US election: Voters wait in long lines, cast ballots after polarizing presidential race

Millions of Americans are expected to head to the polls Nov. 3, and after months of campaigning during the coronavirus pandemic, President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will soon find out their fate.

Voters in the diverse Texas city, Houston, joined their fellow Americans across the United States on Tuesday to cast ballots for their candidates in one of the most polarizing presidential elections in U.S. history.

At one intersection, a small group supporting Trump spoke into a bullhorn as drivers passed by, telling supporters of rival Biden that a vote for the Democratic party would be check box for "Communism" and that Biden wants to keep them "in chains."

Trump voter Andy Valadez, who says he hasn't worn a "COVID mask" in eight months, blew into an animal horn wrapped in the American flag as the others waved giant pro-Trump banners. He said he hoped Trump will make firing one of his top pandemic advisors, Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the first things he does after the election.

Nearby, Biden supporter Nan Parker stood holding up Biden signs along the same stretch of roadway. She said had just left her gym's spin class when she saw the Trump supporters and became inspired to rally for her own nominee on election day.

Long lines were being reported by social media users across the United States during election day on Nov. 3.

Voters and election officials in Lee County, Fla. reported malfunctioning voting machines on election day. The Lee County Supervisor of Elections reported that electronic scanners across the county were not reading the second page of ballots, according to local reports.
