Voting in the garage and choosing a weapon as a symbol of the country: how the midterm elections for the US Congress are going. The first sites in Indiana and Kentucky have already closed. The final segment will close in San Francisco at 23:00 local time (7:00 Moscow time). Donald Trump intends to personally monitor the results of the midterm elections. "I follow the results of the early elections on Fox News, but I can't stand the voice of Jessica Tarlov, stupid as a cork, but it is her voice that annoys me," he criticized the Democratic political strategist. Although there is no information about the results of the elections, the local media is talking about oddities on election day: during the mid-term elections, the residents of the American state of Idaho, in addition to the representatives to Congress, were asked to choose the official weapons of the state, according to a notice on the website of the local election commission. Idaho residents can choose from Winchester 1894, Winchester 1873 and M1 Garand rifles, a Colt 1873 pistol, a Colt M1911 semi-automatic pistol and a Remington Model 700 bolt action rifle. In San Francisco, hairdressers, restaurants, flower shops, galleries, workshops and garages were converted into polling stations. Due to the density of the population, the city had to equip a place that is not intended for voting for the elections, writes the New York Times. Eight polling stations in the United States will be closed later due to technical problems, the Associated Press reported. In North Carolina, technical problems were identified at five sites. The point action in Georgia was the longest, at 45 minutes. At the polls in Kansas, they mistakenly ordered only 100 ballots; They sold out within an hour, CNN reports. According to the local authorities, due to the incident, voting was actually interrupted for an hour and a half; Some voters did not wait for additional forms to be submitted and left. Election machines in New York state failed to process up to 250,000 ballots, said the head of the local government, Ken Jenkins.
