Election Day 2024 dwell: Trump camp put together for no end result tonight as Georgia polling station hit by ‘Russian’ bomb threats

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

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

Officials have instructed voters to place their paper ballots inside boxes and voting hours have been extended until 10pm.

The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit to ensure that polls in the county will remain open longer due to the delays and long lines.

RNC Co-Chairman Michael Whatley said Tuesday:

We understand that there are some line delays on the ground. We need you to stay in line. We need you to fill out your ballot in full and deliver it. Our Pennsylvania lawyers are all over this issue and will ensure fairness and accuracy in the process. Stay in line! Deliver your ballot!

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.

DailyMail.com has laid out everything you need to know – hour by hour – about the drama that will unfold – including when the polls close in each state, who is predicted to win and when to expect a result.

It all comes down to this.

Almost two years after Donald Trump announced he was running for president and as one of the most dramatic campaigns in history draws to a close, the wait begins for the results.

The race is set to be one of the closest in decades and polls shows Trump and Kamala Harris are deadlocked across the country.

All eyes will be on the seven battleground states on Tuesday night.

But there are also six key voter groups that will have a major impact on determining the next occupant of the White House.

DailyMail.com’s pollster James Johnson, the founder of J.L. Partners, has broken down just how important these demographics are.

From Katelyn Caralle, senior U.S. reporter in Nevada:

Donald Trump quickly shot down a reporter asking if he should tell his supporters that there should be ‘no violence’ on Election Day.

The question came to the ex-president shortly after he cast his ballot in Florida alongside his wife former first lady Melania Trump.

‘Will you tell your supporters that there should be no violence,’ a female reporter could be heard asking the Republican presidential candidate.

Trump immediately shot back: ‘My supporters are not violent people. I don’t have to tell them that, and they certainly don’t want any violence.’

Declaring that Texas will ‘not be bullied by the Department of Justice,’ the state Attorney General blocked federal election monitors from going inside voting locations across the Lone Star State on Tuesday.

Department of Justice election monitors had planned to be inside polling sites in eight Texas counties, including Atascosa, Bexar (San Antonio), Dallas, Frio, Harris (Houston), Hays, Palo Pinto, and Waller.

Social media users have reacted after a bizarre clip of Donald Trump emerged when his microphone cut out during a rally.

The Republican presidential nominee had audio issues while speaking at a campaign event in Milwaukee on Friday night.

Opting to instead use a handheld microphone, Trump was seen yanking at the microphone at his stand before he started putting his mouth around it.

Social media X has since erupted with a spate of comments over the widely shared footage.

One person commented on the short clip, which has been viewed over 14million times: ‘Doesn’t look like his first time either.’

The Detroit News has reported that the FBI arrested two people in Michigan for issuing threats in days before the 2024 presidential election on Tuesday.

One man allegedly hinted an an assassination plot and was linked to threats targeting Republican candidate Trump.

The president has no public appearances on his schedule and his press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, won’t be holding her typical daily briefing on Tuesday.

Biden made his final campaign appearance on Saturday when he delivered a speech to laborers on behalf of the Harris-Walz campaign in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Trump spoke briefly with reporters before casting his ballot in Palm Beach.

He blasted Oprah, who joined Kamala Harris at her final rally in Pennsylvania on Monday night, accusing her of stoking division in the country.

‘I think Oprah has become a major divider in our country and she should be ashamed of herself,’ he fumed.

The man, who had previously been convicted of a felony, was told that he was ineligible to vote because he had not re-registered after being released from prison.

He had gone to vote in the town of Fowler near the Canadian border at about 6:30 am.

The man became irate and began threatening to return with a gun or to burn the place down, police said.

He fled but was later picked up by state police and brought to the station for questioning. Charges against him were pending.

Mark Fisher, who lists himself as a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, warned that it would be a ‘disaster for the country’ if Kamala Harris is elected.

‘Historically the Democrat party has been the party that black people overwhelmingly vote for, but we haven’t gotten anything in return,’ Fisher told the New York Post. ‘To me that is the definition of insanity.’

The former president, wearing his signature ‘Make America Great Again’ hat, answered many questions and slammed reports of chaos at the polling stations around the nation. He also wore an ‘I voted’ sticker.

‘It is crazy,’ he said. ‘I am just hearing in certain states it is going to be a long time.’

He specificially mentioned Pennsylvania, the battleground state that could decide the winner. Polls show the race there is tied.

‘I’m hearing in Pennsylvania they won’t have an answer until two or three days from now. I think it’s an absolute outrage if that’s the case,’ Trump noted. ‘In certain states it is going to be a long time and it won’t even be close. It won’t be that close. They say I will win the state but it will take a long time to certify it.’

But he said he would concede if he lost a ‘fair’ election.

‘If it’s a fair election I would be the first one to acknowledge it if I lost. And so far I think it’s been fair,’ he said. Trump, on the campaign trail, has indicated he doesn’t trust the voting process and could challenge the results if Harris wins.

‘I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three. We did great in the first one, much better in the second one. Something happened. And this was the best — I would say this was the best campaign we ran,’ he said.

The podcaster and former Fox News host attended Trump‘s rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Monday in the final hours of one what could be the closest elections in history.

She told the crowd why she decided to cast her ballot for the former president despite their rollercoaster relationship over the years that included very public spats during his first run for president.

‘I feel very confident,’ Trump said after he cast his vote in Palm Beach. ‘I hear we’re doing very well everywhere.’

‘I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three. We did great in the first one. We did much better in the second one but something happened. I would say this is the best campaign we’ve run,’ he said, standing next to his wife, Melania Trump.

Asked if he had any regrets about his campaign, Trump responded, ‘I can’t think of any.’

Voters in Cambria County in western Pennsylvania have been forced to place their paper ballots into boxes after voting machines malfunctioned throughout the entire county.

On a breezy autumn day in north Georgia, Fiona Bagley mused in the back of her tea shop about Donald Trump winning a second White House bid.

‘I don’t think he wants to be a dictator,’ the 64-year-old retired Captain of the Royal Military Police explained. ‘I don’t think he wants to do any of the bad things they say.’

Bagley, originally from Epsom, Surrey before settling with her American husband in Dahlonega, Georgia, is unconcerned with the Trumpian horror scenarios many of her U.K.-based friends are frantically posting about on Facebook and that she sees in her newsfeeds.

She’s busy trying to make her bottom line and 18 employees depend on it.

‘The last four years have been brutal,’ the 60-year-old entrepreneur explained.

‘I’ve seen my shipping costs double, the price of product has doubled, but people’s incomes have not risen to the same amount. So they’re not spending the money.’

Harris said she will watch the election results come in from her alma mater, Howard University.

‘The first office I ever ran for was freshman class representative at Howard University,’ Harris recalled in her Tuesday interview with the Big Tigger Morning Show on V-103 in Atlanta. “And to go back tonight to Howard University, my beloved alma mater, and be able to hopefully … recognize this day for what it is — really it’s full circle for me.”

Howard, located in the nation’s capital, is part of the historically Black colleges and universities founded before 1964 for African American students.

If she wins, Harris will be the first HBCU alum to serve as president.

Officials have extended voting hours in Cambria County following a ‘software malfunction’ kept voters from scanning their ballots.

Election workers said ‘there is a process in place for issues of this nature’ and the malfunction ‘should not discourage voters from voting at their voting precincts.’

‘The Cambria County Board of Election learned early this morning that a software malfunction in the County’s Electronic Voting System has prevented voters from scanning their ballots,’ the Office of County Commissioners said.

‘The Board has filed a Court Order extending the time to vote within Cambria County. No one should be turned away from the polls if they wish to cast their vote. Cambria County Board of Elections took measures to have IT specialists called to review the software issue. All completed ballots will be accepted, secured, and counted by the Board of Elections.’

There is a last-minute surge of betting on Donald Trump.

On the forecasting site Predictit he overtook Kamala Harris last night and has surged this morning.

The site now gives Trump a 10 percent lead in terms of his chances of winning the election.

It reflects similar movement on other betting sites.

Fulton County authorities announced multiple non-credible bomb threats at local polling places Tuesday morning.

Fulton County School Police received threats at several schools that were also polling places around 8:15 am ET.

Feldwood Elementary School in south Fulton was cleared by authorities and no evidence of a bomb was found.

No one was evacuated during the sweep, authorities confirmed.

The impacted polling locations will now stay open later than the expected 7 pm ET closing time.

Local election officials said that the location likely will remain open an additional 30 minutes until around 7:30 pm local time.

Kamala Harris has cut Donald Trump’s double-digit lead among male voters in half to single digits, a new Marist poll found.

Voter breakdowns have long shown a gender gap with women supporting Harris and men supporting Trump.

Harris making up ground with the male vote would be a troubling sign for the former president.

At the beginning of October, Trump had a 16-point lead among men – 57% to Harris’s 41%, according to an NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll.

Now Harris had cut that down to just four points: she has 47% to Trump’s 51%, according to the latest numbers released Monday.

The rivals have each painted one another as extreme. They both warn their opponent will be a disaster for America.

Whether they will be able to implement their wish list depends on a number of factors, including which party controls Congress.

But their grand plans are a crucial indicator in what four years of a Trump or Harris administration would look like.

• Election Day in the United States is now often considered election week as each state follows its own rules and practices for counting ballots — not to mention the legal challenges — that can delay the results. But the truth is, nobody knows how long it will take for the winner to be announced this time.
• In 2020, The Associated Press declared President Joe Biden the winner on Saturday afternoon — four days after polls closed. But even then, The AP called North Carolina for Trump 10 days after Election Day and Georgia for Biden 16 days later after hand recounts.
• Four years earlier, the 2016 election was decided just hours after most polls closed. The AP declared Trump the winner on election night at 2:29 a.m. (it was technically Wednesday morning on the East Coast).

Betting market Kalshi now has Donald Trump with a 60 percent chance of winning the election.

It’s three points higher for Trump than Kalshi’s Monday prediction.

Voters in Texas wait in the rain

By Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent

A storm system is moving across the Midwest from Texas to Canada and will affect the battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin as the cold front brings in bad weather.

A possible weak tornado could hit southern Wisconsin today, according to the National Weather Service. Rain, thunder and high winds have already hit that part of the state. In Milwaukee, rain is in the forecast through 8 p.m. Polls close at 9 p.m.

Rain is also expected across most of Michigan. Detroit is seeing a breezy 60 degrees and cloudy skies at the moment but rain could come this afternoon.

Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are part of Kamala Harris’ ‘blue wall’ – a victory in those three states would hand her the White House.

Pennsylvania is seeing beautiful weather but long lines at polling places as officials expect record turnout in the state.

Cloudy skies in Detroit where it could rain later this afternoon

For the rest of the battleground states, Arizona is expected to see beautiful weather as is Nevada.

Georgia and North Carolina could see rain late in the day.

In Texas, voters stood in the pouring rain, waiting to cast their ballot. Some polling stations in Missouri were flooded.

Parts of the Deep South will see record-high temperatures in the 70s and 80s, according to The Weather Channel.

Meanwhile, snow and possible blizzard conditions are forecast for parts of the Northwest including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana.

Trump’s running mate JD Vance just voted in his hometown of Cincinnati. His wife Usha and children looked on as he talked to the press afterwards.

He said he felt good abouy the way the result was headed and admitted he missed a call from the former president at 3am because he was in bed, asleep while Trump was flying back from his final event.

He was asked what he could do to heal the political divide in the country.

I think our message is, first of all, we do expect to win. But obviously, no matter who wins, half the country, as you said, is going to be at least partially disappointed. I think my attitude is the best way to heal the rift in the country is to try to govern the country as well as we can, create as much prosperity as we can for the American people, and remind our fellow Americans that we are all fundamentally on the same team, however we voted.

The pollster Nate Silver has released his final prediction of the 2024 election.

As of 12:30 am Tuesday and after 80,000 model simulations, Democrat Kamala Harris beat Donald Trump in just a hairsplitting 50.015% to Trump’s 49.985%.

That equates to Harris winning 40,012 simulations to Trump’s 39,718.

The outlying few were electoral ties that eventually resulted in Trump victories due to the House of Representatives’ involvement in the process in the case of a 269-269 electoral college draw.

The nail-biting race is one of the closest in history and is likely to be decided by a couple of thousand votes in smatterings across swing states.

Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada and Michigan will all be closely watched today as votes trickle in. Those states are the crucial swing states that will ultimately decide the outcome.

The Republican senator voted Tuesday morning at the St Anthony of Padua Maronite Catholic Church in Cincinnati.

He arrived with his wife Usha and their children.

‘Look, I feel good. You never know until you know, but I feel good about this race,’ Vance said after he and his wife cast their ballots.

Vance said he would depart for Palm Beach, Florida, later today to be with Donald Trump as results come in.

Kamala Harris returned to Washington D.C. in the early hours of Tuesday morning after her closing rally in Philadelphia.

She was accompanied by her husband Doug Emhoff, sister Maya Harris and brother-in-law Tony West, niece Meena Harris and her husband Nikolas Ajagu, and grand nieces Amara and Leela.

Harris is spending Election Day at the Naval Observatory, the vice president’s residence in Washington D.C., where she will call into radio interviews in several battleground states.

She will hold an election night rally at Howard University, her alma mater.

J.L. Partners has its final update for our election model this morning. And it is a big deal, wiping out much of Trump’s advantage from the past month and moving the whole thing squarely back into tossup territory.

Trump is predicted to win in 54.1 percent of simulation making our final call a TOSSUP TRUMP RACE – this is a drop of 6.3 points since yesterday, and a drop of almost 15 points since last week, based on a slew of Pennsylvania polls that were better for Harris, and which send ripples throughout the Blue Wall.

The most likely result gives Trump 287 Electoral College Votes to Harris’ 251. The election will hinge on Pennsylvania with 59 percent of simulations decided by this state.

There is major movement in the seven swing states that will decide the election:

In Arizona, Trump’s win probability has decreased by 2.5 points to 79.4 percenyt. It has moved from STRONG TRUMP to LIKELY TRUMP – undoing yesterday’s reclassification

Georgia saw Trump’s win probability decrease by 2.8 points to 73.9 percent and it remains a LIKELY TRUMP state.

Michigan saw Harris’ win probability increase by 3.9 points to 67.2 percent. It is now a LEAN HARRIS state.

Nevada saw Trump’s win probability decrease by 3.5 points to 57.6 percent, undoing some of yesterday’s increase. The state has shifted from LEAN TRUMP to TOSSUP TRUMP.

North Carolina saw Trump’s win probability decrease by 4.1 points to 71.3 percent. The state remains a LIKELY TRUMP state.

Pennsylvania saw Trump’s win probability decrease by 6.6 points to 55.2 percent. The state has shifted from LEAN TRUMP to TOSSUP TRUMP.

Wisconsin has seen a 6.1 point movement against Trump and Harris’ win probability sits at 67 percent. The state remains LEAN HARRIS.

Callum Hunter writes in his final briefing note:

Our final prediction is only certain in how uncertain this race is. It is likely going to be one of the closest races in modern US political history. The Sunbelt states seem fairly likely to fall into the Trump camp, with Nevada the closest state within this group. Meanwhile, Michigan and Wisconsin seem likely to go to Harris leaving Pennsylvania as the deciding state. Places like Erie county are likely to decide this election with fewer than 15,000 votes deciding the winner. This election is the political equivalent of the Battle of Waterloo – with Trump finally returning from his 2020 enforced exile. The question is, can he marshall his troops on the Pennsylvanian battlefield to carry the day or will the overwhelming ground game of the Harris-Walz campaign sweep him aside? Our model suggests the former is slightly more likely, but anything is still possible. If you want to know who will win the election, go grab a quarter and flip it.

The Vice Presidential hopeful was interviewed in a Philadelphiacoffee shop for the  segment.

The relaxed affair saw the two play a game of paper football as they chatted about Walz and Kamala Harris‘ plans for an ‘opportunity economy’.

House GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik said she is confident Donald Trump will win because of his surging numbers among women.

‘Trump is doing better with women than Kamala Harris is doing with men,’ House GOP Chair Elise Stefanik noted during an interview with CBS.

She said she has ‘zero concerns’ about the Republican’s fitness to lead and believes his pitch down the stretch has resonated with all Americans.

Pete Buttigieg argued a vote for Kamala Harris is a vote to have a ‘normal Republican Party again.’

The Transportation Secretary pointed to the divisiveness Donald Trump has brought to the other of the aisle as he appealed to GOP voters to cast their vote for Harris.

‘A vote for Kamala Harris is, I think, a vote for someday, having a more normal Republican Party again,’ he told CBS This Morning.

‘I think a lot of us just don’t want to feel like politics is punching us in the face,’ he added.

At first it seems like a filibuster. Of course J.D. Vance knows the price of a gallon of milk, he insists.

‘I do. I think. Right now?’ he says, sitting beside wife Usha on his campaign jet, nicknamed Trump Force Two.

‘I know the answer to this question very well. Are we talking about organic? Are we talking about the DC area… the Ohio area? Because at Kroger, the price of a gallon of milk, my guess is about $3.60 a gallon. Check, check if that’s right.’

A swift fact check ensues as staffers fiddle with phones, looking up the price at the Vance’s’ nearest store.

The answer comes back: $3.29, which is not bad for a former venture capitalist-turned-senator who now has to live inside a Secret Service bubble as running mate to Donald Trump.

‘If it wasn’t for him (Musk) we’d be f***ed,’ Rogan wrote on X just hours before the polls open.

‘He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.

With millions of voters in all 50 states casting ballots in the November 5 presidential election a final DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners national poll shows Trump with a lead that matches the survey’s margin of error, a trend in his favor but still a statistical dead heat.

That leaves the fate of the White House to a handful of so-called battleground states where the race still are polling as if they could could go either way on November 5 although there may be some telling trends within the polls.

Regardless of who wins the popular vote, the next president must win the Electoral College, which has a set of electors per state who select a candidate based on state results.

The tiny New Hampshire township of Dixville Notch, first in the nation to vote, saw a tie before Harris and Trump.

The town opened and closed its polls just after midnight EST, as is tradition, with four Republicans and two undeclared voters participating.

After 12 minutes of counting, the results showed three votes for Harris and three votes for Trump.

Back in 2020, Joe Biden won all the votes. In 2016, Hillary Clinton received four votes, Trump two and Gary Joghson one.

As the rivals have focused their efforts on securing votes in the battleground states that could determine the outcome of the election, Hollywood A-listers have been hoping their endorsements can sway the public.

Showbiz royalty, including Oprah and Beyoncé, have accompanied Harris, 60, on stage at her campaign events, urging voters to turn up at the polls.

People have lined up since the early hours of Tuesday to vote in the state of Pennsylvania, widely seen as critical to winning the White House.

Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin are also seen as crucial in the path to victory.

Jones, who worked for President Obama, told CNN on Monday that the final days of the 2024 election have looked eerily similar to Hillary Clinton‘s devastating loss in 2016.

‘The other thing that makes me nervous, in 2016, we had a big star-studded event right on the edge of the election, and we lost the state,’ Jones said.

‘I don’t think people understand, working people sometimes have to choose. Am I going to go to the big, cool concert and pay for babysitting for that or am I going to figure out a way to get to the polls? I don’t like these big star-studded events.’

Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump both spent the waning hours of their campaigns in the well-trodden swing states of Pennsylvania and Michigan, widely seen as critical to winning the White House.

Harris wrapped her day in Philadelphia, where Lady Gaga sang ‘God Bless America’ and Oprah Winfrey appeared on stage with first-time voters. Ricky Martin, who is from Puerto Rico, was also there to draw out Puerto Rican voters turned off by a comedian who called their homeland a “floating island of garbage” at a recent Trump rally.

‘Our people-powered movement reflects a simple and undeniable truth: that we are all in this together,’ Harris said.

Harris didn’t arrive at the vice president’s residence, the Naval Observatory, until 1:41 a.m.

Trump, meanwhile, spent the final hours of the day in Grand Rapids, Michigan, wrapping up around 2 a.m.

• Former president Trump landed back in Florida just hours ago after finishing his last rally after 2 a.m.
• He is expected to await the electoral results with his family at his residence in Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach.

• The early turnout in Georgia, which has flipped between the Republican and Democratic nominees in the previous two presidential elections, has been so robust — over 4 million voters — that a top official in the secretary of state’s office said the big day could look like a “ghost town” at the polls.

DailyMail.com was with Vance on ‘Trump Force Two’ as he slugged it out on the final hours of the campaign trail in a desperate bid to clinch victory.

There was beer, donuts, a lot of iced coffee and some surprising admissions from the VP hopeful.

Among his admissions was the one thing he never talks about with ‘superstitious’ Trump.

The first result came in last night in the tiny town of Dixville Notch in New Hampshire, where residents honored a tradition of casting ballots at the stroke of midnight.

But the result was an ominous forecast of what is one of the closest races in history – 3 for Trump, and 3 for Harris.

While a tie, it’s a sharp swing away from the Democrats.

Over the last six months I have traveled the swing states.

Two debates, two hurricanes, and countless interviews later, we have arrived at Election Day.

Because American political opinion is so diverse – and so polarized – there is no one type of swing voter who will determine the outcome.

Instead, the result hinges on several groups who, depending on how they move, will put Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in the White House.

This is the cast that will decide the election:

In what could be one of closest elections in U.S. history, the difference between the candidates could not be more stark.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have laid out two visions for America that are poles apart during the unprecedented 2024 campaign for the White House.

The rivals have each painted one another as extreme. They both warn their opponent will be a disaster for America.

When it comes to the economy, foreign policy, immigration, crime, abortion and taxes, both candidates have set out grand plans that would provide a crucial indicator of how the next four years will look like.

DailyMail.com has put together a guide to show where the candidates stand on a number of crucial policies that matter most to American voters.

It may go down as the closest race in presidential history.

As polling booths are flooded on Tuesday, the race will be essentially out of the candidates’ hands during the excruciating wait for the results to come in.

Here, we have put together an exhaustive guide detailing what Harris and Trump will be watching for as the drama unfolds.

For there are multiple scenarios which will leave them within touching distance of grabbing the keys to the White House.

Millions of voters are heading to the polls today to cast their ballots, but it could take some time to count the results.

What could give anxious Americans across the country some sense of where the country is headed is the exit polling which comes out as the results are coming in on Election Day.

The exit poll is the only survey conducted entirely of voters who have already cast their ballots in the election.

It gives voters and news organizations a better sense of what is happening on the ground with voters on Election Day and in early voting as the results come in.

The polling is conducted by Edison Research, which has been the only research firm to conduct national exit polling in the United States since 2004.

Here’s how it works:
