Wake up, the U.S. general election has a big turnaround: Wisconsin and Michigan have "turned blue" successively. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has obtained 264 electoral votes, only six votes short of winning 270 votes.And the current president, trump, tweeted: last night, I was far ahead in almost all the key states. Then, as the unexpected votes were counted, they began to magically disappear Its team claims to have filed lawsuits in several States to stop or recount votes.There are 538 electoral votes in the US presidential election, and candidates must win at least 270 of them. Most states have a winner take all rule, while Maine and Nebraska distribute electoral votes in proportion to the popular vote.As of the evening of the 4th local time, Biden won Illinois (20 votes), Virginia (13 votes), Maryland (10 votes), Delaware (3 votes), New Jersey (14 votes), Connecticut (7 votes), Rhode Island (4 votes), Massachusetts (11 votes), Vermont (3 votes), New Mexico (5 votes), New York (29 votes) and Washington, D.C (3 votes), Colorado (9 votes), New Hampshire (4 votes), Washington (12 votes), Oregon (7 votes), California (55 votes), Hawaii (4 votes), Minnesota (10 votes), Nebraska (1 vote), Maine (3 votes), Arizona (11 votes), Wisconsin (10 votes), and Michigan (16 votes) totaled 264 Tickets.Trump won West Virginia (5 votes), Kentucky (8 votes), Tennessee (11 votes), Arkansas (6 votes), Mississippi (6 votes), Alabama (9 votes), Oklahoma (7 votes), South Carolina (9 votes), Indiana (11 votes), Wyoming (3 votes), Nebraska (4 votes), and South Dakota (3 votes) There were 214 votes in total, including North Dakota (3 votes), Louisiana (8 votes), Kansas (6 votes), Missouri (10 votes), Idaho (4 votes), Utah (6 votes), Montana (3 votes), Ohio (18 votes), Iowa (6 votes), Florida (29 votes), Texas (38 votes), and Maine (1 vote).There are five states that have not yet released the final results: Pennsylvania (20 votes), Georgia (16 votes), North Carolina (15 votes), Nevada (6 votes) and Alaska (3 votes).Coincidentally, Biden's six electoral votes in Nevada, the leading state in the race, are enough to make him a total of 270 to win the election.According to the latest news from CNN and other US media, the vote counting work in Nevada is still going on. Election officials in the state said that the further counting results will not be updated until the morning of the 5th local time (the evening of the 5th Beijing time).At present, Biden also leads trump by more than 68.33 million votes with 71.66 million votes.
The governor of Chang'an Street noted that the process of the US presidential election has been ups and downs. For most of the time, Biden actually won electoral votes ahead of trump and won Arizona (11 votes) that trump won four years ago. However, because trump has won Florida (29 votes) and Texas (38 votes) successively, and his leading position in the counting of votes in key swing states such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, it is believed that trump is likely to win the final victory.In the early hours of the 4th local time, trump announced that "we have won this election." "We're going to the Supreme Court, we're going to stop all ballots," he added, to prevent "they (Democrats) finding (New) votes at 4 a.m.". "It's cheating the American public, it's embarrassing for our country," trump saidBut Biden was not weak, he said: "when the count is over, we believe we will be the winner."On the morning of the 4th local time (the evening of the 4th Beijing time), the situation changed. As the postal ballots began to be counted, Biden successively defeated trump in Wisconsin (10 votes) and Michigan (16 votes) in the Great Lakes region, and finally won their electoral votes. Both states voted for trump four years ago.In this regard, trump expressed strong dissatisfaction and doubt. Trump tweeted, "last night, I was firmly ahead in almost all the key states, with almost all the democratic parties running and controlling. Then, one by one, as unexpected votes were counted, they began to magically disappear. It's strange, and those pollsters are totally wrong, historicHe also said, "Why are the percentages and destructive power of these postal ballots every time they are counted in?"However, Trump's words were officially identified by Twitter as "controversial in part or in whole, which may mislead how to participate in elections or other civic procedures."
Since then, the trump campaign claimed to have initiated legal proceedings in several states: immediately demanded a recount in Wisconsin; filed a lawsuit in Michigan to stop counting; is suing in Pennsylvania over the poll observer and voter identification act to prevent "Democrats conspiring to deprive and dilute Republican votes"; and in Georgia, it filed a lawsuit demanding that The counting of votes will be suspended.In response, Biden's campaign expressed strong opposition, saying that "trump's statement of trying to stop all vote counting is shameless, unprecedented and wrong" and "it has naked deprived the American people of their democratic rights".
