[ad_1]

Eight days after the US presidential election, the counting of votes still continues in many states. When the results were updated on Wednesday, there were minor changes in the previously predictable majority.

Overall, Democratic candidate Joe Biden has been chosen as the winner of the election, with 279 votes for the December election meeting. 270 of these voters are sufficient for the majority. All of these states, except Alaska, have at least 98 percent of the votes counted. Below is an overview of interim results in US states that have not yet made a decision or are particularly controversial.

GEORGIA: The state in the southeast has 16 votes for the electoral assembly. Biden’s lead increased to 14,100 votes on Wednesday. That means 49.5 percent for Biden and 49.2 percent for incumbent Donald Trump. Given the very close result, the government of this US state has already announced that the votes will be counted again.



NORTH CAROLINA:
The East Coast state sends 15 voters. Here Trump led with around 74,900 votes and had a 50% turnout. Biden had 48.7 percent.

ARIZONA: There are 11 voters in the southwestern state of the United States. Biden’s clear lead at the start of the count continued to shrink to 12,813 votes Wednesday. That’s 49.4 percent for Biden and 49.0 percent for Trump. The AP news agency and Fox television station had already announced a decision for Biden in Arizona on election night, but other outlets were reluctant.

NEVADA: In the state with the entertainment metropolis Las Vegas, six votes will be cast, which according to US media reports, Biden gets. Biden’s lead grew to more than 36,700 votes Wednesday. The president-elect of the United States consolidated his participation of 50.2 percent there, ahead of Trump with 47.5 percent.

ALASKA: In the sparsely populated state of the far northwestern United States, three votes will be cast for the electoral assembly. When about 71 percent of the votes were counted, Trump had a clear advantage of more than 46,500, slightly less than the day before. As of the latest interim results, the incumbent accounted for 56.9 percent and Biden for 39.1 percent. (sda / dpa)
