The United States is approaching the moment of truth in the midterm elections that will outline the political map of the country for the next two years. The first states to close the polls did so at 20 in Argentina.

The time difference causes the closing of the voting to differ in each region. The polls have already closed in Indiana and Kentucky, where an anti-abortion constitutional amendment is also at stake.
Republicans are favorites to wrest control of both houses of Congress from Democrats, according to polls.
Which is the last state to finish the elections in the United States?
Polls also closed in Georgia, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, Florida and some trailing districts in Indiana and Kentucky. The same thing happened in Ohio, North Carolina and West Virginia.
Around 10 p.m. in Argentina, the states of Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Texas closed.

At midnight in Argentina, the polls close in Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah. At 1 on Wednesday, California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington will do so. At 12 the election in Hawaii will conclude.
The last state to finish the electoral process will be Alaska, late in the morning in Argentina.
Results will not be known immediately
The White House warned that the counting of the legislative elections might take days, so it is possible that the results of all the races will not be known shortly following the polls close.
”We may not know who the election winners are for a few days. It takes time to count all the pallets in an orderly manner,” said the White House spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierre.
