The outgoing US president, Donald Trump, finally scored the three votes in the Electoral College granted by the state of Alaska yesterday, where the Republicans also won their battle for the Senate and were one step away from obtaining a majority in that Chamber.
Trump’s victory in Alaska does not change the landscape in the Electoral College, which has already made Democratic candidate Joe Biden president-elect due to his considerable advantage in key states.
After more than a week of vote counting in that remote northwestern US state, and with 75% polled, NBC, ABC and CNN predicted on Wednesday that Trump will prevail.

That brings to 217 the number of delegates that Trump has insured in the Electoral College, far from the minimum of 270 needed to win the election, while Biden has already overcome that barrier and accumulates 290. North Carolina still remains to be decided, Georgia and, according to some media, also Arizona, although others have already projected that Biden will take that state.
The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in several major states to challenge the outcome of the November 3 election, and has alleged without proof that fraud has occurred.
They will not take effect
However, those lawsuits are highly unlikely to work, because they would need to prove fraud in not just one, but multiple states, to flip the results and cover the stretch to the 270 delegates that Trump would need to be reelected.
Meanwhile, the state of Georgia announced that there will be a manual vote count due to the tightness of the results, which may cause it to be unknown who won the presidential elections there until the end of November.
