Voting stations are opened for elections in a number of American states

 INA-Follow-up

Polling stations were opened for elections in a number of American states to elect a new president. Today, Tuesday, Americans are resolving the electoral conflict, which has been going on for several weeks, between the incumbent Republican President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

Presidential elections are held this year in exceptional circumstances, due to the outbreak of the Corona epidemic, which also imposed exceptional measures and made voting by mail instead of going to the polls, which will make the counting of votes more difficult, and the announcement of the results may require more time than usual.

Many in the United States fear that if the outcome is too close, this year's elections may face legal challenges regarding rejected ballot papers, leading to further delay in the announcement of the result.
