reAccording to media reports, the Secret Service is sending additional personnel to the state of Delaware to protect US presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Biden will remain in the city of Wilmington for at least another day and possibly give a big speech on Friday, the Washington Post reported, citing two unidentified sources. Biden’s campaign team informed the authority of this.
According to this, dozens of Secret Service employees are already working at the Chase Center convention center, where Biden and his team have stayed. The additional officers are expected to tighten security there starting Friday. The number of employees assigned to Wilmington does not correspond to the protection a president-elect deserves.
The count continues
After winning important states, the Democrat has good prospects of winning the US presidential election. The counting of the last votes continued on Friday. While incumbent Donald Trump has already claimed victory, Biden appears to be only steps away from the White House. Trump has already sent his lawyers to several states with lawsuits against the count.
According to calculations by CNN, Biden is now in 253 the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidential election. Trump appears accordingly 214 Be right. Former Vice President Barack Obama would only have to choose one state to win.
The race is considered open in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia Y Nevada. In Pennsylvania and Georgia, Trump was initially clearly in the lead, but Biden caught up significantly as more mail ballots were counted. Democratic supporters were more inclined to send their votes by mail than Republicans amid the coronavirus pandemic. In Nevada, which brings in six electoral votes and could give Biden a precision landing, the 77-year-old held a narrow lead Thursday night. In North Carolina, Trump was ahead.
In view of the still-open result, all eyes are on these key states:
Nevada (6 voters)
Where Hillary Clinton won in 2016, Biden is currently just ahead of Trump at 48.5 percent at 49.4 percent. As of Thursday 6 pm (CET) there are provisional results from the state again. Reasons the rest of the counting stations are “preliminary” and postal ballots. In the first case, voters must present their identification card so that their vote can be counted; the deadline for this is Thursday, November 5. Vote-by-mail ballots will be counted if they arrive before November 10.
Arizona (11 voters)
Some US media, including Fox News and the Associated Press, announced Democrat Biden as the winner of the election in the southwestern state on Wednesday, while others have yet to make a decision for Arizona. CNN currently rates Biden with 50.1 percent of the vote, Trump has 48.5. Assuming Biden’s victory in Arizona, a state like Nevada with just six voters would be enough for the overall victory.
Georgia (16 voters)
After counting 99 percent of the votes, Trump in the southern state had an advantage over Biden of just 1,900 votes (49.4 to 49.4 percent). No result is expected before Friday morning (CET).
Pennsylvania (20 voters)
The state, which belongs to the northern industrial region of the US known as the Rust Belt, is particularly competitive. 94 percent of the ballots were counted on Friday morning. Trump has a 49.5 percent advantage over Biden at 49.2 percent. With the many votes absent, the Pennsylvania-born Biden should keep winning.
According to authorities, the final result can be expected by Friday, as mail-in votes are still counted up to three days after Election Day if they are postmarked November 3. The main electoral guardian, Kathy Boockvar, offered the possibility of having a result announced on Thursday night (local time).
North Carolina (15 voters)
95 percent of the votes in the conservative east coast state of the United States were counted early Thursday morning. Thus, Trump leads with 50.0 percent, Biden with 48.6 percent. However, mail-in ballots submitted no later than Election Day will be accepted through November 12.
Biden saw himself ahead of Trump in the presidential race. “Now, after a long night of counting, it is clear that we are winning enough states to get the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency,” he said in Wilmington, Delaware.
If Biden brings his leadership in Arizona and Nevada to the finish line, he would get 270 electoral votes, the minimum for the presidency. With Pennsylvania (20), Georgia (16) and North Carolina (15), the challenger can only get 321 electoral votes in the best case.
Since there were delays in the US Post, Pennsylvania Postal voting papers that arrive on Friday afternoon will remain valid. Trump and the Republicans will return to court. The United States Supreme Court had approved the regulations before the elections. However, three conservatives among the nine justices were open to picking up on the issue again after the election.
In North Carolina the Supreme Court allowed nine days for ballots to arrive before the election, but in Wisconsin it declined an extension beyond Election Day. The Supreme Court also weighs whether those decisions have been made by local parliaments, electoral authorities or judges.

In Wisconsin, Trump calls for a recount in the face of a close race.
In Arizona A large group of Trump supporters gathered in front of the election authority in Maricopa Thursday night. Several of them were visibly carrying weapons

During the day, Trump seated several Tweets in which he complained about the vote count. His track, which still existed Tuesday night, had “magically disappeared” in one state after another, he wrote. In beleaguered Pennsylvania, they “worked hard” to quickly “disappear” half a million votes, he wrote elsewhere. Twitter warned several posts about “possibly misleading” statements. Biden said: “We will not rest until all the votes have been counted.”
Trump had already raised his spirits against voting by mail during the election campaign and raised questions about its legality, although voting by mail is an established form of voting. He warned of massive forgeries without evidence. There was no evidence of significant electoral fraud. In Georgia, Trump went to court Wednesday because, according to one of his observers, 53 late-arriving ballots were illegally considered in the mail.
Trump (74) did significantly better overall in the election than expected according to polls. Three-year-old Biden missed the clear victory the Democrats had hoped for and had to admit defeat to the Republican president in Florida and Texas, among others. Before the elections, the statistics portal “FiveThirtyEight” had only calculated a probability of around ten percent that Trump would win.
