Both former President Barack Obama and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz participated in election campaigns and political events on Tuesday to attract Democratic votes.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump lost the election by only about 21,000 votes to Joe Biden in 2020, according to AP.

Many chose to go and vote on Tuesday, for various reasons.

You don't know if there will be a snowstorm in November in Wisconsin, said Bryan Steil to the AP news agency.

It's a fantastic opportunity to go to your local polling station and vote when the weather is fine, continues Steil, who is himself running for a seat in the House of Representatives in Congress.

At the same time, the Justice Department announced that the authority has set up a website to help eligible voters affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton's passage to be able to vote. The information is aimed at residents of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

The website from the department will also help those who have lost their identification documents due to the destruction caused by the hurricanes.
