Q & A. What time is the result of the United States elections known?

In an unfavorable night for Joe Biden's presidential options,
Arizona
could be the only state to meet the Democratic expectations of a political turn in its favor, the only one to coincide with the polls that gave it as the winner in almost all the decisive states .
The former vice president was in the lead - with 76% of the vote counted - thanks to his wide advantage of more than 207,000 votes and his convincing victory in
Maricopa County
, where 61% of the population is concentrated.
His victory would leave him alive in the absence of knowing the results in
Pennsylvania
,
Michigan
and
Wisconsin
, states that Biden wants to win to prevent four more years of Donald Trump.
The possible triumph of Biden in a republican stronghold tells the story of a state in full demographic change, marked by immigration from other parts of the country -
California
, to a large extent -, greater diversity and the influence of the young and Latino vote.
Also the rejection of the president's incendiary rhetoric for four years by a significant part of the conservative electorate.
Key party figures turned their backs on the president in that region.
It would also have a marked historical character.
It would be the first victory for a Democratic presidential candidate in 24 years -
Bill Clinton
achieved it in 1996 - and the third since 1948, when
Harry Truman
defeated Republican
Thomas Dewey
, a victory gestated mainly in
Phoenix
, the capital and main city, and its surroundings.
Biden had 805,000 votes in that county, up from 702,000 votes for
Hillary Clinton
in 2016.
Democrats hoped that Arizona's blue tide phenomenon would spread to other Republican fiefdoms.
Texas was looking
good from the early afternoon.
Biden led the count with almost half the votes, something unusual for such a conservative state, but he was losing steam as the hours passed.
With 82% of the vote count, the Democrat ended up losing the State permanently by a difference of more than 600,000 votes.
Biden can boast of being close, following in the footsteps of
Beto O'Rourke
, the Democratic Senate candidate who managed to put
Ted Cruz
on
the ropes
in an electoral battle that he lost by just six points.
Like Arizona, Texas is experiencing a demographic shift that could make it a swing state in the near future.
