Update from November 5, 7:02 a.m.: The tide has turned

in the trembling game for the office of US President.

The incumbent

US President Donald Trump

can currently

count on 213 voters.

Joe Biden

leads with 253 voters.

In order to be able to unite the necessary 270 voters, the challenger is still missing 17 votes.

Alaska is already lost to him.

There Trump leads with 62.9 to 33.0 percent.

However, any combination of any two of the remaining five states can lead Joe Biden to victory.

If he could win

Pennsylvania

(20 voters) for himself, Biden wouldn't even need a second state.

The Georgia election results are expected by 9 a.m.

Update from November 5, 5:50 a.m.:

The incumbent

US President Donald Trump

made it clear on Thursday night (CET) not to recognize the previous count in several states.

"We are calling for victory in Pennsylvania (no legal election observers are allowed there) and in the states of Georgia and North Carolina, in which there is a large Trump lead." Another Trump tweet with which Trump calls for victory in Michigan was removed from Twitter.

Twitter has also provided Trump's demand with a warning that the content could contain “possibly misleading” content.

We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won't allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a BIG Trump lead.

Additionally, we hereby claim the State of Michigan if, in fact, .....

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 4, 2020

The results are currently pending in six states.

In Alaska, Trump can look back on a massive lead with 62.9% (Joe Biden received 33% of the vote so far).

In Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, the incumbent US president has to fear for his lead by a few percentage points.

Challenger Joe Biden is currently leading in Nevada and Arizona.

It remains a tremendous game.

legal means

Trump's campaign team justified the move by stating that, according to an observer,

53 ballot papers had been illegally added to the batch of voting papers that

had

arrived on time

US election 2020 in the live ticker: Trump wants to declare the election victory - also in Pennsylvania

Update from November 4, 9.45 p.m.:

Donald Trump is now fighting in more and more places with the

help of

his

lawyers

: After (announced) lawsuits in Wisconsin and Michigan, a legal battle over the election result in

Pennsylvania

is now to

follow.

There he went to court

to stop

the

vote count

.

The election campaign team spoke of a lack of "transparency" in the polling stations, reports

AFP

.

At the moment counting is still in progress in Pennsylvania.

According to

CNN

, Trump is ahead of the number of votes counted with 52.6 percent.

Biden is 46.1 percent.

So far, 82 percent of the votes have been counted.

But even before election day on Tuesday, the

Supreme Court

decided

to allow ballot papers that will not arrive until three days after the election, as long as they were sent before the polling stations closed *.

Trump strongly criticized this from the start.

It is believed that

postal votes are

particularly popular with Democratic voters.

Several

US White House reporters

also quote Bill Stepien, Trump's campaign manager, as saying, “We are declaring a victory in Pennsylvania.

This is not based on gut or feeling.

It's based on math. "

Update from November 4th, 8:00 p.m.:

This

US election

should go down in history by now.

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

.

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.

A final result is thus delayed indefinitely.

US election 2020: Whirl around the first tweet in the morning - Trump smells magical powers after new numbers: "Strange"

First report from November 4th:

Washington - Polling stations in the

United States

have 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.
