U.S. polling stations across the country closed

WASHINGTON- The polling stations in the United States (U.S.) have been declared now all closed.

Since the U.S. spans several time zones, the closing of the polling stations took several hours.

The winner of the presidential election had not yet been decided, although two major battleground states have been called for Republican Donald Trump and he seems to be closing on victory.

To win, a candidate needs 270 votes from electors across the country. (dpa/NAN)
