It is still counted in some US states, regardless of US President Trump’s announcement to take legal action against the election. The OSCE also reprimands him for this. The election observers see “no violations of the rules.”
The United States is awaiting the outcome of the elections. But that won’t happen until all the votes have been counted, probably not today. And the president, who fears his re-election, will probably not accept this result either. Donald Trump talks about “betraying the nation” in the elections and “making the Republican votes disappear.” For Wisconsin, the Trump camp wants to get a vote recount, in Pennsylvania and Michigan he went to court to stop the ballot counting.
No irregularities were found
The democratic camp is outraged and election observers have also harshly criticized Trump’s actions. FDP politician Michael Georg Link traveled to the United States for the Election Observation Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). at RBB He said the organization’s election observers had not found any irregularities either on Election Day or before the vote-by-mail. “We have investigated. We have not found any violation of the rules: neither by our long-term observers nor by short-term observers.”
The numerous national observers from civil society organizations, thousands of whom travel the United States, have also been unable to determine this. “There was no alteration or systemic manipulation.”
At the same time, the FDP politician described Trump’s demand to stop the vote count as a breaking of a taboo. Counting is the sole responsibility of the individual states. Interfering is an extremely troublesome and unjustifiable process.
Trump supporters protests
Even before the polls, there was fear that Trump would not acknowledge defeat. There were also fears of discomfort. In Michigan and Arizona, Trump supporters, some armed, according to CNN, moved in front of buildings that were being counted. The police secured the tickets. In the west coast metropolis of Portland, Trump’s opponents moved in front of a courthouse. The police confiscated several weapons and there were several arrests.
Key State of Pennsylvania
The key state of Pennsylvania continues to count. Trump is ahead there. However, according to Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, “millions of votes by mail” have yet to be counted. Postal voters traditionally vote democratically, so the outcome could turn in favor of Biden. Wolf apparently reacted calmly to Trump’s attempts to stop the count. The ballot papers will be “counted accurately and counted in their entirety,” he said.
To win the United States presidential election, a candidate must win at least 270 of the total of 538 electoral candidates assigned at the state level. Biden has 253 electoral votes, Trump 214.
