If you’re starting your day in the U.S., here’s the latest from election night:
— No winner has been named in the U.S. presidential race.
— The election remains tight, with both President Trump and Joe Biden several dozen electoral votes shy of winning. nyti.ms/32b7ZkN

As expected, votes are still being counted. States never finish counting ballots on election night.

Trump made baseless claims this morning about where the race stands, saying he wanted to end ballot counting early. nyti.ms/3oViLVT

Both Trump and Biden still have paths to winning.

For Biden, one route goes through Arizona and Georgia.

For Trump, winning may depend on holding onto Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia, three states he won in 2016. nyti.ms/3mSDvvL

Election polls in the U.S. will start closing Tuesday at 6 p.m. Eastern and will continue until 1 a.m.

Here’s a complete list of closing times and a detailed analysis of what to look for as polls close in every state. nyti.ms/3jXHc1g

The keywords for this election are patience and caution.

With so many people voting by mail, don’t expect states to be called quickly.

And beware of partial results from places like Pennsylvania and Florida, which may be misleading.

6 p.m. Eastern

President Trump is expected to win both Indiana and Kentucky, and Senator Mitch McConnell is expected to win re-election in Kentucky. If his challenger, Amy McGrath, makes it competitive, it could be a very bad night for Republicans.

Voted but didn't get a sticker? We've got you covered.
nyti.ms/34TD2mN

For many, "I Voted" stickers are a central, tangible representation of civic engagement, one that they can wear in selfies or on the street to galvanize others to vote. nyti.ms/32aH8VR

With more people voting by mail than ever before because of the pandemic, filling out ballots from beds and kitchen tables, many have not received a civic duty souvenir. nyti.ms/32aH8VR

Rapid coronavirus tests that deliver results in minutes are becoming more widely available in the U.S.

But officials warn that the inconsistent public reporting of them is leading to the undercounting of cases and blurring the virus’s spread. nyti.ms/37ZXDrw

Antigen tests are faster than polymerase chain reaction (P.C.R.) tests, but are less able to detect low levels of the virus.

Antigen tests can help limit the spread of the virus, but as more of them become available, the undercounting could send the wrong message.

Washington, D.C., and seven states don’t publicly share case counts for those with antigen positive tests, including California, New Jersey and Texas.

Another six keep them separate from their total counts, and most of these report them less frequently. nyti.ms/3oPQVdF

American presidential elections always seize international attention, but this year is exceptional: President Trump has dominated news cycles and frayed nerves in almost every corner of the earth like few leaders in history. nyti.ms/3jJErAN

No country has watched the American election unfold with greater anger and grievance than China. State media and ordinary Chinese citizens online have portrayed the presidential campaign as an embarrassing battle between two geriatrics. nyti.ms/3jJErAN

In Russia, which the CIA accuses of mounting a clandestine effort to re-elect Trump, pro-Kremlin news organizations have played up the possibility of violence and chaos. nyti.ms/3jJErAN
