If the US decides to stop its malign behaviour against Iran, then it will be a different story no matter who

sits in the White House," Zarif said.

Arab media outlets gave high prominence to special coverage of the election, though for some this was
overshadowed by news of the attacks in Austria.

In its morning bulletin, Saudi-funded Al Arabiya said ballot boxes will open “amidst unprecedented
division and tensions in the street in anticipation of riots and demonstrations”.

Turkey's pro-government media have mostly appeared to favour the re-election of Trump, citing his
warm ties with President Erdogan.

Both the liberal Karar and the nationalist opposition Yenicag newspapers suggested the election may
“end up at the police station” as the candidates may “object” to the results.

China's official Xinhua News Agency ran an article under the headline: "Anxiety, pandemic prelude US
Election Day as presidential candidates make final push".

Elsewhere, a commentary in the state-run tabloid Global Times said that Chinese people were paying
attention to domestic affairs rather than the election.

Why a candidate with the most votes could still lose

ReutersCopyright: Reuters

Election observers say the US could be on course for record-breaking voter turnout this year. But it's
possible the candidate with the most votes from the public won't be the winner.

In the US election, voters decide state-level contests rather than an overall single national one.

To be elected president, a candidate must win at least 270 votes in what's called the electoral college.
Each US state gets a certain number of votes partly based on its population, and there are a total of 538
up for grabs.

It's therefore possible for a candidate to become president by winning a number of tight races in certain
states, despite having fewer votes across the country.
