Counting the results of the US presidential elections will be delayed, most likely, for several days. Reported by Reuters.
It is known that the Wisconsin authorities said they would not announce the results tonight (there are 9 hours less than in Moscow – approx. ” Lenta.ru “). In Michigan, the state secretary warned of the need for another day to count the votes. The situation is similar in Pennsylvania, where votes can count for several days, which could delay the announcement of the winner by several days.
Currently, according to Fox News, Democratic candidate Joe Biden is ahead of incumbent head of state Donald Trump in the number of electors to support them – 237 versus 210. Trump is known to be ahead of Biden in a number of so-called “swing states.” Trump will almost certainly win in Texas, Iowa and Ohio.
According to the information at 8.30 Moscow time, in Pennsylvania he also has a 56 percent advantage, while Biden has only 41 after counting 64 percent of the vote. The Republican also leads so far in the faltering Georgia, Wisconsin and North Carolina.
Earlier it was reported that Trump won a victory in the key state of Florida. As a result of counting 98 percent, Trump won 51.3 percent of the vote, while Biden got 47.8. These are quite unexpected results, since during the election campaign the Democrats staked on him.
The preferences of residents in the “swing states” are divided approximately equally (swing states), the victory in the vote there with an equal degree of probability can go to a candidate from any of the parties.
