Voice counters in Arizona are waiting for the next round of ballots to be counted.
Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States, but vote counting is still ongoing in four states.
Here are the latest figures in states that are not yet Democratically Blue or Republican.
The vote count in the United States is moving slowly. During the night Swedish time, no new status has been announced for any of the candidates, and only very small movements have been observed.
Thus, several US media, such as CNN, remain with their report that Biden has secured 279 voters and Donald Trump 214.
270 electoral votes are needed to pinch the presidency.
Those numbers don’t include Arizona, as Fox News, for example, already announced to Joe Biden. On Fox News, the Democrat has 290 electoral votes.
To date, a total of approximately 76.1 million votes have gone to Biden (50.6 percent) and 71.5 million (47.6 percent) to Trump.
Here is the situation in the not yet completed states:
Pennsylvania – 20 electoral votes
With 98 percent of the votes counted, Biden has been declared the winner of the Wavemaster State of Pennsylvania. Currently, Biden has 49.7 percent of the vote and Trump 49.0 percent, according to the latest figures from CNN.
The last votes are expected to take several days to count, and votes are always recalculated when the margin of victory is less than 0.5 percentage points.
Several legal processes are ongoing in the state. In Philadelphia, the Trump campaign has gained greater transparency in the counting process. The Trump campaign also wanted the counting of votes that came in after Election Day to stop. It was dismissed by a state Supreme Court judge on Friday. However, mail-in ballots received after 8:00 p.m. on Election Day are separated from other votes.
Georgia – 16 electoral votes
It’s an even race in the state of Georgia, where Biden is 49.5 percent to Trump’s 49.3, with about 99 percent of the vote counted.
The position is so even that votes will probably be recalculated here. However, the recalculation can only take place when the result of the elections in the state has been approved, which can take until November 20.
Georgia judges have rejected a request from Republicans not to count late votes. The two Republicans who are the party’s candidates in two Senate by-elections in January, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, have jointly asked Georgia’s Acting Prime Minister Brad Raffensperger to step down because the state has failed to secure an “honest outcome. “. Raffensperger, who is a Republican, has responded that the election was a “resounding success” from an administrative point of view.
North Carolina – 15 electoral votes
With just over 98 percent of the votes counted in North Carolina, Trump has 50.0 percent to Biden’s 48.7 percent. The state is traditionally a strong Republican stronghold, but according to CNN no winner has yet been named.
According to the authorities, a final result is not expected until the end of this week.
Arizona – 11 electoral votes
In Arizona, Trump continues to take advantage of Biden’s leadership and with 98 percent of the votes counted, Biden is at 49.5 percent against Trump’s 48.9. Currently, this is just over 17,000 votes in favor of Biden.
Here too the vote count is expected to be prolonged. This is because it is automatically recalculated if there is a difference of less than 0.1 percentage point between the candidates.
Nevada – 6 electoral votes
It is considered that Biden took home the victory in Nevada. With 97 percent of the votes counted, he leads Trump by 50.2 to 47.5 percent.
The responsible minister and the Nevada Supreme Court will review the votes on the fourth Tuesday in November. A candidate who has lost can request a recalculation up to three days after the exam.
Alaska – 3 electoral votes
Only 52 percent of the votes in Alaska are counted. Donald Trump currently leads with 62.2 percent, Biden has 33.6 percent, according to CNN.
No Democrat has brought Alaska home in decades.
