Description
On the final day Americans cast their votes, the US presidential election remains tighter than ever.

How have Kamala Harris and Donald Trump been trying to convince them? And which states lie in their path to victory and the White House? Lucy Hockings speaks to the BBC’s senior North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue and digital reporter Ana Faguy, who tell us which of the early results might give an indication of who's in the lead.
