Polling stations in the so-called swing states in the United States of America are officially open, which is a moment that will definitely be followed with special attention both in America and in the world.
At 7 a.m. time on the East Coast of the United States of America, voting is open in several places, and the most important thing is that polling stations are open in swing states such as Georgia, Michigan, as well as Pennsylvania, which is also considered a key swing state in presidential race.
Citizens who went to the polls in the federal state of Pennsylvania told the BBC that America is at a crucial moment.
“We have to defend democracy,” said some voters and said they would vote for Kamala Harris.
As is known, in the American electoral system, the candidate who wins a total of 270 electors will win. Each state, depending on the number of inhabitants, has a certain number of electors, and the candidate who wins in a certain federal state takes all the electors with him.
Pennsylvania is also the most important swing state with 19 electors, followed by Georgia with 16 electors and North Carolina. They are followed by Michigan with 15 electors and Arizona with 11. States that are still considered swing states are Wisconsin with 10 electors and Nevada with six electors.
