A presidential campaign unlike any other ends on Wednesday. Here’s how we got here

It's the election that no one could have foreseen. Not so long ago, Donald Trump was marinating in anger at Mar-a-Lago after being impeached twice and voted out of the White House. Even some of his closest allies were looking forward to a future without the charismatic yet erratic billionaire leading the Republican Party, especially after his failed attempt to overturn an election ended in violence and shame. When Trump announced his comeback bid two years ago, the New York Post buried the article on page 26. At the same time, Kamala Harris was languishing as a low-profile sidekick to US President Joe Biden. Once seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, she struggled with both her profile and her portfolio, disappointing her supporters and delighting her critics. No one w...

50 states will vote in the US election. These seven battlegrounds are the only ones that actually matter

There might be 50 states in the United States, but only seven of them really matter in this year's presidential election. The small handful of key battleground states are the only contests in the nation where both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are considered a genuine chance of winning, and thus hold the key to the presidential race. They certainly were in 2020 – while Joe Biden won the popular vote by about seven million ballots, it was winning Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin by less than a combined 45,000 votes that sent him to the White House. Pennsylvania Electoral votes: 19 2020 result: Biden win 2016 result: Trump win Arguably the most important of the battlegrounds thanks to its 19 electoral college votes (one fewer than what it had in ...

What happens after US election day? All the key dates you need to know about

Americans are about to head to the polls to vote for president on November 5, but US election day is far from the end of the electoral process. Almost a quarter of a year passes between ballots being cast and the next president being sworn in. These are the key dates you need to know about. Note all dates are listed in local US time, roughly half a day behind AEDT. November 6-December 11: States certify election results After votes are cast, states have to certify them. This happens both at a local or county level, and a state-wide level.

Why US election officials are running livestreams of ballot counting

Claims of voter fraud and ballot rigging have been echoed by Donald Trump and Republican supporters since the former president's 2020 election defeat. Four years on, election officials are determined history won't repeat itself and the election be dogged by claims which were proven to be false. In a bid for transparency, local governments across America – including those in key battleground states – are running livestreams of ballot processing.

"I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico," said Tony Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comic whose se...
