Mayhem as voting machines malfunction across multiple states

DAILY MAIL

The wait is almost over for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as millions of Americans prepare to flood polls nationwide to vote in what could be the closest election in history.

After an unprecedented and exhausting campaign – with a candidate dropping out and two assassination attempts – betting market Kalshi has given Trump a 60 percent chance of winning.

Technical issues have been reported in the early morning hours in Indiana and crucial Pennsylvania, where voters in Cambria County were left waiting for the ballot machines to be fixed.

All eyes will be on the seven swing states that will be critical for victory: Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan and Nevada.

Both Harris and Trump campaigned into the dead of night on Monday to try and win over final votes, and now their fortunes are out of their hands.

Election officials have reported that several ballot scanners are down in Cambria County in the swing state of Pennsilvania.

Voters have shared footage of people standing in line as the voting process was interrupted by the technical issues.

Voters began casting their ballots with polling stations open from 5am in Vermont and 6am in multiple states.

At 6pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, the first polls will close in Indiana and Kentucky.

Then the U.S. will wait as the ballots are counted across the country and the tension begins to find out who will be the next President of the United States. For some states, the result will be announced as soon as the voting stops.

But for others – especially the seven battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina – it could take hours or even days until we find out the winner.
