Joe Biden was announced the Arizona winner on Wednesday. Now it turns out that there are many more votes to count than previously thought. Therefore, Trump has a chance to win this important seesaw state.
Fox News and other outlets declared Joe Biden’s victory in the state of Arizona on Wednesday morning.
Now it turns out that the calculations that 98 percent of the votes have been counted are wrong. The correct figure is 86 percent, writes the New York Times:
– Due to an error in the Edison Research database, the estimated number of votes counted has been too high. The real figure is that 86 percent of the votes have already been counted.
In other words, it could quickly turn in favor of Trump. Right now, Biden leads with 93,500 votes, but the lead continues to decline.
So far, 2.7 million votes have been counted and Biden leads by a narrow margin with 51 percent of the vote. Trump is at 47.6.
Presidential candidates compete for eleven state voters.
Arizona has traditionally been a safe bet for Republicans. The Reds have won nine of the last ten presidential elections in this state. In 2016, Trump won the state by just over three percentage points.

– Don’t believe the numbers
In Chandler, Arizona, VG met with Trump supporter Dave Kern shortly after conservative Fox News named Joe Biden the winner.
Despite the news, Kern was still one hundred percent certain that Trump would win the election.
– Biden must have won old Arizona. But I really don’t believe in these numbers. I think there are a lot of pitfalls on the part of the Democrats, the man told VG on Wednesday, adding: “Trump will win!”
Now you may be right.
The Trump campaign is also said to have reacted strongly to the fact that Fox News was quick to announce Biden.

Crucial state
Arizona is one of seven states that can now decide elections, writes the New York Times.
There are many postal votes that are not listed here. Historically, these often tilt in favor of democracy, but this year they may also tilt the other way, according to newspaper reporter Nate Cohn. Additionally, Democrats tend to vote faster and therefore many of the remaining votes may be Republican.
Trump can afford to lose Arizona if he takes at least 57 voters from: Alaska (3), Georgia (16), Michigan (16), Nevada (6), North Carolina (15), Pennsylvania (20) and Wisconsin ( 10). .
Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin support Biden.
