FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Voters choose between two candidates, one personality” – below is their description.
Observers have described the election as a referendum on Donald Trump and his handling of Covid-19. Though widely seen as a divisive candidate, latest vote counts suggest the election is his to lose. Matt Terrill, for Republican-linked PR firm Firehouse Strategies, says voters liked what they saw in the president, who was able to shift the discussion to jobs and the economy.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
