The American presidential election could descend into electoral chaos 2day as unprecedented numbers of voters turn out to cast their ballot in a system that is largely untested.The U.S. has an electoral system that is not organised, designed or funded to cope with 'anywhere near a 100 per cent turnout', a director of a leading independent electoral reform group has said.
As an estimated 130million Americans head to the polls, Doug Chapin, director of The Pew Charitable Trust's Electionline.org, said voter turnout will 'dwarf' all other problems in this year's presidential election.
And with the nation"s voting system largely untested for what is expected to be an unprecedented turnout, the potential for chaos is high.
