Update from November 4, 2020, 8 p.m.:
This
US election
should already go down in history.
While
Donald Trump is
already talking about a victory in the US election and challenger
Joe Biden is given
good chances due to the outstanding votes in the postal vote, another scandal now seems to be looming.
As the news portal Raw Story reports, thousands of
postal voting slips have
apparently been lost.
According to this, the
US Post
should not have delivered the postal voting data punctually before the deadline for acceptance.
As the portal reports,
around 27 percent of all postal voting
data are
apparently
not delivered in
South Florida
alone
.
So far, the election glitch has not been officially confirmed.
It also remains unclear what such a scandal would mean for the outcome of the US election.
Trump has already announced lawsuits for Wisconsin.
A final result is thus delayed indefinitely.
Donald Trump has already filed the lawsuit for the state of Michigan in the afternoon (local time).
As a reason, the campaign team stated that "sufficient access" had not been granted.
Accordingly, the team around the incumbent President Trump wants to check all already opened election envelopes again.
US election 2020: Whirl around the first tweet in the morning - Trump smells magical powers after new numbers: "Strange"
Initial report dated November 4, 2020:
Washington - Polling stations in the
United States
are closed.
The counting of the votes for the US presidential election 2020 is far from over.
Traditionally, it is the "swing states" that again tip the scales when determining the winner.
Joe Biden *
won the counts in key states such as New Hampshire and Minnesota, while Democrats predict a similar success for Pennsylvania.
He was then confident: He was "on track to win this election," said the 77-year-old to supporters in Delaware.
Later he was able to take over the traditionally conservative Arizona.
2020 US election live: Decision between Donald Trump and Joe Biden after counting the votes
By Friday at the latest, it should be clear in Europe who will act as US President in the future.
If
Donald Trump * has his
way, this is already certain: "We have won this election," said the incumbent in Washington on Tuesday, although the outcome of the election was and is not yet clear in reality.

The 74-year-old senses a conspiracy in the US election and spoke of “deceiving the nation” in his speech, and also announced: “We will go to the Supreme Court.
We want all voting to end. ”What are these statements based on?
It is presumably about the counting in various states, where Trump determines a "magical" shrinking of his lead, even though a solid lead previously existed (more on this in the previous ticker).
In fact, in many places the Democrats can gain the more
correspondence votes are included
in the result.
However, Trump had already raised doubts about the legality of the postal vote * during the election campaign - although this form of voting is a common form of
voting
.
Without adding any conclusive evidence, he warned against massive falsifications in the count.
According to experts, the majority of postal voters should have voted for Biden.
Election as US President: Donald Trump sees the lead melting and suspects conspiracy
The incumbent raged on Wednesday morning (local time) in his first tweet after getting up: “Last night I
often led clearly
in many
key states
, in almost all instances that are led or controlled by Democrats.
Then one by one they
magically disappeared
after surprising ballots were counted.
VERY UNIQUE, the "pollsters" were completely and historically wrong! "
Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled.
Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted.
VERY STRANGE, and the “pollsters” got it completely & historically wrong!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 4, 2020
Nonetheless, there is still a chance of re-election as US President *.
But it is already becoming apparent that the US president will again be able to collect fewer votes than his democratic adversary, as in 2016.
