The election is stalemate, the results are delayed
According to reports, voting for the 2020 presidential election in the United States was held on November 3, local time.
Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the number of voters who choose to vote by mail has greatly increased, making it difficult for many states to complete vote counting on the night of election day as usual.
Comprehensive U.S. media election results forecasts and export polls show that the U.S. election map shows a reddish central and southeastern region (supporting the Republican Party), and the west coast and northeastern blue (supporting the Democratic Party).
Forecasts show that because Biden has won important "swing states" Michigan and Wisconsin, he is currently ahead of Trump in the number of electoral votes, close to the 270 votes required to win the general election.
At the same time, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia still have no clear elections.
In Nevada, Biden is slightly ahead of Trump, and Trump temporarily leads in the remaining three states.
Nevada stated that the next ballot result will be announced on the morning of the 5th local time (evening on the 5th Beijing time).
