A group of protesters is stationed on Wednesday (4) near the White House in Washington, with plaques asking for the vote count not to be interrupted. Voters are calling for ballots to be counted to the end, contrary to what Donald Trump’s team has been asking for. Republicans question the legality of the election and advocate suspending the vote in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan, as well as a full recount in Wisconsin.
Joe Biden leads the race with 264 delegates, against Trump’s 214 (Associated Press data as of 10:30 p.m. Wednesday). To get to 270 and win the election, therefore, there are 6 delegates for the Democrat.
With a positive outlook for Biden, the Republican team and the current president of the United States began to question the votes that were sent by mail: projections and polls indicate that the majority of the ballots sent will be Democrats. The states of Nevada and Pennsylvania can guarantee the last delegates to Biden.

Earlier Wednesday night, Donald Trump supporters attempted to break into the ballot box in Detroit, Michigan. The Trump campaign accused election authorities of prohibiting match inspectors, who track the count, from getting closer than 7.6 meters.
“We are suing to temporarily suspend the count until there is meaningful transparency and Republicans can ensure that all counts are done in accordance with the law,” said deputy campaign manager Justin Clark in a statement.

To define who will occupy the White House during the next four years, the results of five states are lacking, of which three must be decisive: Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada.
The estimate of when the state of Nevada should finish counting votes changed Wednesday. After suggesting that the results could come out today, Nevada officials backtracked and resumed their original plan to update the figures before 12 noon (2 pm ET) on Thursday (4), according to reporters from “The New York Times “.
US Elections: This Wednesday’s Summary (4)
With only 6 delegates, Nevada has become a potentially decisive state because it has exactly the number of delegates that Democratic candidate Joe Biden needs to confirm victory. Also, Pennsylvania still has a significant number of votes to count.
