US Elections 2024: Polling Day Operations and Potential Outcomes
As Americans head to the polls, certain states observe public holidays, while the election outcome could lead to a constitutional crisis if no candidate secures a majority.
- November 5 is not a federal holiday, but New York, Maryland, West Virginia, Hawaii, and Illinois have declared it a public holiday to facilitate voting.
- If neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump secures 270 Electoral College votes, the decision will fall to Congress, potentially favoring Republicans.
- Donald Trump has released a controversial campaign ad featuring Olympic boxer Imane Khelif, targeting the Biden-Harris administration.
- Weather forecasts for key battleground states are being closely monitored as they may impact voter turnout on Election Day.
- Some banks, post offices, and FedEx locations may be closed on November 5, depending on local decisions and state holiday designations.
