A pivotal US election that will decide party control of Congress was entering its final stage Tuesday evening as polls began to close in some Eastern states with Americans deeply divided.
There were sporadic reports of glitches with voting machines in places including Arizona, fueling unsubstantiated claims of fraud from some Republicans. Candidates who deny the validity of the 2020 election are on the ballot across the country, many for roles that will oversee future elections.
Early results in some Eastern battleground districts will signal whether Republicans, who are expected to win the House, will do so in a rout.
