Neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden has yet been declared the winner of the US Presidential election, with vote counting still underway in six states.
Five of those states could swing either way, with Alaska all but certain to go to President Trump.
Democrat Mr Biden currently has 253 electoral college votes to Mr Trump's 213, with the first to reach 270 set to enter the White House.
