In the end, the United States presidential election was the subject of

Kevin Lamarque-REUTERS was also a misunderstanding of the Byden field in the background of Trump’s votes nearing the end.

In the 2020 presidential election, it will take a considerable amount of time to finalize the election results. It was said beforehand that confusion would be unavoidable if the difference was small, but at the time of this article (noon on the 5th of Japan), the seven states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia they were close. As a result, the general presidential election is also close.

Each outlet is making a series of decisions in each state, and the number of Byden candidates is said to have reached 264 at this time. If he wins against Nevada (6 elected), which will almost open the polls on Thursday 5 local time, he will reach 270 elected and will be a good candidate for Byden.

However, as stated earlier on the 4th, if President Trump fights thoroughly, including a legal battle, the completion of the election results will be delayed. Wisconsin has already requested a recount and Michigan has filed a lawsuit. The med will be on December 14 and by this date each state elector must vote. For example, in the case of the 2000 “Bush vs. Gore” battle in Florida being recounted, the confusion continued until shortly before this date.

The development of the legal battle is so complicated that it is difficult to predict the specific development at this time. Anyway, this election fell far short of the expectations of many media and experts, including polls. It was the same in 2016, but it was more than that.

Some argue that many Trump supporters were “shy homeless,” that is, they hid Trump’s support from both public opinion and socially. It is also said that they could spread the image that “the mainstream media is fake news” by disrupting the survey, thus systematically giving false responses to the survey. ..

Fear of economic collapse due to the crown

On the other hand, President Trump’s momentum just before vote day on the 3rd, especially flying briskly around the fierce state of battle, continued to deliver themes with radical speech as usual, a kind of support that expanded energy to the time. There’s also.

But what was actually happening seems to have been a bit simpler.

In other words, the “fear of the crown” became a record vote rate and largely added to Trump’s vote.

However, fear does not mean that you are afraid of infection. Instead, based on the situation that “the spread of infection has become serious again”, “I will lose my job due to closure”, “My store will be forced to close”, “The local economy will deteriorate”. It is a “fear” as “it ends”.

A significant number of Trump votes came from groups previously thought to be Democratic votes, such as Florida’s Hispanic votes, Georgia’s black votes, Ohio and Michigan’s blue votes, and more than 2016 in some districts. I think this is the reason for the push. I went to the polling place to get into Trump, thinking of the immediate crown and economy rather than race issues.

In this sense, the Byden field also made a mistake. The message “wear a mask to protect yourself and the lives of those around you” is common on the eastern and western coasts of Europe, Asia, and the United States, but is perceived differently in the western and southern United States. . I think it was.
