Live updates for the 2024 US Elections-Delay in polling

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance cast his ballot in person for the US Presidential Elections on Tuesday morning (local time), as reported by CNN.

Vance cast his ballot at the St. Anthony of Padua Church in Cincinnati from the state of Ohio.

According to CNN, the senator and running mate of former US President Donald Trump was in good spirits when he arrived to cast his vote with his wife, Usha Vance and their children.

Following casting his vote, Vance told the reporters present there that he was thankful to those who came out to vote and also to witness “one of the great traditions in American democracy.”

“I feel good; you never know until you know, but I feel good about this race,” Vance said, as reported by CNN.

Many people consider this election to be among the most contentious in American history. Both Trump and Harris have issued several warnings about the potentially disastrous effects that either candidate’s election could have on the nation. On important topics like the economy, immigration, and abortion rights, voters have wildly divergent opinions.

77% of US respondents stated that the country’s future was a major source of worry in their life, according to an annual study by the American Psychological Association. Furthermore, 74% of respondents expressed concern that violence would ensue from the election results.

According to reports, there have been delays at two polling places in Pennsylvania.

According to county spokesperson Abigail Gardner, two polling places in Allegheny County, western Pennsylvania, experienced delays Tuesday morning but are fully operational, as CNN reported.

According to Gardner, the problem started in Pittsburgh’s Lincoln Place neighborhood when the judge of elections failed to show up at the polling station. Currently, the sheriff is going to the polling place at Lincoln Place Presbyterian Church to pick up the poll book from the judge.

The Lincoln Place location will continue to run normally, and poll workers are stationed there, Gardner said.

US Elections 2024 Live: The last chance for Americans to cast ballots in the fiercely contested, closely contested 2024 presidential election began Tuesday with the opening of Election Day polling places on the US east coast.

Following a decades-old custom, the township of Dixville Notch in the state of New Hampshire held their vote at midnight (local time). Trump and Harris are currently tied with three votes apiece.

The great majority of voting places nationwide open Tuesday morning and stay open throughout the evening due to increased security.

Plans for snipers on a rooftop to guard a crucial vote-counting center, panic buttons for election workers, and surveillance drones buzzing overhead are just a few of the complex steps local officials are taking to defend election-related locations.
