Here’s an update on the situation in each of them. Each state allocates a certain number of large electors or electoral votes. With those already scrutinized, Joe Biden currently has 238 voters and Donald Trump 213. It takes 270 to get to the White House.
Alaska’s big three voters have yet to be attributed to any candidate, but Democrats haven’t won there in decades. The uncertainty, however, dominates over six states.
Michigan
Here are 16 major elections at stake, which are key in the race for the White House after Democratic candidate Joe Biden won against Donald Trump in Wisconsin, one of the key states in a very close election, where the president did not was able to maintain its victory of four years ago, CNN screened this Wednesday The New York Times, citing the AP agency. This status gives Biden 10 Electoral College votes, increasing his lead to 248 over Trump’s 213.
In fact, the re-election campaign of US President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit in a Michigan court on Wednesday to demand that the count be stopped in that state, considering that it has not been given sufficient access to polling places. .
This announcement was made by Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, in a statement shortly after anticipating that his team will also request a recount in the key state of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin
This state contributes 10 large voters. 97% of the votes have already been counted in this other northern, mainly agricultural state, which Trump narrowly won four years ago. At the moment, Biden is in the lead, with about 49.5% over Trump’s 48.8%. The final result is scheduled for Wednesday, after a triple check. Faced with this situation, Trump will ask for a vote recount, said his campaign manager, Bill Stepien, citing “irregularities in several counties … that raise serious doubts about the validity of the results.”
Nevada
He has six big voters at stake. The vote reaches 86% of the vote in this western desert state that had elected Hillary Clinton in 2016. Biden leads the fight with 49.3% against 48.7% for Trump. Local electoral authorities said Wednesday morning that the counting of votes had been suspended and would not resume until Thursday. If he won the electoral votes of Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada (16 + 10 + 6), Biden would obtain the 32 that still remain to reach the ‘magic number’ of 270.

Georgia
This southeastern state that traditionally votes Republican has 16 major voters at stake. The count reaches 92% of the votes. Trump currently has a slight advantage over Biden, 50.5% against 48.3%, but the gap will narrow according to US media projections. The final result is expected on Wednesday.
North Carolina
Here are 15 big voters at stake. 95% of the votes have already been counted in this other southeastern state, traditionally Republican. The advantage at the moment is also for Trump (50.1%) over Biden (48.6%), but the votes by mail sent until Tuesday, Election Day, will be valid there until November 12.

Pennsylvania
The candidate who wins here gets 20 electoral votes. 79% of the popular votes have already been counted in this industrial state of the Rust Belt, in the northeast, where both candidates campaigned strongly.
Trump was comfortably in the lead on Wednesday morning (53.9% vs. Biden’s 44.8%), But according to the American media, the count of the many votes by mail should favor the Democratic candidate, a native of Pennsylvania. Local authorities said the final result should be known on Friday.
