Focus Moment! U.S. Elections, new news has arrived!
Indiana and Kentucky were the first states to end voting in the presidential election.
1. At 6 p.m. Eastern Time on November 5 (7 a.m. Beijing time on the 6th), except for a few congressional district areas, polling stations in Indiana and Kentucky gradually closed, becoming the two states to end voting earliest in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, followed immediately by the counting of votes.
Local time on the 5th was the official voting day for the U.S. presidential election. Due to time zone differences and varying state regulations, the voting end times on that day differ from state to state. The latest state to end voting is Alaska, which will close at 1 a.m. Eastern Time on the 6th (2 p.m. Beijing time on November 6). Hawaii is the second to last state to end voting, closing at midnight Eastern Time on the 6th (1 p.m. Beijing time on November 6).
If the election situation is not very tight, major U.S. media may predict the winner on the night of the election day. Conversely, it may take several days to determine who the winner is.

2. As of 6 p.m. Eastern Time on November 5 (7 a.m. Beijing time on the 6th), over 20 states in the U.S. have opened polling stations for the 2024 presidential election, including North Carolina, Delaware, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts.
Attorneys general from 47 states and 3 U.S. territories issued a joint statement that day, calling for a "peaceful transfer of power" after the elections, and stated that they would "condemn any violence related to the election results." The statement indicated that the judicial department would enforce laws against related illegal activities.
It is reported that, except for the states of Indiana, Montana, and Texas, attorneys general from all states in the U.S. have signed the statement. The attorneys general from Washington D.C., American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have also signed the statement. According to U.S. media reports, nearly four years after the events of the January 6th Capitol riot, concerns among the American public about election violence still persist.
According to a report from the Associated Press on the 5th, in this election, polling in the "swing states" keeps flipping, leading to a high degree of uncertainty in the final results. Although regulations vary slightly from state to state, polling stations generally close at 7 p.m. local time. However, due to an extremely tight election situation, there may be recounts in some key states. This means that the election results may take several hours or even days to be announced. U.S. media generally believe that the 2024 election is the most closely contested presidential election in recent years and one of the most evenly matched presidential elections in U.S. history.
