2020 US election results: Biden leads in four of the six missing states - can he extend his lead?
Washington DC - The election mystery of
the US election 2020 is
still going
on, because it is a
neck and neck
race in this presidential election 2020 *
Six states are now only open
, of which Joe Biden * leads in four before his rival and incumbent US President Donald Trump *.
And these aren't insignificant states.
Especially Pennsylvania, in which Biden has only been leading since yesterday, November 6, 2020, brings the winner 20 electors.
This means that Pennsylvania has the fifth most electors in any US state, after California, Texas, Florida and New York
.
Therefore it is especially important for both parties.
Biden can be sure of victory with Pennsylvania *, as he would have 273 electors.
There must be at least 270 electors to win the US election.
It would be a glimmer of hope for Trump to still win the election.
It currently stands at 213 electors.
For him, victory is only possible with Pennsylvania.

It's very tight and Donald Trump was in the lead for a long time.
Many absentee votes are still missing from the count.
Since the
majority of the postal votes voted for the Democrats
, Biden was able to continuously catch up.
With
20 electors outstanding, the outcome of that state can determine the outcome of the US election
.

2020 U.S. Election Results: The Georgia Vote Distribution
The results in Georgia * also remain exciting.
Here, too, Trump was still ahead on election day and afterwards.
Now that it is the turn of the postal votes to be counted, Biden was able to catch up and take the lead.
However, the
result in Georgia
seems
to be so close that a
recount of the votes is
conceivable.

As in all other states, the distribution of votes in North Carolina * is just as tight.
Here, however, things look
better
for incumbent
President Donald Trump
.

seem safe to the president.

Biden
that day
- even though not enough votes had yet been counted to give a clear allocation.
