Tight race attracts ‘record US turnout’
Bush and Kerry supporters cross paths, as the campaign for the White House shows no signs of letting up on election day. Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (above left) urges supporters in La Crosse, Wisconsin, his last campaign event, to “get the job done.” US President George W. Bush (above right, a few hours before voting with First Lady Laura Bush) caps off the stomp with, “I’ve given it my all.” (AP photos)

Officials predicted record turnout, while poll workers braced for adjustments to new voting machines and new rules.
