be some counties in Indiana and Kentucky, at 2 a.m. Moscow time. Georgia will be the first swing state to count votes at 3:00 Moscow time.

Just in case, let us briefly recall the process of determining the winner.
US presidential elections are indirect. Formally, Americans vote for electors - special people who, in January, at a special event in Washington, will cast their votes for the candidate supported by voters.
There are only 538 electors. Their number in each state is different, it is distributed approximately in proportion to the population. The most populous states have the most electors: California - 54 and Texas - 40. The fewest (three each) are in North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Vermont, Delaware, Alaska and the District of Columbia.
The winner of the popular vote in a particular state receives the votes of all electoral votes from that state. (There are two exceptions - Nebraska and Maine, where the number of electors is divided depending on the percentage of the vote). Thus, in order to ultimately win, a candidate does not need to receive the votes of a majority of Americans overall or even win a majority of states; the main thing is to win (by any margin) in those states where the majority of the population lives.
November 5, 2024 10:27:57 PM
In most states, the result can be predicted in advance with a high probability - since one of the candidates has a clear advantage. Therefore, the outcome of the vote is decided by the so-called swing states - where before the voting begins, the candidates' chances of winning are approximately equal.
This year's seven swing states are Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin. In total they give 93 electoral votes. The largest and most important of these states is Pennsylvania, which has 19 electors.
November 5, 2024 10:35:12 PM
Of the remaining (non-swing) states, CNN projects Trump to win 23 (plus Nebraska and Maine, where both he and Harris will get multiple votes). In total, Trump will have 219 electoral votes in these states.
Harris, CNN believes, will win 18 states. This will give her 226 votes.

Trump said on Truth Social that there is "a lot of talk about massive fraud in Philadelphia." Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania, a key state in this election.
“Police are on their way,” Trump wrote.
He did not specify what kind of falsifications he was talking about. Philadelphia police officials told CNN they were not aware of any "massive fraud."
CNN (which traditionally supports Democrats) recalls that Trump has been talking about “fraud” in the Philadelphia election for years without providing any evidence.

The vast majority of Americans decided who they would vote for a few weeks before the election, CNN writes .
The network's national poll showed that eight out of ten people had decided on their candidate before the start of September. And in the last week before the elections, less than 10% of voters made a decision.

About a dozen polling stations in Georgia were evacuated due to reports of mining. The threat of explosions turned out to be false, but voters should wait until the polling stations resume work.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the threats came “from Russia,” without specifying why that conclusion was reached. CNN's intelligence sources, in turn, said they were checking whether the mining reports were connected to Russia.
In particular, the channel's interlocutors said , the letter containing the bomb threat came from a mail server account with a Russian domain. Intelligence agencies are checking the history of this email account, trying to determine who is using it.
At the same time, CNN clarifies, it is possible that the email address was fake, and the intelligence services are not yet sure that the mining messages are somehow connected with Russia.
Due to the temporary suspension of work, voting at these polling stations will last slightly longer than originally planned.

In Milwaukee, the largest city in Wisconsin (one of the swing states), a problem was discovered in the automatic ballot counting machine.

November 6, 2024 00:00:36
Polls closed in Georgia, one of the swing states.
Voting has also completed in Vermont, Virginia, South Carolina, some counties in Florida, as well as the remaining counties in Indiana and Kentucky.

Trump's large lead that we see now should not be surprising - it was predicted and is associated solely with different closing times of polling stations.
