The Democratic candidate for the White House, Joe biden, managed to overcome his republican rival, Donald trump, in the state of Georgia, a key battlefield that the president cannot afford to lose if he wants to be reelected for a second term.
According to the latest count reported by the Associated Press, Joe Biden reached 2,449,371 votes, while Trump lagged slightly behind, with 2,448,454 votes. That is, with 917 ballots of difference.
The figures were advancing with the passing of the hours, as the results of the votes cast in absentia, in advance and by mail, are revealed, which have been prioritized by Democrats more than by Republicans, especially after the calls of their representatives to avoid crowds at polling stations on Election Day.
In addition, as reported by the New York Times, the votes that gave Biden the advantage came from Clayton County, a Democratic stronghold in a state whose highest authorities are currently Republican.
Although the projections are still early to consider Biden the definitive winner, the former vice president of Barack Obama must maintain this advantage in order to consolidate the 270 electoral votes he needs to win the presidential elections of the United States.
So far, Biden has accumulated 264 electoral votes. If you hold Georgia, it would mean 16 more, being able to raise its count to 280.
Less than 1% of the vote remains to be counted, in a state that had not determined a presidential election since Bill Clinton’s victory in 1992, according to ABC News.
To the map, until now
According to projections by The Associated Press, the states that are practically resolved are divided as follows:
NOTE: The candidate who wishes to win the victory must obtain at least 270 points from the Electoral College.
