Joe Biden has been declared the winner in the state of Michigan, and then he’s just six voters away from victory.
Five states can now decide who will be the next president of the United States: Donald Trump or challenger Joe Biden.
Biden has 264 voters, while Trump has 214. The candidate who reaches 270 voters wins the presidential election.
Joe Biden now only needs Nevada, a state he leads, to get 270 voters. Or in Georgia, North Carolina or Pennsylvania.
However, victory is not yet assured and only decimals separate the two candidates in various states.
Arizona and Michigan to Biden
At the time of writing, the VG graph showing the distribution of voters in the presidential election reads 253 for Biden and 213 for Trump.
This graph is based on data provided by the DPA news agency.
Our own summary, which is based on what the American media Associated Press, CNN, Fox News, NBC News and the New York Times report, shows that Biden has 264 voters against Trump’s 214.
The reason for this is that 11 Arizona voters favor Biden here, but not on the charts. Both AP and Fox News have determined that Biden wins Arizona, and the data we see from districts in this state supports this.
The ten districts where Trump receives the most support have low population numbers and are largely done counting. In the two largest municipalities, Maricopa and Pima, Biden gets 52.3 and 60.2 percent of the vote, respectively. There are also more votes left to count here than in the rest of the state.
Biden already leads with 3.4 percent in Arizona and will apparently increase this gap.
Status of the remaining states
The extra constituency Trump is missing from the charts comes from Maine, where the New York Times, among other things, gives Trump one constituency and Biden three.
VG gets its figures from the DPA news agency, which updates its figures somewhat later than, for example, Fox News.
In these states, the Battle of the White House (number of voters in parentheses) is:
- I Nevada (6) Trump faces Biden, who has a small 0.6 percentage point lead and just under 8,000 votes. The state won’t count any more until Thursday morning.
- I Pennsylvania (20) leads Donald Trump by five percent when 86 percent of the vote is reported. In this state, Biden faces the American president.
- I North Carolina (15) leads Trump by 1.4 percentage points. According to the New York Times, there is an 86 percent chance that Trump will win the state, with 94 percent of the votes reported.
- I Georgia (16) 96 percent of the vote has been reported in the state, with Trump leading by 1.4 percentage points so far, but the New York Times believes Biden ends up winning here.
- Also remains Alaska (3), where Trump has significant leadership.

Claim victory in several unsolved states
Trump took to Twitter Wednesday night to declare victory in Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan. He further states that the ballot papers have been cast in secret, of which there is no proof. No one else has declared Trump’s victory in these four states, even though he leads in three of them.
Biden, in turn, tweeted “count every vote.” He thinks there will be enough voters for him to win, but we haven’t declared anything yet.
“Democracy is the heartbeat of this nation,” he said in a speech Wednesday.
The OSCE’s chief election observer in the United States criticizes Donald Trump for undermining confidence in democracy with his accusations of election fraud.
– Unsubstantiated accusations of systematic shortcomings, especially by the incumbent president, even on election night, damage the public’s confidence in democratic institutions, says Michael Georg Link.
