US voters cast ballots with security tight as election campaign nears end

Several states increase security measures amid bomb threats as Trump and Harris make final pleas to supporters.

Millions of Americans have lined up at polling stations across the United States to choose between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris in a historic presidential race that remains too close to call.

Voting was under way on Tuesday with no major disruptions, as both candidates spent Election Day urging their supporters to cast their ballots, stressing that the stakes could not be higher.

“Today we vote for a brighter future,” Harris wrote in a post on X, linking to a national directory of polling sites.

Harris spent part of the day calling radio stations in an effort to encourage her supporters to vote. “We’ve got to get it done. Today is voting day, and people need to get out and be active,” CNN quoted Harris as telling one radio station in Georgia.
