Donald Trump has cast doubt in advance on Tuesday’s election results, while Democratic challenger Joe Biden went on the offensive on the final full day of campaigning ahead of a vote that could have consequences for the US for years to come.

After the president threatened legal action on Sunday to stop vote counting in some crucial states such as Pennsylvania, his campaign released a statement on Monday accusing Democrats of trying to “subvert state deadlines for receiving and counting ballots”.
