Voting in the US elections is nearing completion. It is also being counted in several states in the eastern United States.

Meanwhile, outcome predictions have started pouring in from various states. Voting has ended in six states. These are Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia. The total number of electoral college votes in these states is 80.

Joe Biden appears to have won Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. Biden is also going to win in Vermont. There are three electoral college votes.

Donald Trump is winning in Oklahoma. He is expected to win in West Virginia and Tennessee. Outside of that, there are hints of Trump’s victory in Kentucky. There are eight electoral college votes in this state. In this Republican-dominated state, no other Democratic nominee has won in decades except Jeremy Carter and Bill Clinton.

Analysts are particularly interested in the results in the state of Georgia. Because it is a ‘battlefield state’, where a fierce battle is expected between incumbent Republican President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden.

Georgia has 18 electoral votes. Voting ends first in parts of Indiana and Kentucky. In those parts of the state of Kentucky, long lines of voters were also seen in the centers at night. And Indiana is the home state of Vice President Mike Pence. Both are traditionally Republican states, and in both cases Trump is expected to win. BBC
