However, people reacted to the video shared on social media (Instagram) on Saturday (Nov 2) saying, "There's so much room for error".&nbsp;

Detroit elections supervisory technician, Lakingna Smith shared her experience in a video, explaining, "We get in the van, go to the ballot box. We open it up. Once we see the absentee ballots, we take them out and put them inside of the envelope, which is a certified bag."

"There's a single, double and triple check. I check it, and then the next person checks it and makes sure that it is secure so that nobody messes with it. Then I tally up and bring them back to the election commission," she continued.

'So much room for error': Netizens react as US election worker collects ballots from dropbox

Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump head to North Carolina on Saturday to try to clinch support in the southeastern battleground state just three days before Tuesday's US presidential election.

It will be the fourth day in a row that Vice President Harris and former President Trump visit the same state on the same day, underlining the critical importance of the seven states likely to decide the race, which opinion polls show to be on a knife's edge.

More than 70 million Americans have already cast ballots, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida, below the record early-voting pace in 2020 during COVID-19, but still indicating a high level of voter enthusiasm.

Saturday also marks the last day of early voting in North Carolina, where over 3.8 million votes have been cast, while the state's western reaches are still recovering from Hurricane Helene's deadly flooding.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-hints-at-key-roles-for-elon-musk-rfk-jr-if-he-wins-claims-only-cheating-would-cause-election-loss-772540">Also read:&nbsp;Trump hints at key roles for Elon Musk, RFK Jr. if he wins; claims only ‘cheating’ would cause election loss</a>

Harris plans appearances with rock star Jon Bon Jovi in Charlotte, the biggest city in North Carolina, which is tied with Georgia for the second-biggest prize of the swing states. Each has 16 votes in the Electoral College, where 270 are needed to secure the presidency.

North Carolina backed Trump in 2020 by a narrow margin of less than 1.5 percentage points, and elected a Democratic governor on the same day, giving hope to both parties.

"It is my plan and intention to continue to invest in American manufacturing, the work being done by American workers, upholding and lifting up good union jobs," Harris said Saturday morning in Wisconsin, as she left for North Carolina. "That is the way we are going to win the competition with China for the 21st century."

Trump will hold a rally in Gastonia, west of Charlotte, at noon (1600 GMT) before returning to the state in the evening, where he is due to speak at the 22,000-seat First Horizon Coliseum arena in Greensboro.

"This election is a choice between whether we...have four more years of gross incompetence and failure, or whether we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country," Trump told a crowd in Michigan on Friday.

<h2>Policy differences</h2>

Harris and Trump have very different policies on major issues including support for Ukraine and NATO, abortion rights, immigration, taxes, democratic principles and tariffs, which reflect the schisms between the Democratic and Republican parties.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday that if Trump wins and Republicans control Congress, his party would "probably" repeal the CHIPS Act, passed under Joe Biden's administration, which gave over $50 billion in subsidies to companies for semiconductor chip manufacturing and research in the United States.

Democrats have seized on the remarks. "It is further evidence of everything I've actually been talking about for months now, about Trump's intention to implement project 2025," Harris said Saturday, referring to a conservative blueprint to remake US government and policies that was written with the help of many of Trump's closest advisers.

Johnson walked back his remarks later on Friday, saying the act would be streamlined to eliminate regulations.

Harris and Trump were both in North Carolina on Wednesday, Nevada on Thursday and Wisconsin on Friday - all battleground states - at one point holding events around 7 miles (11 km) from each other.

It indicates the enormous effort put on persuading a relatively small number of voters in a few states because the other states are seen as safely Democratic or Republican.

But Trump will also visit Salem, Virginia, on Saturday despite polls showing a clear lead there for Harris.

Harris will also be in the swing state of Georgia on Saturday, where film director Spike Lee and singer Victoria Monet are due to speak at a rally.

President Biden, a Democrat, won Georgia by just 0.3 percentage points in 2020, the first time his party had picked up the state since Bill Clinton in 1992.

Democrats will be heavily reliant on Black voters turning out and backing Harris if they want to recreate Biden's success in a state where Black people make up just over 12 per cent of the population.

Hispanics, who total nearly 19 per cent of Georgia's population, are also being fought over. Trump holds a narrow 1.6 percentage-point lead over Harris in the state, according to the polling average from FiveThirtyEight.

Heading into the final stretch, on Monday the Harris campaign plans to hold simultaneous interconnected organizing events across all seven battleground states to mobilize voters, according to a senior campaign official.

US presidential election 2024: Trump and Harris campaign in North Carolina just three days before Election Day

Hundreds marched in Bangladesh's capital Saturday to demand protections for Hindus and other minorities who say they have suffered violence and threats since the ouster of autocratic premier Sheikh Hasina.

Hasina's toppling in an August student-led uprising saw a spate of reprisals on Hindus, who were seen as disproportionate supporters of her regime.&nbsp;

The caretaker government that replaced her, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has acknowledged and condemned attacks on Hindus but said in many cases they were motivated by politics rather than religion.&nbsp;

Regular protests in the months since the claim that attacks are continuing and have demanded action from Yunus' administration, an "advisory council" tasked with implementing democratic reforms and staging fresh elections.

"I have witnessed the atrocities against them -- their temples, businesses, and homes."

Protest organisers have urged the interim government to introduce a law to protect minorities and mandate a minimum share of minority representation in government, among other demands.&nbsp;

Tensions have been inflamed by the filing of sedition charges this week against 19 people who participated in an earlier minority rights rally in the port city of Chittagong.&nbsp;

The group was accused of disrespecting the Bangladeshi national flag by hoisting a saffron flag -- the emblematic colour of the Hindu faith -- to fly above it.&nbsp;

"Framing our leaders with false charges, like sedition, has made us skeptical of the government's intentions," protest member Chiranjan Goswami told AFP.&nbsp;

Hindus are the largest minority faith in mostly Muslim Bangladesh, accounting for around eight per cent of the population.

Attacks have also been reported on Sufi shrines, with suspicion falling on Islamists seeking to curb alternative expressions of the Muslim faith.

Saturday's demonstration came a day after 10,000 people attended a similar rally in Chittagong.&nbsp;

Her government was accused of widespread human rights abuses, including the extrajudicial killing of thousands of her political opponents during her 15-year rule.

India summons Canadian diplomat over allegations against Amit Shah, calls it 'absurd and baseless'

Germany will shut all three Iranian consulates on its territory in reaction to the execution of a German-Iranian national but will allow Tehran's embassy to remain open, the foreign ministry said on Thursday.

"Further Germans are also being unfairly held. We are also deeply committed to them and continue to work tirelessly for their release," she said.
