US vote-by-mail begins as White House campaign turns uglyUS President Donald Trump took his campaign to key battleground state Pennsylvania as the race heats upWASHINGTON - The US election is officially open: North Carolina on Friday launched vote-by-mail operations for the November 3 contest between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, which is getting uglier by the hour. North Carolina was to begin mailing out more than 600,000 ballots, in response to a major spike in demand. About one in five Trump voters said a similar thing. On the way back to Washington from a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Trump erupted, saying: "I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes." Asked if he would share a stage with Trump if invited, Biden said yes: "He is still the president of the United States."
