The US Supreme Court quarantined part of the ballots in the presidential elections in the state of Pennsylvania at the request of the Republicans. TASS reports.
According to the court ruling, state election commissions should separate ballots that arrived at polling stations after they closed on November 3 and keep their count separately from the rest. Election commissions will have to comply with this requirement until further court orders.
Earlier, Republicans demanded that the US Supreme Court annul the ballots in Pennsylvania. Party representatives said that the judicial authorities should decide on the legality of these ballots.
It is noted that in Pennsylvania, ballots were accepted by mail within days of the election. At the moment, the vote count is still ongoing. According to the latest data, Democratic candidate Joe Biden is marginally ahead in the state. Incumbent President Donald Trump needs to secure the support of 20 Pennsylvania electors to qualify for re-election.
In the United States, the counting of votes for candidates for the presidency of the country continues. The current president, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, who served as vice president under Barack Obama, are fighting for him. In many states, the difference between applicants is a fraction of a percent.
