The first polling stations are selected – DW – June 11, 2024

After allowing voting centers in person or exceptionally like the small village of Dixville Notch in New Hampshire to perform in the middle of the competition with fewer than 100 residents, the mayor's office of the first voting centers in the United States recently died at 05:00 local time (10:00 GMT ). The first to reach the polls were the Vecinos of Vermont on the Costa Este (Northeast).

Comes at a historic moment when the country elected Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican ex-mandate Donald Trump (2017-2021). At 6:00 a.m. local time (11:00 GMT), entrances to the electoral colleges of other states (Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, New Jersey, New York and Virginia) opened, followed by media hours to Ohio, Virginia Occidental and Carolina del Norte. I recently considered a “Bisagra” key to determine who lives in Casa Blanca.

The deadlines for the voting centers varied considerably, namely 50 stadiums in EE. UU. The Distrito de Columbia has received different timetables for its houses, and every year it has completed its elections with the timetables and the special conditions of the elections.

By 12:00 GMT at the latest, voting took place in the mayor's office of the center of the Distrito de Columbia and in 17 stadiums with different places of residence: Alabama, Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Luisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Misuri, Rhode Island , Carolina del Sur, Wyoming, Georgia, Pensilvania and Michigan, these are three final, “bisagra” stages.

An hour later, at 1:00 p.m. GMT, we went to the center and other stadiums with the following hour horizons: Arizona, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Dakota del Norte, Dakota del Sur, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin. The media has already left central Arkansas at 2:00 p.m. GMT and can be seen in other cities (Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Nuevo México and Utah). Lastly, California and Idaho followed at 3:00 p.m. GMT, then Washington and Alaska at 4:00 p.m. GMT, and finally Hawaii at 5:00 p.m. GMT.

I hope that tens of thousands of voters have cast their votes, more than 80 million people who pre-voted you in the last few weeks. The final result could only be reached after several days as the results were adjusted as the results suggested, increasing tension in a deep division in the country.
