Record Turnout Expected As Polls Open Today In US Election

A record turnout is expected for the US presidential election later today as America decides between Donald Trump and Joe Biden,

97.6 million people have already cast their ballots early, with the pandemic bringing a massive shift to postal voting. It's close to two thirds of the 150 million who came out four years ago.

Polling stations on the US East Coast will open up from 11 o'clock Irish time.

Both candidates have been focusing on Pennsylvania, a state which could determine who wins.
