US elections: what is the latest news in critical states that will affect the outcome?

While the vote counting continues in the US presidential election, the difference between President Donald Trump and his rival Joe Biden is very small. The outcome is still difficult to predict. The states that will determine the fate of the race appear to be Michigan and Pennsylvania. So what’s the latest in critical states?

In the United States, the jury determines the president. The Selection Committee with 538 members is determined by sending delegates from each state in proportion to its population. With 270 members on the Selection Committee, the candidate declares his presidency.

So far, vote counting is ongoing in eight states where the outcome may vary. Based on the states where the outcome is certain, there are 224 Democrats who will elect Joe Biden and 213 of the Republicans who will elect President Trump.

For now, Biden, who is leading the race, needs 46 more delegates to announce his presidency, considering the states where the outcome is clear.

However, vote counting was suspended in some critical states. Because here, in the framework of the coronavirus measures, many voters preferred to vote by mail.

While the majority of voters who voted by mail voted in favor of the Democratic Party, it is seen that voters who went to the polls mainly preferred Trump, the Republican candidate.

In Nevada, where 86 percent of the vote is counted, Joe Biden is ahead by a small margin. Send six delegates to the State Selection Committee.

Nevada voters who choose to vote by mail must have submitted their ballot no later than November 3. The ballot must arrive no later than November 10.

Counting has been suspended in the state because mailed votes are expected. Counting will resume on Thursday, but final results are expected next week.

One of the critical states of this election was Arizona.

In the state where 98 percent of the vote is counted, Biden appears four points ahead of his rival. Arizona sends 11 delegates to the Selection Committee.

Votes mailed in the state were required to arrive in place no later than November 3. For this reason, the vote count is expected to be completed by Wednesday night no later than local time.

Trump, who generally beat Republican Party candidates, was only able to win by four percent in 2016. Opinion polls this year showed the needle was pointing at Biden.

In Arizona, the Latin American population and the urban upper-middle class are growing. Both districts predominantly prefer Democrats. It is also among the states hardest hit by the coronavirus epidemic. A significant number of voters think Trump has mishandled the crisis.

In Wisconsin, which sent 10 delegates to the Selection Committee, 97 percent of the votes were counted. Biden leads the race here by less than one point.

In this state, the votes cast by mail should have arrived on Election Day, November 3. For this reason, the vote count is expected to finish in a few hours.

If Biden continues and wins in these three states as he currently does, he wins another 27 delegates. Therefore, 19 delegates are needed for the presidency.

However, it is too early to make any predictions on this issue.

The state most likely to affect the outcome of the elections; Michigan with 16 delegates.

In the state, where 90 percent of the vote is counted, Biden leads the election by a small margin. On Wednesday morning, the gap gradually narrowed in the state where Trump was two points ahead and Biden took the lead by 0.2 percent.

Untold votes are only those cast by mail. Biden is ahead by a wide margin in the votes that have been published so far in the state.

The final results are expected to be announced tonight, as a vote is not expected in the state, which must arrive no later than November 3 for the ballot count.

In 2016, Trump won this state by just 0.3 percent. Traditionally voting for the Democratic Party, this working-class state has broken a 28-year tradition by electing Trump, who promised to implement trade policies that would revive the manufacturing sector.

Joe Biden, whose father is a car dealer, has a deep connection to Detroit, the heart of the state’s auto industry. Biden visited this state frequently during his tenure as vice president.

Even the province’s beloved governor, Gretchen Whitmer, was among the names considered for Biden’s vice president for a period.

As for the states where the results are announced, President Trump, who won 213 of the delegates, needs 57 more delegates to protect his seat.

Although a small portion of the vote is still counted in Alaska, one of the states where the polls were last closed, Trump has been ahead by a large margin in the state that has supported Republican candidates for decades. Trump will likely have three delegates from this state.

Supporting the Republican Party presidential candidate in every election held since 1960 except two elections, the state sends 16 delegates to the Electoral College.

The Democratic Party candidate, Biden, had hopes of winning this state, where anti-racist actions were carried out and they reacted to Trump’s policies in this direction.

Yet in Georgia, where 92 percent of the vote is counted, President Trump leads the race by 3 points. There is a possibility that the count will be extended to a few days due to a major water pipe explosion in the state, where mail-in ballots were accepted and reached the latest date of November 3.

All votes not counted are votes cast by mail. Although these votes come primarily from regions that support Democrats, the three-point difference between Biden and Trump is unlikely to change the outcome.

In the state with 15 delegates, 95 percent of the votes were counted. Although pre-election polls show Biden ahead, Trump is 1.5 points ahead of his opponent based on counts made so far.

In this state, votes were required to be posted by November 3 and reached by November 12. So, the final results will be announced only next week.

North Carolina is the first state in which voting by mail began, and the number of requests for vote-by-mail has reached a record high to date. More than half of those who made this demand are members of the Democratic Party.

In Pennsylvania, with 20 delegates, 77 percent of the vote was counted.

This is the state with the fewest votes. Because in the state, where it was allowed to publish the votes until November 3 and go until November 6, a large number of voters preferred to vote by mail. Once these votes are reached, the final result is expected to be announced on Friday.

The majority of the votes cast by mail in this state so far have been Democrats.

Trump, who received 54.3 percent of the votes counted, is about 10 points ahead of his rival in this state, but the gap is seen to decrease as the polls open.

Most of the votes expected to arrive by mail come from places with a strong democratic electoral base. But the remaining 24 percent is too early to tell whether or not the game will change the outcome.

Winning Pennsylvania, which has the highest number of delegates among states where the outcome is uncertain, is critical for both candidates.

Trump opposed the postal voting system here in October, but the court did not accept Trump’s appeal, as the delay in the result would also delay the president’s announcement.

This is a state that traditionally votes for the Democratic candidate. But four years ago, Trump won here, especially with the votes of those who live in the west of the state.

Biden, who was born in Pennsylvania, also met with voters here frequently until the last day of the election campaign to reclaim his party’s former stronghold using this link.
