Are 6 key states that are not yes and yes, not all the votes have been counted and thats something thats going to take several days at least. To do. President trump has a very mentioned falsely claiming victory last night. Its video both of them during their announcements last night they spoke at length and were going to have all of that for you uninterrupted throughout broadcast and we actually went on to say that he was going to go to the Supreme Court to get the. Ballot counting to stop and said the democrats are trying to steal the but as we said we do need to continue. Counting all the ballots thats how the election works were waiting for 6 key states said in the end its not like theyre stragglers james are surprising. We knew that it would take this long because some of those des states didnt begin the ballot counting this morning, yes, 07 00am and that was the pill youre bit is that every state has its own rules and in fact in some cases every county within the state has its own
To call there right now, but those are the states in which hes leading the most strongly in joe biden however leading in the state of arizona at first of nevada right now and again that continues to grow in his favor as more and more counts come in hes also leading in the state of wisconsin another state where his lead continues to grow as the count continues, michigan a different story at the moment President Trump is leading there, however his great his lead is shrinking with each new ballot that comes in a lot of these ballots are being counted right now are those early mail in ballots which are skewing heavily towards the democrats will see if joe biden can make up that lead in the final analysis there only a couple paths to victory for either candidate. Joe biden if he does claim arizona which at this point it looks like nevada should say which looks like hes about to do in the next 12 hours or so. Although we have to say the cabbie out is theyre not going release any new numbers
Both sides involved in a very hot contest. This morning as we are counting. The ballot said that have already been cast, but the voting is far from done i the countdown thats going to be the herculean feat for a number of states as they try and get these numbers out as. Quickly as they can. But they do have their own legal processes that vary from state to state but yeah interesting and it was 2 different stories last night when we heard President Trump prematurely say that he had one. The battleground states and joe biden saying patients because as we said james, there are still. Our least hundreds of thousands of ballots yet to count. These are not new votes. These are not ballots that have just been found. But they were cast in many cases months ago, yeah, thats right. These were the early polls. Counts the mail in ballots that for some states had to wait until day of ballots were counted before they could then be process which is why its no surprise that for some states were still
213 the states. That are lightly shaded are the ones are still in question this morning and to the Vice President s point. It is a bit too early to call in fact we saw one of those states change color michigan earlier this morning which was leaning towards President Trump has now shifted is now leaning towards President Biden we could see other states shift as well one way or the other depending on the final vote and it will take a few days to get that process done were joined live this morning via zoom by Jason Mcdaniel a Political Science professor at San Francisco state university. To talk about this process, good morning. So everybody was urged to be patient and yet the president went on tv. Before midnight saying we need to stop counting. The votes now and im going to the Supreme Court now. What would go to the Supreme Court for at this point. At this point he wants to try to get any ballots that mailed ballots be counted some even that level arrive later, according to state laws,
