The headquarters of Republican candidate Donald Trump will demand a recount of votes in Wisconsin. Supporters of the President of the United States questioned the reliability of the voting results due to violations identified in several constituencies. The head of the electoral commission of the state Megan Wolfe, as reported by NBC, noted that all ballots in Wisconsin have already been processed. According to their results, Joseph Biden won here.
«Despite the ridiculous polls used as tactics to suppress voters' will, in Wisconsin, the difference in votes was very small, and we always knew that it would be so. Irregularities have been reported in several Wisconsin counties that raise serious doubts about the reliability of the vote. The President is within acceptable limits to demand a recount, and we will do so immediately.»- said at the Trump headquarters.
NBC, citing the head of the state election commission, reported that the Wisconsin government (10 electoral votes) processed all ballots. According to the broadcaster, the Democratic candidate Biden leads there with 49.5% of the vote, Trump - 48.8%. A gap of less than one percent allows the Republican to call for a recount.
At the same time, Reuters reports that the Michigan authorities have not yet counted all the ballots, they plan to complete the unofficial vote count by the end of the day.
«We know that tens of thousands of ballots still need to be counted. Our goal is to ensure not only transparency, but also accuracy [counting] »- said Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
After processing 95% of the ballots in Wisconsin, Biden won 49.6% of the vote, Trump 48.9%. In this state, presidential contenders can get 10 electoral votes. The Democrat also leads Michigan (16 electoral votes) and Nevada. If Biden wins in the listed states, he will gain 270 electoral votes and take over as head of state.
General Election Day was held in the United States on November 3. People elected a head of state, a vice president, 35 senators, the entire House of Representatives, 13 governors and local government representatives. According to the latest data from Fox News, of the 270 votes required, Trump is gaining 213, his opponent Joseph Biden - 238. Counting the ballots could take several more days.
Both contenders for the post of head of the White House have already announced their upcoming victory. Biden noted that it remains to wait for the counting of votes sent by mail. Trump, in turn, accused opponents of trying to falsify elections and plant ballots, taking advantage of a pause in counting in some US states, including the state of Pennsylvania, which is extremely important for both sides.
