The New York Times has looked, external at five possible hacks before election day. After US intelligence officials concluded Russian hackers were behind the breach on the Democratic Party, concerns over cyber attacks are legitimate. But some scenarios are still highly unlikely... 

1. More email leaks

The steady drip of hacked emails shared by WikiLeaks has already roiled Clinton's campaign. Will there be a new dump?

2. Voter registration rolls 

Addresses or other details on voter rolls could be altered, delaying polling places and leading to accusations of "rigging". The Department of Homeland Security has tested some state systems, but the process was rushed, according to the NYT. 

3. Interference with results reported to news outlets

Hackers could access election results as they are sent to the Associated Press, manipulating the results before the final call. This is a significant risk, but detectable, the NYT says.

4. Internet disruption

Wifi and internet disruptions on election days could prevent people from checking the location of their polling place or how to get there.

5. Voter machines

Hacking into voter machines may be unlikely, but it's possible. Most voting machines are not connected to the internet on election day, but many are connected before to update ballots and software. 

The BBC's James Cook, external has been speaking to voters in the border state of Arizona to ask their opinion of Donald Trump.

One rancher said: "You might hate his guts but he'll probably do something. And Hillary Clinton, I'll guaran-damn-tee it, ain't gonna do anything. So your choice."  

US media are reporting, external Donald Trump has not held a formal news conference in 100 days. 

The Republican nominee, who has lambasted Hillary Clinton for avoiding the media, held his last official news conference on 27 July.

Space age voting

A 1997 Texas bill passed by state legislators and signed by then-Governor George W Bush created a technical procedure that allowed astronauts to vote from space.

Astronaut Kate Rubins, who returned to Earth on 30 October, cast her ballot from space, while Shane Kimbrough intends to vote from the International Space Station.

 Time limits in voting booth

 Indiana allows voters just three minutes in the voting booth during primary elections and only two minutes during general and municipal elections. But the law is typically not enforced and requires a poll official to remove that person.

"You know i have a lot of ideas. I can keep you here until the game starts on Sunday," she told the audience at Heinz Field.

"If we have a big win on Tuesday we will have a big wind behind our backs going into the government."  

Clinton is on stage in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, running through all the people that Trump has insulted in the past, and talking about how "thin-skinned" he is.

We're not sure why, although it was National Sandwich Day yesterday. 

Speaking in New Hampshire Trump says Hillary Clinton wants a "550% increase" on Syrian refugees let into our country.

"Her plan would mean generations of terrorism, extremism, and radicalism spreading into our schools and communities," he says.

"As president we will suspend the Syrian refugee programme. And we will keep radical Islamist terrorists the hell out of our country. We all have a heart but we see whats happening in Germany and France."

He adds that "we’re going to create safe zones all over Syria".

"Hillary wants to raise taxes big league", Mr Trump repeats twice.

"Save us!" a member of the audience yells out.

Governor Chris Christie has issued a statement in response to the convictions of his two former aides in connection to a 2013 political revenge plot involving the closure of a key bridge.   

"Like so many people in New Jersey, I'm saddened by this case and I'm saddened about the choices made by Bill Baroni, Bridget Kelly and David Wildstein. Today's verdict does not change this for me," he wrote.
