US President Donald Trump called for the presidential election results to be announced on the evening of the third of November, at a time when Twitter announced that it would place a warning sign on any tweet from influential accounts that try to declare victory before the official results were announced, on the last day of the intense election campaign. To win the swing states.
The Axios website quoted informed sources as saying that Trump informed those close to him of his intention to announce his early victory on the evening of the third of November if there were indications of his progress over his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.
He added that he would not allow the elections to be stolen from him as happened with other people.
More than 95 million had voted in the presidential election by Monday, according to a tally by the US Election Project at the University of Florida.
This paves the way for what is expected to be the highest participation in elections in modern history, one day before the official vote.
This record number constituted 69% of all voting participants in the 2016 elections.
Opinion polls have shown, over the past months, that Biden is the most likely to win the election, but Republican Trump says he will lie to her, just as he did in his surprise victory in 2016 over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Today, Trump denounced the "rigged" opinion polls, expressing confidence in a victory.
"Tomorrow, we'll win 4 more years in the White House," he told supporters in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on the final day of the campaign.
And in the latest polls of voting intentions today, on the eve of the poll, the average opinion polls, determined by RealClearPolitics, lead Biden in the race with 51% of voting intentions, by 6.7 points over Trump (44.3%).
This progress has remained broadly stable over the months of the campaign, sometimes reaching around 10 points.
The current difference is more than double what former candidate Clinton got on the eve of the vote 4 years ago.
At the time, opinion polls were relatively correct on the popular vote that the Democratic candidate won.
To reach the White House, a majority of the votes of the electorate declaring state after state must be won, so attention is focused on a number of swing states likely to move from camp to camp.
Biden is comfortably ahead of Trump in opinion polls in Michigan (+5.1 points) and Wisconsin (+6.6 points), two northern states of the United States that got their billionaire Republican votes 4 years ago, surprising everyone, and contributing to his victory.
And in Pennsylvania, which is one of the states whose results are highly expected in this election, its progress appears below the general average, as it records a progress of 4.3 points, which is closer to the margin of error, while voting intentions seem very close to the main states in the south of the country.
In Florida - which Trump must keep at all costs if he wants a chance to win - the results of the two candidates (one point in favor of Biden) who lead according to the latest New York Times / Siena poll (+3), but according to the Washington Post / ABC poll News, Trump is the one leading (+2).
The situation is similar in Arizona (one point on average in Biden's favor).
As for North Carolina, the curves met the end of the line, and it is now giving Trump a slight advance of 0.6 points.
But in major states, most opinion polls - deemed favorable to Republicans - attribute the running to the outgoing president.
These institutes, like Trafalgar, are accused of being biased and of using a methodology that many observers and pollsters question, but they are proud to have predicted Trump's victory in 2016.
And in the final moments of the presidential race, former intelligence director John Brennan said that Trump continues to instill fear among voters because he says the election will be rigged, accusing the president of spreading many lies and dividing society.
In the same context, Twitter announced Monday that it will place a warning flag on any tweet published by one of the presidential candidates or their campaigns, and other influential accounts that try to announce victory before the official results are announced, and the user will also be transferred to the official election page.
Twitter will be relied upon as a source to announce the results either by election officials or the expectations of at least two reliable media outlets, including "CNN", "Associated Press" (AP), and "ABC" (ABC).
"From election night until the president's inauguration, we will sort out some tweets that contain allegations about the election results," the company said in a blog.
Twitter added that it will remove tweets that encourage violence or call for people to interfere in the election results or the voting process.
