This year, Georgia and Ohio ballots have presidential candidates on them, for whom votes will not be counted. This has never happened before in any state in the United States. In Georgia, after the ballots were printed, the State Supreme Court said the petitions for Claudia De la Cruz and Cornel West were invalid. In Ohio, after the ballots were printed, the Secretary of State said Jill Stein had accidentally withdrawn. So, in both states, voters will see names on the ballot but if they vote for those names, their vote won’t be counted.

Guam votes for president, even though it has no electoral votes. Polls close in Guam at 8 p.m. local time, which is 5 a.m. in the eastern U.S. time zone. The votes are counted quickly and the results should be known throughout the United States in the morning of Election Day.

The presidential candidates on the ballot are the nominees of the Democratic, Republican, Green, American Solidarity, Prohibition, Socialist Parties, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Guam has always voted for the winner except in 1980 and 2016.

On November 1, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously refused to block the recent decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that allowed voters who make a mistake on their mail ballot to then cast a provisional ballot. See the order here. Republican National Committee v Genser, 24A408.

The type of the error involved in this particular case was the failure of the voter to enclose a secrecy envelope.
