On November 3, local time, voting for the 2020 presidential election of the United States was held.
It has been 235 days since the United States entered a "national emergency" on March 13 due to the new crown epidemic.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 8 pm on the 3rd, the number of new coronary pneumonia infections in the United States reached 9.377 million, and the deaths exceeded 232,000.
In response to the epidemic, many states have expanded the channels for mail voting and extended the time for early voting.
According to statistics from the "U.S. Election Plan" website, more than 101 million people cast their votes in advance of election day.
Among them, more than 65 million votes were mailed.
The US presidential election implements an indirect electoral system called the Electoral College system.
The 538 electors representing 50 states and the capital, Washington, DC, form the electoral college to vote, and the presidential candidate who has obtained at least 270 electoral votes can enter the White House.
