US Elections: Fury When Philadelphia Stops Reporting On Mail Vote Counting

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, has stopped reporting the results of the evening’s mail-in ballots in a move that has sparked anger among Americans eagerly awaiting the election result.

The decision to stop reporting new results until 9 a.m. tomorrow (US time) is significant because it means that the results we have so far for the state could skew in favor of Donald Trump.

A national spokesman for the Republican Party has stated that the interruption of the reports is proof of fraud.

The decision caused widespread confusion this afternoon after the city was initially believed to be abandoning the count altogether overnight; however, a live broadcast of the vote count paints a different picture.

So far, only about 76,000 of the city’s 350,000 mail-in ballots have been counted, and with Biden fans more likely to vote by mail, it means we won’t see an accurate representation of the state’s results until it resumes. the count.

And in a new blow, election officials have said the final result may not be known until Friday.

It’s especially important because of all the so-called battlefield states, Pennsylvania has long been considered the most crucial of all.

It is considered to be the most likely “tipping point” state, meaning that if elections are narrowed down to one state, it will likely be Pennsylvania, which is why the decision to stop the count has caused so much panic.

What does this mean for the election result

There may be 50 states in America, but when the votes are counted, only a handful of them, including Pennsylvania, decide who wins the presidential election.

In this election, 15 states fall into the category of “undecided state” or “battlefield state”, which means that Donald Trump or Joe Biden could possibly win them.

As for the rest, we already know who will win them: Trump has no chance in Democratic Party strongholds like New York and California, for example, while he’s probably unbeatable in heavily Republican territory, like Alabama or Oklahoma.

In 2016, Trump snapped the Pennsylvania Democrats’ six-election winning streak, worth 20 electoral votes, blowing up the idea that he had changed from purple to solid blue.

However, it was pretty close, with a margin of just 0.71 percent.
