Yes, I'm at the Arlington County polling station in Virginia]

I don't think it's dawn yet, has the voting started?

[Reporter]
Yes, it's going toward 6 a.m. in the eastern part of the United States right now.

At the polling station where I am, the voting starts at 6 o'clock in a little while, and voters are showing up one by one.

Just a moment ago, we saw poll workers busy preparing to start voting,
One voter, who arrived before the
polling station opened, even said he couldn't sleep last night thinking about voting day.

In most U.S. constituencies, voting begins and finishes at 6 a.m. or 7 a.m. and ends at 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Alaska, the last state to vote, closes at 3 p.m. tomorrow, including the small western islands.

Virginia has a strong Democratic tax here, so after the vote, the results of the vote are expected to come out relatively early.

However, the seven contending stocks that will determine the victory or defeat of the presidential election are likely to be close, so it could take several days for the results of the vote to be counted.

Some constituencies have already been voted on?

[Reporter]
Yes, Dixville Notch, a small town in the northeastern U.S. state of New Hampshire, began voting at midnight local time and 2 p.m. local time.

The vote ended quickly because there were only six voters.

In autonomous districts with less than 100 residents, the results came out immediately under a law that allows them to immediately disclose the results of the vote count.

Let's listen to the results.

The result was a 3-3 draw as if it had been planned, and this Dixville Notch was where the Democratic Party won the last two presidential elections.

Until the end, the situation came out very close?

[Reporter]
Yes, even if you look at the poll conducted until yesterday, there was a close race within the margin of error.

Atlas Intel's survey over the past two days showed Trump leading by a margin of 1 percentage point.

Another survey just before it is not easy to determine the victory or defeat with a national poll because Harris has a 1-2%p lead.

Nate Silver, dubbed a presidential tweezers statistician, announced his forecast of results on the day of the presidential election, saying that 80,000 simulations showed Harris won 40,12 times.He added that

0.03%p is such a minute difference that even the presidential tweezers do not know what to say.

As such, it is predicted that the all-time super-contest presidential election is likely to become a reality.

[Anchor]
Both Harris and Trump continued their all-out campaigns to the end, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Harris emphasized the power of positivity on the campaign trail on the last day of the election.

Without mentioning Trump's name, he focused on the message of refraining from negative attacks as much as possible and opening a new page in the United States.

Yesterday, Harris continued her campaign in Pennsylvania alone, a key contending state, in five places.

Let's hear Harris' last message.

[CAMALA HARRIS / VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES] I look forward to a more hopeful future that we will build together. And we end the night with optimism, vigor, just as we started with joy.]

Former President Trump, who staged a campaign rally from North Carolina, a southern rival state, to northern Michigan, finished his last campaign after 2 a.m.

He stressed that he would regain the White House with a landslide victory in the presidential election, saying he seems to have campaigned 900 times in this presidential election.

He said his last campaign in Michigan was going to be the last election campaign of his life and that he put everything into it. Let's listen to it.

[Donald Trump / Former President of the United States] This is my last, last campaign. Can you believe it? This big, beautiful campaign, it was unprecedented. All you need to know is that I'm going to fix the America that Biden and Kamala broke.]

Vice President Harris will watch the results today at Howard University in Washington.

It's a prestigious black university, and it's also Vice President Harris' alma mater.

Trump, on the other hand, will wait for the results of the vote at a convention center in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA Today reported.

However, if the results of the vote come out according to the current poll, it is unlikely that the final winner will be determined within today, so neither candidate will be able to declare victory while watching the results of the vote count.

So far, I've been reporting from the Arlington County, Virginia polling station.
