US election 2020: Donald Trump against Joe Biden - The decision is near
More than 92 million voters have
already cast
their votes in the
US election
.
In Texas in particular, the rush for
early voting was
huge * - at least 9.67 million people voted before Tuesday, November 3rd.
In the 2016 election year there were less than nine million.
Due to the large number of votes already cast, the usual "exit polls", surveys outside the polling station, could be less precise this year.
It
is unclear
when the
exact
result of the
US election will be
determined.
Depending on the distribution of votes in the important
swing states of
Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Arizona, the outcome could become clear relatively early.
US media are allowed to announce the winner of the election from 5 a.m. (CET) at the earliest.
