Visa electron in the USA?

does anyone know if I will be able to use my UK based visa electron debit
card in the USA? It's purely Visa electron - no maestro/cirrus sign on it.

Visa's network is called "Plus"; the Maestro/Cirrus thing is Master
Card.

My ordinary Visa credit card doesn't have any network logo either; my
bank's ATM card has the Maestro & Cirrus logos on it.

Looking at the US Visa "ATM Locator" web site, all the local ATM
machines show that they accept "Visa Electron" cards. That's not
proof, but a good indication that your card will work for purchases
too.
