US Presidential election

The US presidential election is expected to close on November 4, with reports indicating that over 90 million voters have already voted using the early voting provision to avoid crowds that may be there during the Tuesday’s official voting day.

According to pollsters, former Vice President Joe Biden has taken a commendable lead.

In the US, for one to become President, he/she must get at least 270 state Electoral College votes.
