In fact, we still don’t know. Donald Trump or Joe Biden: enough votes to say that someone is definitely the winner.
In the midst of the epidemic, it may take a few days to count the number of early votes cast by mail in this election.
And if one of the candidates goes to court challenging the result, it may take a few weeks to get the final result.
Any ideas?
The vote that voters cast throughout the day on Tuesday is called the popular vote. However, the direct result is not determined by that popular vote.
With that vote, a certain number of electors were elected in each state. And whoever gets the support of more than half of the electorate across the country will be the president of the United States. Americans call it the “electoral college” system.
There are a total of 51 polling stations in 50 states and the capital, Washington DC (District of Columbia). There will be a total of 538 voters in these universities. That means a candidate must get at least 270 votes from the electoral college to become president.
There are a few more complications to this rule. The candidate who gets the most popular votes in a state also gets all the electoral votes in that state. This rule is called “Winners take all.” This rule applies to all states except Nebraska and Maine. Electoral divisions are proportional to the number of votes cast in Nebraska and Maine.
In this election, the majority of the people have voted in 120 years. But the final result, as always, depends on the results of certain states, where the electoral vote is higher. Americans call these rocking states “battlefield states.”
So, of the situation that has remained so far, three things can be said.
1. In the states where Trump and Biden were expected to win, there are indications that they will win without any change.
2. In a few “battlefield” states where the two candidates fight fiercely, there is little difference between the two.
3. In some of these states, the mail ballot counting has not started again.
So how to understand the result?
Voters in the state of Ohio and Florida ‘battlefield’ will favor Trump, it has been confirmed. All eyes are now on a few states, where the count is still going on.
Depending on the results of those states, there may be different results for the two candidates.
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan: Everyone’s attention is now on these three states. With the majority of votes counted from Wisconsin, Biden is slightly ahead. Trump is ahead by a very small margin in Michigan. However, in some Democratic-dominated areas, such as Detroit, not all votes have been counted. And Pennsylvania, a major state with 20 electoral votes, is far ahead of Trump. But there are still a large number of postal ballots waiting to be counted. All counts may have to wait until Friday.
Arizona: Democrats have never won the state since 1996. But this time Joe Biden is still ahead.
Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina: Somewhere in these states there is fierce competition, somewhere the vote count is far behind.
In a word, what did you represent?
Donald Trump has done better than expected. And in those ‘battlefield’ states where votes have been counted before, Joe Biden hasn’t done well enough. That is, everyone has to wait with uncertainty.
What do the candidates say?
“We are on our way to victory,” Biden told his fans. But he also said he was patient.
On the other hand, although the vote count has not ended, Donald Trump said: “In fact, we have won.” He also filed complaints of fraud, although he has no proof.
What will happen now?
You can vote in court: Trump has said before that he will go to court if the situation is like this. In an address to the nation on election night, he also said that he would go to the Supreme Court to stop the count. Biden’s campaign says his lawyers are ready for a legal battle.
What could be political instability? Situation There is no doubt that this is uncertain. There were also protests in several cities on election night. However, the Americans do not believe that this uncertainty leads to significant political instability at this time.
