Donald Trump and Kamala Harris continue to rack up US states, as voters in Florida narrowly reject a measure to overturn its six-week abortion ban.
With more than 90% of the vote in, it’s increasingly looking like a tough challenge for Kamala Harris to hang onto Georgia.
With Donald Trump still three percentage points ahead, she’ll need to do very well with the remaining urban votes yet.
We may be some way yet from this state being called, but excitement is building at this GOP watch party and there’s a strong feeling it’s going their way.
Meanwhile, Trump has said he would be prepared to concede defeat after Tuesday’s vote “if it’s a fair election”, while again raising concerns about the use of electronic voting machines.
“If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election, I would be the first one to acknowledge it… So far I think it’s been fair,” Trump, repeating a caveat that he has used many times on the campaign trail, told reporters after voting in Florida.
Wearing a red “Make America Great Again” cap, he reiterated his previous criticism of electronic voting machines, suggesting they were less secure than paper ballots and would delay the outcome being known.
“They spend all this money on machines… If they would use paper ballots, voter ID, proof of citizenship, and one-day voting, it would all be over by 10 o’clockin the evening. It’s crazy,” he told reporters in West Palm Beach.
He added: “Do you know that paper is more sophisticated now than computers? If it’s watermarked paper you cannot… It’s unbelievable what happens with it. There’s nothing you can do to cheat.”
Asked about fears of unrest after the election and whether he would call on supporters to avoid violence, he criticized the question.
“I don’t have to tell them that, that there’ll be no violence. Of course, there’ll be no violence. My supporters are not violent people,” Trump said.
