The U.S. territory of Guam has voted for Kamala Harris in its non-binding straw poll on the U.S. presidency. However, her margin over former President Donald J. Trump is much tighter than that of Joe Biden in 2020, and an exit poll suggests that the GOP will take over the island’s legislature.
Harris eked out Trump with 49.46 percent to 46.22 percent support. In 2020, Biden won 55.38 percent, and in 2016, Hillary Clinton won 71.6 percent. If a similar swing towards Trump is replicated in formerly Democrat-voting areas in the U.S. proper, it could spell trouble for the Vice President.
Meanwhile, an exit poll for Guam’s legislative elections suggests the Republican Party will secure a majority for the first time since 2008.

The legendary Harry’s Bar in Paris, France, is leaning toward a victory for President Donald J. Trump in a straw poll that has accurately predicted the winner of every presidential election, except for three, since 1924.
The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam reported on X that the bar, which invented several iconic cocktails like the French 75 and the Bloody Mary, is leaning toward a Trump victory.
Was sent this from the storied Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, birthplace of the French 75, the Bloody Mary, and famed for its celebrated customers like Ernest Hemingway, Coco Chanel, and Humphrey Bogart.
He posted a picture showing the bar’s straw poll, which has 383 votes for President Trump to 360 votes for Democrat Kamala Harris.
“The clientele are typically tourists and expats, and they hold a straw poll amongst those who can prove U.S. citizenship every election. Harry’s straw poll has only been wrong three times since 1924. This year, it’s trending Trump!” Kassam stated.
Several other informal polls have also predicted a Trump win, including a cookie poll at an Ohio bakery which predicted every election since 1984, except for the 2020 election. In Tampa, Florida, another cookie poll predicts a landslide victory for Trump.

Technical issues in part of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, caused significant delays, holding up would-be voters in West Pittston’s Ward 2 for nearly two hours. According to the Judge of Elections for Ward 2, the machines displayed an error message when polls opened.
While technicians worked to fix the issue, around 100 voters were issued emergency ballots to complete by hand. Unlike provisional ballots, these emergency ballots are treated the same as machine-cast votes, ensuring they are counted in the final tally. By 9 AM, workers resolved the technical issue, allowing the machines to resume normal operation.
Issues with voting machines and tabulators have also been reported in Pennsylvania’s Cambria County, Michigan’s Bay County, Virginia’s Caroline County, two New York precincts, and Arizona’s Apache County, with further issues rumored elsewhere.
Additionally, polling sites in Fulton County, Georgia, were briefly abandoned after receiving several bomb threats.

Nearly 80 million Americans voted early in the 2024 presidential election. A total of 47 of the 50 states allow for early voting, with only Mississippi, Alabama, and New Hampshire barring the practice.
The early vote totals for this year’s election cycle are down significantly from the pandemic conditions of 2020, hitting only about 70 percent of the 110 Americans who voted in the prior presidential contest. While Democrats far outpaced Republicans during the 2020 early vote, that has not been the case in 2024.
As of Election Day, November 5, Democrats hold 41 percent of the early vote, with Republicans trailing by just two points at 39 percent. Meanwhile, independent voters comprise the remaining 20 percent of the early vote. As expected, the 2024 early vote skews heavily towards senior citizens, with 39 percent of early voters over 65. Those between 50 and 64 years of age made up the next largest contingent at 27 percent. Americans between 40 and 49 only accounted for 13 percent of the early vote. Millennials between the ages of 30 and 39 made up 11 percent, while those under 30 only made up 10 percent.
The early vote was skewed toward women voters—who made up 53 percent of the electorate before election day. Men comprised just 44 percent.
Republicans made a concerted effort to push their voters to cast ballots early in the 2024 election—hoping to build up sizable leads in several key swing states. The strategy appears to have worked, with healthy leads being held in Arizona and Nevada. Additionally, the Democratic advantage in Pennsylvania appears to be significantly lower than it was in 2020 or 2016.

At least one voting machine in a Virginia county has been reported to have malfunctioned and shut down. The local elections board chairman confirmed that voters have been asked to switch to emergency paper ballots.
John Nunnall, Chairman of the Caroline County Elections Board, stated that the voting machine went down in the Fort Royal precinct and that the voting machine was being fixed for a second time.
Journalist Kyle Becker reports that Nunnally said he has a spare voting machine on standby and will be heading to Fort Royal to access and fix the issue.
While Virginia was a big win for President Joe Biden in 2020, polling suggests that the race between President Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris could be much tighter in the state this year.
The report from Virginia follows multiple other reports of malfunctioning voting machines, particularly ballot-counting machines.

Electronic vote tabulators failed to function for about an hour this morning in Beaver Township, Bay County, Michigan. The machines appear to have been down for about an hour before election officials were able to get them working again.
A local woman, speaking with social media personality Dave Bondy, first reported the issue. “She said the election worker told her the vote tabulator machine went down. She and others who were voting gave their ballots to the worker who assured them the vote would be counted,” Bondy wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He added: “She was also told the worker was calling txhe County Clerk to troubleshoot the issue with the machine.”

Voting machine issues are reportedly causing disruptions at polling locations in Apache County, Arizona, with some voters being turned away, according to Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren. In a social media post, President Nygren urged voters not to leave polling sites without casting their ballots, writing, “DON’T GET TURNED AWAY FROM THE POLLS!”
“Apache County voters, we understand that voting machines are down, and some voters are being turned away without casting a ballot in the federal and state elections,” he wrote, urging voters in areas experiencing issues to request a provisional ballot and present a government-issued photo ID to ensure their vote is counted.
“If you are denied a provisional ballot, contact the Native Vote Hotline,” he said, stressing that voters should stay at their polling location until they have voted.

Voting machines and ballot tabulators are reportedly not functioning in several heavily Jewish areas in New York state. A precinct in Scarsdale, New York, saw its two voting machines fail as polls opened this morning. Meanwhile, several ballot scanners in Park Slope, Brooklyn, are reportedly broken, according to locals who went to cast their vote in the presidential race on Tuesday morning.
“We were told after filling in our ballots that all scanners were broken, so we should put our ballots in the emergency ballot boxes below the scanners, and they would be scanned in late,” Park Slope resident Miyuki Miyagi said.
“I didn’t even think to wait or ask for an alternative way to vote. The emergency ballot boxes were quite full already, too,” Miyagi added.
Park Slope is also home to a significant number of the hundreds of thousands of Jews who call Brooklyn home, as is Scarsdale. The war between Israel and Hamas has been a major issue on the campaign trail, particularly for Democrat Kamala Harris, who has a significant number of allies who are anti-Israel.
The National Pulse reported earlier this morning that Cambria County, Pennsylvania, suffered problems with its electronic vote tabulators, forcing the locality to switch to paper ballots and hand tabulation.

Two polling sites in Fulton County were briefly evacuated Tuesday morning after receiving bomb threats. According to Nadine Williams, Fulton County’s Director of Registration and Elections, five polling stations in total were targeted. While authorities deemed the threats non-credible, the Etris-Darnell Community Center and C.H. Gullatt Elementary School were evacuated for about half an hour. Both sites have since reopened and resumed normal operations.
Williams says the county is now pursuing a court order to extend voting hours at these two locations past the standard 7 PM statewide deadline to make up for the interruption.
South Fulton School Police reported that at around 8:15 AM, someone had also alerted them to potential bomb threats at several schools on Election Day. While no threats were found, officers conducted thorough safety checks across the campuses, including Feldwood Elementary School, to ensure safety.
“At this time, we do not believe these threats are credible,” police stated. “However, with several polling sites located within schools, we are aware of the potential for further attempts by bad actors to create panic and disrupt voting.”
Fulton County is best known for its association with the Democrat District Attorney, Fani Willis, who brought a controversial lawfare case against former President Donald J. Trump and his associates in the run-up to the election.

Pennsylvania’s Cambria County has been forced to make an election day switch to paper ballots following widespread issues with voting machines in the heavily Republican locality.
The technology issue predominately impacts ballot scanners, meaning the printed electronic votes must be hand-counted for tabulation.
“The Cambria County Board of Election learned early this morning that a software malfunction in the County’s Electronic Voting System has prevented voters from scanning their ballots. This should not discourage voters from voting at their voting precincts,” Cambria County solicitor Ron Repak said in a statement early Tuesday morning. He added: “The Board has filed a Court Order extending the time to vote within Cambria County. No one should be turned away from the polls if they wish to cast their vote. Cambria County Board of Elections took measures to have IT specialists called to review the software issue. There is a process in place for issues of this nature.”
The Cambria County official claims that “[a]ll completed ballots will be accepted, secured, and counted by the Board of Elections.”
“The County Board of Elections has express voting machine at precinct locations to continue to allow voting electronically, while still allowing hand ballots to be cast,” Repak said, adding that all votes will be counted.
Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Department of State issued a statement saying it is aware of the situation in Cambria County and is working with local officials on a solution. “Voters are continuing to vote by paper ballot, in accordance with normal operations, while the county resolves the issue with in-precinct scanning,” it said in a post on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “We are working with the County to resolve this technical matter and remain committed to ensuring a free, fair, safe, and secure election.”
