Immediately after the 2020 presidential election, protective measures to prevent the recurrence of violence such as the Capitol storm have been upgraded to an unusual level.

Around government agencies in Washington, DC, including the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the residence of Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, a 2.5-meter-high fence was set up.

There's not much time left until the vote starts, right?

[Reporter]
It's almost 8 p.m. here now.

Tomorrow is the presidential election day, and some constituencies in the eastern part of the country will start voting at midnight, so the main vote will begin in four hours.

However, in most constituencies, polling stations will open at 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. tomorrow, and in Alaska, voting will not close until tomorrow afternoon.

It may take a few days to announce the final results because it is necessary to complete both mail-in and early voting aggregation.

How does the last turn out?

[Reporter]
Until the last minute, there is a battle of ups and downs.

A New York Times poll released yesterday showed Harris winning four, two draws and one loss in seven contending states, but the results of today's congressional media The Hill survey were different.

Trump led in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, Georgia and other countries, while tied in Wisconsin and Nevada.

Michigan is the only state where Harris is ahead, but statistically, the organizer, The Hill, explains that it can be viewed as a tie.

FiveThirtyEight's graph, which compiles various polling averages, put Harris ahead by 1.1 percentage points for the nation's approval rating.

However, as the gap with Trump has narrowed, the gap in approval ratings is meaningless.

Both candidates are focusing on targeting contending states until the end, right?

[Reporter]
Harris is campaigning in five locations in Pennsylvania alone, which is considered a key contending state.

Vice President Harris is highlighting Trump's message to end the era of conflict and division and move on to a new era.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[CAMALA HARRIS / VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We have the momentum. This is because our campaign boosts the ambitions, aspirations, and dreams of the American people. This is because we are optimistic and excited about what we will do together.]

Former President Trump has been campaigning in the southern rival state of North Carolina, and has been campaigning for the long haul through Pennsylvania to Michigan.

Trump is stressing that Democrats must win a landslide victory, saying it will cause another election fraud following the 2020 presidential election. Let's listen to it.

[Donald Trump / Former U.S. President: Can you imagine? They have spent a lot of money on the counting machine and say it could take 12 days for the results to come out. What do you think will happen in those 12 days? [It's a scam]

The presidential election is expected to proceed in an unpredictable state where the final winner and when the conclusion will be made are unknown.
