Let’s wait again: when will the US states confirm the results of the presidential elections?

The Trump campaign has faced lawsuits in key states where Biden’s dominance, Republicans believe, could still be challenged, though there are states where Trapoka and the current president’s dominance.

According to many analysts, the current administration is seeking to prevent those states from officially approving the election results, which show that Biden has obtained enough votes and defeated Trump.

Victory requires at least 270 out of 538 voters. If Biden’s victories in Arizona and Georgia are confirmed, the Democrat will have 306 votes, the same number as Trump, who defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Also, while not important in the US electoral system, based on votes cast by all Americans across the country, Biden is likely to end up with as many as 8 million. vote more than D. Trump.

However, even now, the winner of the presidential election has not been officially confirmed.

Yes, the Associated Press and other media outlets that traditionally attributed victories in some US states to a candidate last Saturday, including pro-Republican Fox News, announced Biden’s victory after analyzing Trump’s. you will no longer be able to catch up.

But Trump, unlike the vast majority of candidates who previously lost elections under such projections, does not acknowledge defeat and did not ask Biden to acknowledge the latter’s victory.

And that means waiting, just what? As the Wall Street Journal reminds states, states must formally approve election results. The processes are different, but approval is usually completed a few weeks after the election, and then a delegation from each state meets at the College of Electors in mid-December and casts their vote.

Status validation – what does it mean?

Let us remind you once again that the voting results, which are announced on Election Night and the following morning, are considered unofficial. Not only during these, but also through so many previous elections, officials need more time to count all the votes.

Even now, more than a week after Election Day on Nov. 3, all votes are counted not just in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina, where the AP has yet to announce a winner, but in many other states.

New York lacks 16 percent. 5 percent in California, 9 percent in Maine, 10 percent in Illinois and 25 percent in Alaska, where people are scarce and scattered.

To verify and “certify” the votes, election officials in each state further verify the total number of votes cast and determine whether proper procedures for counting and distributing ballots have been followed.

It also checks, for example, how many voters turned out to the polling stations and what number of votes was subsequently reported by the same constituency. If there are discrepancies, the number of votes declared invalid is calculated and if they are justified.

Each state has its own rules and deadlines by which the necessary numbers must be approved, and then officials can formally approve the election results.

It is checked how many voters went to the polling stations and what number of votes the same polling stations subsequently reported.

Typically, these officials are the state’s chief election official, governor, or council of accountants.

How long does the approval process take?

As mentioned, each state has a legal deadline to validate the results and the process generally takes several weeks. It begins with the districts validating their results to central state authorities.

Suppose that in Pennsylvania, counties have to confirm results by November 23. The Michigan Office of the Secretary of State has announced that the approval process should be completed three weeks after Election Day, and the Wisconsin State Elections Commission awaits the approved results of the electoral districts before November 17.

Under United States federal law, state Electoral College delegates meet and vote on Monday, which follows the second Wednesday in December; this year it will be December 14th.

Why is approval important?

Electoral system officials in individual states strive to work diligently and count votes carefully, as they seek to verify that no technical or human errors have actually been made or that there really was no fraud.

Experts have argued for many years that the US electoral system, although different from state to state, is truly credible because results are verified in several stages, with additional checks to detect possible discrepancies.

There have been cases where the votes have had to be recalculated, but in many cases the final results differed by only a few hundred votes and did not change the result of the vote, at least in statewide elections.

It is true that additional checks and recalculations can be important in local elections when choosing, for example, a small sheriff or county attorney.

The aggressive rhetoric is helping Trump retain an army of fanatical supporters and possibly mobilize voters in Georgia, where additional elections to two Senate vacancies will take place in January.

Also, when the difference between the votes cast is extremely small, but this year, even in Wisconsin, J. Biden is ahead of D. Trump by 20 thousand. votes, and such dominance cannot, in principle, be reversed.

Additionally, The New York Times contacted election officials in all 50 US states on Monday and Tuesday and did not hear alarming reports of widespread fraud that Trump and his allies have complained about.

According to some analysts, Republicans are probably well aware that their efforts will not pay off and are only looking to weaken Biden’s position before he takes office in January next year.

Additionally, that rhetoric is helping Trump retain an army of fanatical supporters and possibly mobilize voters in Georgia, where elections in addition to the two Senate vacancies will be held in January. The outcome of these votes will be determined by who controls the upper house of Congress and, at the same time, will delineate the limits of Biden’s room for maneuver.

What do the Trump campaign and the Republican organizations demand in their demands?

The right-wingers, unhappy with the defeat, questioned the vote counting methodology in their demands, expressed distrust in the counting of votes cast by mail and demanded the suspension of the electoral confirmation process in Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

However, the lawyers emphasize that the Trump campaign will have to provide convincing evidence of fraud to delay the confirmation of the results so that the deadline is “exceeded”.

Furthermore, to show that correcting possible discrepancies would actually change the final outcome of elections in one state or another. There is no evidence of widespread fraud.

And the conversions? Depending on state law, a candidate may be required to recount votes – the Trump campaign has already announced that this will be the case in Wisconsin. In Georgia, Biden’s lead is small enough (it hit 14,000 votes Wednesday, ed.), So the recalculation kicks in automatically.

In Pennsylvania, a conversion can be requested regardless of the dominance of one or the other candidate, but the procedure is mandatory if the advantage does not exceed 0.5 percent. (On Wednesday, J. Biden’s lead reached 0.68 percentage points and continued to increase, – ed.).

In Arizona, the counting of votes is allowed only if the difference between the votes received by the candidates does not exceed 0.1 percent. point.
