China News Agency, Washington, November 5 (Reporter Chen Mengtong) The opening of the US 2020 general election has entered the second day.

As of the 5th, the identity of the new president of the United States is still unclear.

The lawsuits initiated by US President Trump’s team in many states have put a new question mark on the timing of the election results.

　　The slow counting of mailed ballots, coupled with the unusually stale election situation, has made it difficult for multiple "swing states" to judge the outcome even when more than 90% of the votes are issued.

　　The final suspense was concentrated in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada.

For Trump, he must win the first three states to have a chance to win.

The Democratic presidential candidate Biden maintains the lead in Arizona. If he wins Nevada, he will win the election.

　　After another day of counting, Trump and Biden have a weak lead in the aforementioned "swing states".

This advantage is weak enough to be reversed and overtaken by the opponent at the last minute.

　　Biden leads Nevada by 0.93%.

The state’s current billing rate is about 84%, the lowest of all "swing states."

According to the law of the state, as long as the postmark date is before the election day, and the ballots received before November 10 are valid.

Therefore, the result of the state's general election may not be clear until this weekend.

　　The Associated Press and other media predict that Biden will win Arizona with a high probability.

As of the evening of the 5th, his lead has been reduced to only 46,000 votes.

The state secretary of state said that Arizona still has about 390,000 votes yet to be counted.

　　Biden heard a briefing on the epidemic and the economy in Delaware on the afternoon of the 5th.

He then delivered a public speech, once again calling on the public to be patient and wait for all votes to be counted.

"We still feel good about the current election. When the vote count is over, we will win."

　　Trump made his first public appearance a day later.

He spoke at the White House on the election, accusing Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and other states of fraudulent vote counting.

He said, "If you count the legitimate votes, I can win easily. If you count the illegal votes, they will try to steal our election."

　　Not only that, the Trump campaign has also filed lawsuits in the above-mentioned states over the past few days, demanding that the local vote be stopped or recounted for reasons such as the opaque counting process or the illegality of some votes.

　　Regarding the relevant lawsuits, Pennsylvania Governor Wolf responded that this approach was completely wrong and violated the basic principles of the election.

"We must have confidence that it is the American people who are electing leaders, not leaders who are selecting voters."

　　According to Penn's official statistics updated at 21:00 on the 5th, Trump led Biden by less than 50,000 votes by a slight advantage of 0.67%.

The state has more than 200,000 mailed ballots left to count.

　　In Georgia, Trump led by just 0.04% by less than 2,000 votes.

The state secretary of state said that as of 20:40 on the 5th, there are still about 16,000 votes that have not yet been counted.

　　Although voting in the US general election has ended for two days, the vote statistics are far from over.

According to the different electoral laws of the various states in the United States, as long as the postmark date is November 3, the mailed ballot will be considered valid if it is delivered within 3 days to a week.

　　"Washington Post" stated that the US Postal Service handled nearly 150,000 ballots nationwide on the 4th, with a delivery punctuality rate of 94.5%.

In order to improve delivery efficiency, the bureau also encourages local outlets to simplify sorting procedures and directly send ballots to polling stations.
