Kamala Harris appears to have made an excruciating election day gaffe by appearing to fake a phone call with a voter.
In fresh footage from the very last stages of the campaign trail, the Presidential hopeful posed for the cameras on a last-minute drop-in to a Democratic Party phone bank.
And Harris joined staffers in reaching out to the American public - or, at least, she appeared to.
In one video clip from her visit, the incumbent Vice President can be heard asking one caller: "Have you voted already?"

As the Democratic crowd around her cheers, Harris can be seen grinning and holding the phone aloft.
