And mail-in ballots, a larger share of the votes in this pandemic year, could prove decisive in each of these states. In Florida in 2018, mail-in ballots caused the race for governor to tighten substantially in the days after Election Day.

Democratic candidate Joe Biden said today that if he is elected to power, “there will be no red states or blue states, just the United States.” Acting Republican President Donald Trump and Biden ended their most divisive and bitter election campaign on Tuesday with fervent calls on social media for undecided Americans to vote for them as they pledged to lift the country out of the woods. The November 3 presidential election has been listed as one of the most divisive in recent US history. The election is already setting turnout records, and perhaps no two candidates are more at odds over the future of the country and the direction they want to take.
Trump, 74, toured the major voting battlefields of Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania on Monday as his 77-year-old rival campaigned in Pennsylvania and Ohio, urging Americans to back them in the race for the White House. “To all of our fans: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have been there from the beginning and I will never let you down. Your hopes are my hopes, your dreams are my dreams and your future is what I am fighting for! days! “Trump tweeted after midnight. “A vote for Sleepy Joe Biden is a vote to cede control of the government to wealthy liberal globalists, communists, socialists and hypocrites who want to silence, censor, cancel and punish you. Get out there and VOTE #MAGA tomorrow!” the president wrote in another tweet, attacking Biden.
The Republican Party in a tweet said: “Let’s make America great again and re-elect our fantastic president! We made history together four years ago, and tomorrow we will make history again, ”said the ruling party. Biden, the former US Vice President, said he was “running as a proud Democrat, but I will rule as US President.” “I will work with Democrats and Republicans, and I will work as hard for those who do not support me as I do for those who do.
“Because that’s the job of a president,” he wrote. He noted that under President Trump, more than “230,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, 30 million people have lost hours, paychecks or jobs, and nearly one in five small businesses have closed.” “Are you better than four years ago?” Biden asked the voters.
If elected president, Bien said he will rebuild infrastructure, fight climate change and create millions of high-paying union jobs. “It’s time to rebuild better together,” Biden said.
National polls suggest a firm lead for Biden in Tuesday’s election. But its advantage is less in the handful of states that could decide the outcome.

To be elected president, a candidate must obtain at least 270 votes in what is called the Electoral College. Each US state gets a certain number of votes in part based on its population and there is a total of 538 up for grabs on Tuesday.

The United States has reported more than 231,500 deaths and more than 9,292,000 confirmed cases, according to the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 tracker, making the country the nation hardest hit by the deadly virus.
