    Thank you for joining our live coverage of the US 2020 election - it’s now just four days until election day. We’ll be bringing you the latest news and analysis from the campaign trail and from our correspondents on the ground.

    We’re taking a closer look today at early voting, which is happening in record numbers. It’s also bringing fear of a contested election, including legal challenges to the result that could go up to the highest US court - the Supreme Court. And it’s reminding some observers of an infamous election in 2000 when it took weeks to determine who was the new president of the United States.
