Biden closes in on victory, Trump sues

Blazing Stars and Stripes … Chaotic US Presidential Elections Clash Everywhere On the 4th (local time) in Portland, Oregon, in the western United States, supposedly anti-Trump protesters are lighting the stars and stripes flags. They criticized President Trump for filing a lawsuit to stop counting ballots, shouting “All ballots must be counted.” The police arrested at least 11 people because some protesters participated in radical actions, such as breaking shop windows or throwing Molotov cocktails.

US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden won in Wisconsin and Michigan, the top contenders for the Northern Rust Belt on the 4th (local time). With this, candidate Biden secured 264 of a total of 538 voters, approaching the majority (270) necessary for the election by six. President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit demanding that four states stop counting and counting again.

Candidate Biden beat President Trump (48.8%) by 0.6 percentage point in Wisconsin with 49.4% of the vote, and Michigan also won 50.4% to 48%. The number of contests that are in the counting process has been reduced to four: Pennsylvania (20 voters), Georgia (16), North Carolina (15) and Nevada (6). If Biden wins just one of these, he will add six or more voters and secure the majority. Currently, Nevada leads Biden and President Trump in the remaining three states.

Biden said in a speech at the Wilmington Chase Center, Delaware, shortly after the victory was confirmed in Wisconsin, Michigan, “It is now clear that we are winning in the states to reach 270 voters.” “I did not support myself, but I came here to inform that we will be the winners when the count ends.” “(If elected) I will rule as president of the United States, and there will be no ‘blue state’ or ‘red state’, only America.” Biden Camp opened the home page for the Presidential Procurement Commission.

Trump Camp immediately filed lawsuits in three locations – Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia, claiming it stopped counting. Wisconsin filed a recount lawsuit under a state election law so that a reconsideration could be requested if the difference was less than 1 percentage point. In a tweet, President Trump wrote: “In Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina, which did not allow observers in court, they are (actually) largely dominant.” According to CNN, Trump Camp is also preparing lawsuits in Arizona and Nevada. “President Trump is showing the people through these measures that he will do everything possible to protect the integrity of the election in the national interest,” said Justin Clark, head of the Election Countermeasures Headquarters at Trump Camp. If demand drags on, concerns arise that social division and confusion will increase and problems such as leadership gaps will emerge.
