@SmartRental_com awful experience staying at your gran via capital property. Music from 'private event' at bar so loud neither we nor our baby can sleep. No management to speak to on site or by phone. No other rooms we can be moved to. This place is a joke

En région parisienne, environ 250 #migrants, pour la plupart demandeurs d'asile et réfugiés, vivent dans les locaux abandonnés d'une société de construction transformés en squat. Il y règne un froid glacial. Le bien le plus demandé par les occupants : des couvertures.

Flying home from an almost empty O'Hare Airport. It's been a long, exhausting but also fascinating road trip through the heart of America over the last 10 days, covering more than 2,200km for the #Elections2020 Thanks to everyone who followed. With @taharhani and @RHoueix

Our final report from the US, where Americans woke this morning under a cloud of uncertainty with the outcome of the #Elections2020 still unclear.

Chicago s'est réveillé au matin du 4 novembre dans un climat d'incertitudes. Les habitants de la ville ont la mine fatiguée de ceux qui ont veillé tard en espérant connaître le nom de leur président pour les quatre prochaines années #F24 https://t.co/wjMkD6KHCM

Chicago looking like a ghost town tonight with Covid 19 seeing many stay indoors. No sign of feared election violence so far. #Elections2020

After 21 days working 11 hour shifts, poll worker Zachary Kinnaird is exhausted but, he says, it has been a rewarding experience. #ElectionDay #USPresidentialElections2020

Fears of post-election violence mean police are out in force in Chicago tonight, including this slightly quaint bike patrol. #Elections2020

Chicago voter Nick: “important to make your voice heard...with the state of the country right now.”

Some stores here in Chicago making some last minute preparations amid fears of election unrest tonight. #ElectionNight #USPresidentialElection2020

Across the country, thousands of volunteers are out making sure no one is denied their right to vote, including here in Chicago. #USPresidentialElection

Though things are quiet now, poll workers are reporting high turnout here in Chicago. “People have a lot invested in it.” #ElectionDay2020 #USPresidentialElections2020

[Sam Ball @samwball]

Very quiet at this polling station in downtown Chicago. We visited yesterday and things were much busier with early voters queuing up outside the door. #USPresidentialElection2020 #ElectionDay

"If Biden doesn't win, what have we got to look forward to? Four more years of the same?" Chicago voter Dan. #Elections2020 #ElectionDay
