Trump’s confusion descended on his fans, who fell prey to the blatant contradiction, chanting in front of the vote-counting station in Phoenix: “Count the votes!”, To demand the opposite of that in Michigan, where supporters of the candidate presidential chanted: “Stop the polls!” They denounce “fraud” in card counting.
The Republican president announced his appeal to the Supreme Court to reject the results, while his lawyers petitioned the local courts, brandishing a request for a recount in Wisconsin, where the difference is small between the two candidates.
Democrats considered that the complaints lacked legal basis, taking into account that the solution of the matter is in the hands of the judges, if they agree to a recount, the official announcement of the results may take a few weeks.
Compared to Biden, Trump needs to double down to win the presidency. The last road to the White House will not be paved without winning Pennsylvania, where the census may end today, while his opponent is enough to win one or two of the remaining major states to become the 46th American president, as Biden counted with the support of 253 high-level voters. After his victory in Michigan and Wisconsin, he only needs 17 votes from major voters to reach the 270 necessary votes he could get in Nevada (6), Georgia (16) or even Pennsylvania (20).
The gap between Trump and Biden narrowed in Georgia with the counting of thousands of ballots sent by Biden, and the same happened in Pennsylvania, where Trump had a relatively comfortable margin for the majority of his voters to cast the ballot in person. so their votes were counted first. Biden.
Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stephen, has publicly announced that he is striving to “take legal action to suspend vote counting pending greater transparency.” People close to Trump launched a campaign on social media to convince his base of the existence of massive fraud, especially in states like Pennsylvania ruled by Democrats, speaking of the arrival of “surprise” ballots to the counting centers.
And Trump raises doubts about the results, fearing that the final result will be delayed pending a Supreme Court decision defining the method of counting the votes, as happened in the 2000 elections. Trump’s complaints point to millions. of voters to cast their votes by mail due to the Covid-19 epidemic, as the rules on counting change. Among the approved amendments is the extension of the deadlines for receiving ballots, due to the tremendous pressure on the postal service, which required more time for scrutiny. Republicans claim that some of those amendments were passed or implemented in a contradictory or partial way in favor of Democrats.
If Republicans are successful in their effort, they will be able to revoke the tens of thousands of cards that arrived after November 3, noting that the Pennsylvania court ruled that the time limit was legally extended, while the US Supreme Court was He refused to intervene in the matter.
The next few days will reveal whether we will witness a scenario similar to that of the year 2000, in which one state, Florida, won the presidential elections between Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore. The difference was then only 537 votes in favor of Bush, in addition to registering problems with the ballots, so the Gore campaign asked for a new recount of votes for the entire state. The Bush campaign appealed to the Supreme Court, which ruled not to count, awarding victory in Florida and the election to Bush.
Joe Biden is still confident of his guaranteed victory, and yesterday he looked again at the American people, asking them to calm down and let democracy take its course. “What is happening is the best evidence that our democracy is working,” said the candidate with a firm tone, asking again “that all votes be counted” because it is a reflection of the will of the people, which deserves all respect.
