The counting of votes in the US presidential election is underway and Biden needs only 6 electoral votes to win.
Counting continues two days after voting for the 59th presidential election in the United States, with the results of five states yet to be announced. With 264 votes, Biden is ahead of the Republican candidate and current US President Donald Trump, while President Trump has received 214 votes, but there are protests in various cities against the delay in the results.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is just six electoral votes away from his victory. If he gets six electoral votes, Biden will get the required majority for victory and the eyes of the world are fixed on the results of five states.
According to US media, election results from Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina could not be released. In Nevada, mail-in voting will continue until November 10, after which the counting of votes and the announcement of results is expected by November 12.
In Pennsylvania, on the other hand, President Trump's party protested against the non-inclusion of its observers in the vote count, which was halted, delaying the results.
In Arizona and Georgia, the results will be announced tomorrow after the count, with no final deadline for North Carolina.
The count of nearly 140 million votes cast in the election has been completed, the highest number of votes cast in the US presidential election.
It should be noted that the total number of voters in the United States is about 240 million. In the 2016 presidential election, which resulted in Donald Trump becoming US President, 59.2% of American voters exercised their franchise. According to the tally so far, the rate is approaching 60% and some political observers have even predicted that the rate could be 65% or more.
Although Biden is optimistic about his victory, he has told his supporters that he will not announce his victory until the full results are out. On the other hand, President Trump has raised serious questions about the election process in various states.
