It’s decision day for America, and voters on Tuesday are about to decide between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden in a race for the White House like no other.
They were campaigns marked by rancor and fear, as well as by hope and aspiration, as both candidates declared the other incapable of leading a nation in crisis, amid a pandemic that has claimed 230,000 American lives.
With so much at stake, nearly 100 million votes were cast before Election Day, while experts and voters alike will likely have to wait for the election result to be clear when the polls close tonight.
Social media censors Trump’s tweets on ballots
Twitter and Facebook late Monday pointed to posts by President Donald Trump claiming that a US Supreme Court decision on voting by mail in Pennsylvania would lead to “rampant” fraud and was “very dangerous.”
Twitter hid the president’s tweet, sent hours before the polls opened on Tuesday, behind a tag that said the content was “disputed” and “could be misleading.”
Trump and his Republican allies have repeatedly said, without evidence, that mail-in ballots are prone to fraud, although election experts say that is rare in American elections.
Trump’s tweet also said, unsubstantiated, that the Supreme Court decision “would induce violence in the streets.”

Accident at a Trump campaign rally
For his penultimate 2020 campaign rally, Donald Trump was forced to use a handheld microphone and promised he would not pay the company that telegraphed the event in Wisconsin.
Holding the microphone, the president bragged that he was working “harder” than at the 15 rallies that preceded him in the final days of his campaign.
He ended the night in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he also ended his 2016 election bid with an evening rally.
Whether or not this election provides the same result as four years ago remains to be seen, and especially if the polls, which show Joe Biden ahead nationally, are something to go through.
