Power stations closed in the vast territories of the east coast, as well as in the central and southwestern regions of the United States. According to voting in these states, Trump gained 177 votes in the board of electors against 99 at Harris.
Power stations closed in such key states as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, as well as in more than three dozen others.
The Associated Press Agency announced Harris the winner in New Jersey and New York, while Trump won North Dakot, South Dakota, Louisiana, Texas, Wyoming and Nebro.
To win, any of the candidates needs to gain 270 votes of electors. Electors are distributed between the States depending on their population, and most of the states give all their delegates to the candidate who will win in this state at a general vote.
However, the winner-all model is not applied in Nebrak and Menna: there the voices are distributed depending on the voting results in the Congress districts, as well as on the winner of the popular vote in the state.
The closure of polling stations will occur at an interval of half an hour or an hour. The final closure of sites on Hawaii will occur at midnight in eastern time (0500GMT), and in Alaska – at one in the morning of eastern time (0600GMT).
The race will almost certainly be reduced to seven key states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolin and Wisconsin.
Both candidates spent the last week before the elections, conducting an active campaign in these states. On Monday, Harris visited Pennsylvania, where she held a series of rallies in several cities. Trump spent a day before a night rally at Grand Rapids, Michigan.
