Americans elect a president in Unprecedented electoral activity. More than 100 million voters voted in the preliminary vote alone. Interest in these elections, unanimously identified by observers as historical, is dictated by the contrast in the concepts of the two candidates for the future of the United States and the world.
The country faces two radically different paths in national and international politics. According to all opinion polls, Democratic candidate Joe Biden has a significant advantage in the national vote, but this does not guarantee him victory, since the president of the United States is not elected directly, but by voters chosen by individual states over the basis of local votes.
The winner will most likely not be announced until the end of election night if the results in the so-called key states are too close. If the results do not show a clear winner, the name of the next president can be known in days or weeks: depending on when the millions of ballots will be counted; in some states, the vote-by-mail count is yet to come. In Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the counting of votes cast by mail will not begin until Tuesday.
The most important key states for the output of the vote are Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan.
The winner would be known on election night only if one of the candidates wins.
In addition to the presidency, American voters are voting today in Congress and the Senate: one third of the Senate seats will be distributed.
The BBC summarizes the possible outcome of the presidential battle in four possible scenarios:
The first scenario: a slight victory for Biden. The simplest option: in harmony with the image of opinion polls. No controversial situations and no need for a new vote count.
Second scenario: a landslide victory for Biden. The Democratic candidate wins with a humiliating advantage for his opponent. That would put the current vote next to the landslide victories of Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter in 1980 and George W. Bush Sr. over Michael Dukakis in 1988.
Third scenario: a shocking victory for Trump, kTake action in 2016. The electoral results differ from the public opinion polls and for the second consecutive time the favorite in the electoral battle is defeated. For that to happen, Trump must win in Florida and Pennsylvania.
Fourth scenario (unlikely) – the two candidates get the same number of representatives (electors) in the electoral college – 269. If there is a deadlock in the Electoral College, the election is decided by the newly elected House of Representatives.
