US Election Night Poll Closing – Updates

The US Presidential Election 2024 is considered as a flagship event in the world and it heated up early after the commencement of the electoral rally of the Republican Candidate Donald Trump on November 15, 2022. Followed by the Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris in the mid of 2023. Trump aims to climb back his regime after 2021 whereas Harris’ star-studded endorsements had in view to retain their existing rule. The rustling geo-politics, climate change, economic recovery, and global standing are one of the pivotal factors of the 2024 US election campaign.

This election will not be the same as earlier or easier to access the regime due to the knife-edge competition between both the powerful candidates, especially in the swing states in the US. The supporters of both the candidates and the political analyst believe that it will definitely be a neck to neck challenge to secure and seal the vote bank of these states. The following are the swing states which might decide their dream.

  • Georgia
  • North Carolina
  • Pennsylvania
  • Michigan
  • Wisconsin
  • Arizona
  • Nevada

Declaration of Voting Results

The first poll closes at 6.00 pm on Tuesday evening and the last at 1.00 am on Wednesday and the votes casted on election day, mail, overseas and military ballots will be counted later. Based on the report of Associated Press, the votes casted through ballots are estimated as 82 million, which sounds the impact of powerful rallies carried by both Trump and Harris throughout the States. The result of the election will be announced after the election or the early next day but this close-fight might delay the declaration of the winner. The trustable sources from the US media and journalistic community have described that the swing states would play a crucial role in determining the governance again for both the Republican and Democratic Party’s candidates.

If the results favours Kamala Harris, she would write a history by becoming the first Black and Asian American woman President of the great USA, or if it goes the either way then, Trump would become the first US President after being convicted of multiple misconduct and felony in 2023 & 2024.
