The last days of the US election campaign. What do Americans who voted early say?

From Alaska, already covered with snow, through Nebraska, where you can vote without even leaving your car, to the Atlantic coast – Americans are lining up in long lines at polling stations because the so-called early voting is taking place there.

“It's important to get involved early voting because it shows that we want to vote as quickly as possible and that we're serious about who wins,” said Hannah Burgess, a resident of Hiawassee, Georgia.

Attendance records are already breaking, although at the same time the teams are trying to convince the unconvinced people. In Arizona, which is one of the key states of this election, Democrats organized a campaign rodeo. – I consider myself a Democrat, but I leaned towards the Republicans. I'm shocked at how many Democrats around me – like my family – want to vote Republican. They keep telling me, 'Vote for Trump. Vote for Trump,'” says Frances Sanchez, a resident of Phoenix, Arizona.

Not only is the choice difficult, in some places getting to the polling station is a challenge. North Carolina is still dealing with the effects of Hurricane Helena. There is debris in the streets and, for example, there are problems with the sewage system at polling points.

– Our teams work in shifts for 5 to 6 hours. These people must have access to at least a toilet. Water supplies are also an important aspect. But luckily, we managed to organize everything and we have a lot of containers, says Teri Gentile, election commissioner in Asheville, North Carolina.

For voters who are indigenous to North America, the most difficult thing is still the bloody history of these areas and trusting any of the candidates. – Asking indigenous people to vote is a really serious request. We know what the United States government is capable of, and at the same time this government has never taken responsibility for all the terrible things it has done to Native Americans, says Gabriella Cazares-Kelly, a representative of the Native American community.

In terms of elections, this is an important ethnic group, because in the entire United States there are approximately 8 million voters who are Native Americans. And thanks to political rhetoric – which highlighted differences and divisions – racial, religious and ideological issues became the axis of this campaign. That is why the war in the Middle East has become such a politically sensitive topic.

– As an American Muslim, and specifically an American with Palestinian roots, I am highly disappointed. It seems that neither party is really interested in stopping the genocide, says Mahmoud Ali, a resident of Washington.

Just before Election Day, Trump's team decided to deepen the divisions even further – this time by involving non-binary and transgender people in the campaign. Republicans released a spot that contrastingly stated that Kamala Harris is for those who use gender-neutral pronouns, when Donald Trump is simply for you. – I am a non-binary person and I use these pronouns, so this spot is quite comical for me. In a strange way, it's even affirming, says Clay Ihle from Michigan.

In a confectionery shop in Ohio, they are trying to gain some distance from serious campaign disputes, although the elections have intervened there as well. A cookie survey has been organized there for years. You can buy cookies with candidates' images or choose an undeclared variant. Every cookie counts as a vote there. – We have been doing this cookie survey for 40 years and the best thing is that in 9 out of 10 cases we correctly predicted the election results – says Dan Busken, owner of the bakery.

This year, Donald Trump has a significant advantage, but the cookie result may not translate into real support, because Elon Musk, who openly supported the Republican candidate, encouraged people to participate in this poll on social media.
