‘My opponent looks like Saddam’s son’

THEY call it polling day but, in reality, polling has already being going on for weeks.

Florida opened its voting stations last week, but made a hash of its new electronic voting system.

In all, 30 US States allow people to cast their vote early. Some have introduced it for the first time and the turnout has been brisk. In Georgia, there are massive queues with voters waiting an average of three hours.
