Washington: Election Day voting was underway across the eastern and central U.S. on Tuesday morning after tens of millions of Americans had already cast their ballots.

Those early votes included record numbers in Georgia, North Carolina and other battleground states that could decide the winner.

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.

As of Monday, Associated Press tracking of advance voting nationwide showed roughly 82 million ballots already cast - slightly more than half the total number of votes in the presidential election four years earlier.
