Which states are defined and which are yet to be defined in the US elections | 2020 U.S. elections

The decisive states have not yet been Michigan, Wisconsin and mainly, Pennsylvania. In these three states, won by Trump in 2016, the Republican appears at the top of the poll so far.

However, a series of mailed votes remain to be counted, and ballots sent in advance are expected to favor Biden. This count can take days to complete. The question is whether this will be enough for the Democrat to turn the tables in this region.

In a speech at the White House, Trump said it was very difficult for Biden to turn around in these states and said he would go to the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority, to ask that the vote count stop after Wednesday. In another tone, Biden asked that all votes be taken into account until the end of the count.

See below what is already consolidated in this US presidential election

• Texas – Biden managed to slightly reduce the disadvantage of Democrats in this traditional Republican stronghold with 38 votes In the game. The improvement in Trump’s performance in the border region and the maintenance of the conservative electorate in the interior prevented a change of course led by the big cities.

See how the situation is in the states where the vote count remains to be completed

Pennsylvania is worth 20 votes in the Electoral College and surprised in 2016 by giving Trump the victory after decades of Democratic rule. This year, the state became a battleground between the two candidates. primarily seeking the suburban electorate.

With about 64% of the votes counted, according to the Associated Press, Trump had a relatively wide lead: 56.68% to Biden’s 42.14%. However, despite the margin, Biden’s campaign still awaits change.

The reason is vote count mailed Tuesday. These ballots, according to local rules, can be counted until Friday, as determined by the Supreme Court. This could favor Biden, where Democrats are the majority among those who vote by mail. The question is whether this will be enough to take a margin of 14 percentage points..

Both Trump and Biden ran a fierce campaign in Pennsylvania. Both traveled, more than once, to the state, hoping that this electorate will be the “faithful in the balance” in the fight for the 270 delegates.

In the campaign, Biden sought to reverse the discontent of industrial workers with the Democrats, an electorate essential for Trump to win there in 2016. The strategy of the opposition campaign is capture working class frustration with the current government.

To avoid losing in the state where he achieved a historic victory four years ago, Trump has argued that he will defend fracking. It is a technique for extracting natural gas from the subsoil that is very common in the state and receives criticism from environmentalists. The Republican says that Biden will end this source of income; in fact, the Democratic candidate said he would ban the practice in remarks at the start of the campaign.

Defeated by Trump in 2016, Wisconsin – Worth 10 votes in the Electoral College – got off to a very favorable start for the Republican. With 88% of the votes counted, the current president had an advantage of almost 4 percentage points.

However, as in Pennsylvania, state election officials said that the count would not end on post-election night. And there are still mail-in votes to be counted later, which, again, tends to favor Biden. Once again, it remains to be seen if it will be enough to surpass the Republican.

In Wisconsin, in addition to the issues that are usually at stake economy and employment, voters also took into account debates about public safety and racism: The city of Kenosha, a suburb in the south of the state, was the scene of clashes in protests after the police operation that shot Jacob Blake in August.

In a situation similar to Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Michigan, with 16 votes At stake, he pointed to Trump’s lead by 8 percentage points with 68% of the votes counted. Again, the state is still awaiting the results of the mailed votes, which would give Democrats more opportunities. It may take until the end of the week for a result to be proclaimed.

Polls pointed to a good lead for Biden, but Trump sought to regain leadership by salvaging the votes of voters in the suburbs who saw a surge in job numbers before the pandemic. The challenge for the Republican, therefore, was to convince the electorate that the results of the economy would reappear in a positive way after the coronavirus crisis.

Trump’s head start early in the count turned into a tight feud, especially with the pending vote counting in the major cities region such as Atlanta, mostly Democrats. However, the president even said this morning that he won in the state and that the opponents “could not reach him.”

If he changes, Biden will reverse a series of Republican victories in Georgia that began in 1996. The last victory of a Democrat had been four years earlier, with Bill Clinton.

Georgia ok 16 votes in the Electoral College. This year, Republicans tried to keep the lead among more conservative voters in the interior, while Democrats sought out the cosmopolitan electorate of cities, suburban workers and the elderly from the coast.

Another state that does not yet have a projected winner is North Carolina, with 15 votes In the game. Trump appears with just over a percentage point advantage with 94% of the polls counted and even declared himself the winner during a speech at the White House. However, the major news agencies have yet to attribute a result.

This state with 6 votes At stake in the Electoral College will also be waiting for the vote of the votes sent by mail. With 67% of the count completed, Biden was ahead by just over two percentage points.

Nevada helped elect all presidents between 1980 and 2012 – from Republican Ronald Reagan to Democrat Barack Obama. In 2016, reversing a trend, state voters preferred Hillary Clinton by a small margin. the 6 votes in the Electoral College were not enough, however, to give victory to the Democrat four years ago.
