With the tallying a vote still ongoing trump threatens to go to the Supremes Court to try to stop the counting biden has threatened counter legal action. And ethiopias Prime Minister declared a state of emergency in tikrit region following a deadly attack on a military base that. On the race to the white house has become incredibly tight hours after the polls closed no candidate has yet secured enough Electoral College votes to win but that hasnt stopped both candidates being confident of victory despite millions of votes still uncounted donald trump has even threatened to go to the Supreme Court something that bidens team says they are ready to challenge the total vote count could still take days. Well this is our team of reporters on the ground the salad rob reynolds as monitoring developments from Los Angeles Alison bidens home state that away and allan fisheye is in washington d. C. For us but fast also in jordan takes a look at how this night unfolded. Shortly after 2 am on wednesday President Donald Trump told his supporters and the nation that democrats were trying to steal his election day victory and trump said he was suing to hold on to the oval office so well be going to the u. S. Supreme court we want all voting to stand but with the vote count still unfinished in at least 10 states trumps claim a victory was dubious earlier in the night trumps democratic rival joe biden urged his supporters to as he put it keep the faith i heard terry a night we believe were on track to win this election. We were because of the odd pressure down early voting a mail in vote thats going to take a while were going to have to be patient until weigh on the hard work of tally of votes is finished its long been Standard Practice in u. S. Elections to count all the ballots no matter how many days it takes this year the delay is considerable given the more than 100000000 ballots being cast weeks ahead of time as well as the millions of votes cast on election day swing states such as michigan and georgia announced late on tuesday that they would resume counting on wednesday morning and at least one swing state pennsylvania said it might not be done until friday that states governor pushed back against President Donald Trumps accusations that counting ballots after election day is illegal we may not know the results today as a result but i encourage all of us to. Take a deep breath in and saying just be patient which most important that we hear is that we have accurate results and that every vote is counted even if it takes a little longer for news organizations had biden ahead with more than 200 Electoral College votes but the winning candidate needs 270 to be declared the winner is that likely wont happen before wednesday at the earliest roselyn jordan aljazeera. As weve mentioned its a very tight race indeed come on santa maria takes a look at where all the states stand this is the state of the race 238. 00 to joe biden 213 to donald trump its very tight its very close and even though clearly joe biden has a lead and is closer to 270. 00 than his rival there are paths for both candidates at this point because there are 5 states left and were going to run you through them all too close to call at this stage 10 Electoral College votes in wisconsin part of the socalled blue belts of course which donald trump picked up 4 years ago that includes pennsylvania 20 Electoral College votes which would be vital for either candidate to pick up the presidency at the end of well whichever date ends up being were also looking at michigan in that part of the country with its 16 Electoral College votes completing the blue belt there important probably more for joe biden at this stage than it is for donald trump there are 2 other states to think about and that is North Carolina with 15 Electoral College votes and also the state of georgia. With that 16 votes Southern States donald trump would be eyeing those ones up to try to get him over the line with some extra pick ups along the way that might include nevada with 6 Electoral College votes which we would expect to go blue but then you can always expect the unexpected county so a final look at the state of the race 2382213 those states in yellow the ones that are left the swing states the battleground states the states which will ultimately decide this 2020 election correspondent alan fischer is in washington d. C. For us and taking a look at commands breakdown there so much of the blue wave that so Many Democrats were hoping for but there are still a number of paths to victory despite President Trump insisting hes going to try to actually stop the counting. Exactly i mean for weeks weve been seeing there would be a result on Election Night repeat after me there would be a result on Election Night and suddenly everyone is running around saying there is not a result of Election Night we knew this was going to happen everyone just needs to come down for a little bit certainly the pollsters got it wrong but not just those who are reporting to the media and putting out in public what the are finding a lot of internal polling was wrong as well because the democrats were being told from what they were doing privately that there was the possibility of this blue wave the ga was definitely in play that there could be could flip texas a little less confident in that and the Big Questions for the democrats after this election such as where did all the money go they raised millions and millions of dollars poured a lot of enter florida and made no impact whatsoever same in a couple of other states as well such as georgia theres also questions about some of the senate races in the money spent there but well put that to the side for the moment certainly dont all trump coming out and saying hes won the election that is unprecedented because there are still results to come were watching particularly at the great lakes states so there michigan and wisconsin those 2 could put joe biden over the top give him 270 and put it into the white house when donald trump says hes going to go to the Supreme Court 1st of all thats not how it works you petition a lower court and then the Supreme Court decides whether or not who wants to take your case at the 2nd thing is he hasnt outlined any groans and what she would go to the Supreme Court hes been talking about this for weeks that he might possibly challenge the result in the courts he has talked about how the result would be stolen from a few laws and how you would go to the court a lot of people said thats what he wanted 9 Supreme Court justices remember just in the last week or so hes confronted new Supreme Court justice so all of that up into this as well but the reality is what mike pence said theyre still counting going on and people need to be patient and so theyre still going to be a few hours theyve got to walk through this process. Americas a big country youre talking 320000000 voters the idea that you should expect results immediately is probably slightly misguided but theres another lesson to learn from this and i think those who are coming out and seeing all republicans should condemn donald trump for what he said you know this is anti democracy this is really not how things work they havent been watching for the last 12 hours people were telling is that this election would be a repudiation of trump ism it would be pushed to the side it was just a brief aberration in american politics thats simply not the case trump is amiss here and its here to stay but the idea that you declare victory before all the results are in but one democratic operative said to me its like me saying im the king of romania and then expecting you to treat me like the king of romania you dont declare the victory of a Football Game after 60 minutes if you you wait to the end and thats what donald trump and joe biden have to do and hopefully by the end of today we might have an idea who has won the building behind me the white house. There for us in washington d. C. Pleading with the outpatients thanks so much allen well let us now live to delaware. And get the view from there. For us jamal there must be some disappointment air after what all the polls had previously seemed to promise. In the start the idea of a lot of the supporters of the road by them. Coming into the election was that this was going to be not necessarily a done and thus the deal by now but at least they would be in a stronger position than they are and now that being said they are still somewhat confident that there is the path to the white house that there is still hope that they will be able to get their man there particularly when were looking at those. Key states that allen was talking about when were looking at michigan and were looking at wisconsin the former being a more likely one up by then can we. Really considering that the votes that are still being counted mainly are coming from the. City that would be a lot more leaning towards the democrats and therefore gives him a stronger. But aside from that this has come out from the by being one of disgust. Has said this statement from the biden camp read out that it was outrageous. Claim victory early on they called it. For it to take away the democratic right of the American People the fact that votes. Being counted and this actually really does. Is consistent with the messaging that has come out from biden. Particularly in the past 40 hours where they were saying that this vote wasnt just an election for president but also it was. They believe has been eroded by. Policies so theyre very much anger and by the attempts by the president to try and dismiss what is. Going on in terms of the votes. Of the. Towards this and theyre saying every vote must count so i think when you look at the fact that so many votes. As well as early votes when were looking at the circumstances in terms of the pandemic and Everything Else there is a belief that this is going to be a longer than usual process and everybody must have their voices heard and they believe everyone has had their voice heard that there is a strong. Joe biden will in the white house. Remains very much on. Well lets not speak to rob reynolds hes in Los Angeles California the state but the biggest number of electoral votes rob i want to start with the last big official call for biden arizona and does seem that we could be waiting for results from the rest of the blue wall states for a while so how significant is arizona talk us through that. Well you know the Biden Campaign and the Democratic Party had planned or had hoped i should say to turn a number of previously republican states including texas to the democratic column they failed in that but they succeeded in arizona so this is certainly a bright spot for the democratic efforts during this seemingly Endless Campaign season they did it by mobilizing suburban voters women the large lead teano population of the state of arizona and the large native American Population there the Biden Campaign made overtures to all of these groups and there are also certain demographic. Forces at work for example phoenix arizona is one of the Fastest Growing metropolises in the United States of people have come from elsewhere and brought their own brand of politics with them to arizona but nevertheless its quite a its an its an achievement in when you consider that since it became a state in 1912 arizona has voted in the president ial contest for the democratic candidate only twice in the 1948 with harry truman in 1906 with bill. Yes bill clinton sorry its been kind of a long day but. Leaving arizona aside for a moment were also watching the situation in nevada where joe bidens once Comfortable Lead has shrunk considerably by last count he was leading by only about 7000 votes after a big trounce of votes was. Released and tabulated in clark county. Thats las vegas thats the Population Center of nevada so now the folks in nevada who count the ballots are taking a break theyre going to can resume the counting later in the morning several hours from now and right now in the city all around the United States beginning from the east and moving to the west americans are waking up to this state of president ial limbo after the law and rancorous and Bitter Campaign they are now faced with the possibility of many more hours even days without knowing exactly who is one and with all of the. Potential that exists for on the rest for potential demonstrations confrontations between different groups of political adherence and certainly no one wants to see that but its potentially in the cards especially after president statement that he won and the democrats are trying to steal it from him and setting it up and i said to continue for some time rob reynolds after a very long night thanks so much rob. And now that big state that the democrats hope to fill it is florida but like texas if i said donald trump and you got a guy is in miami with. When you look at where im standing now this is Miami Dade County and you look at how biden did among the latino vote here and it was extremely poor when you compare it to how Hillary Clinton did with the same Community Back in 2016 it seems to me 5 that the president s push to paint joe biden as a socialist works we already knew that about a 1000000 of the cuban americans that lived in a city like this in miami would likely vote republican but it seems like a lot of latino and hispanic voters who didnt vote for trump last time did so this time now the margin by which trump won this state was still pretty slim in 2016 he won by about 112000 votes its about 350000 this time around but the picture is very clear. This was a state that trump needed to keep to keep is the hopes alive in this president ial election to get another 4 years in the white house 29 electoral call of College Votes really do matter for the president well minnesota has been at the center of protests of a Racial Injustice since the killing of george floyd while in Police Custody back in may how correspondent is there with reaction from minneapolis versus. We spent part of election evening here at the george floyd memorial as you can hear there was music some dancing food and Al Jazeera English projected on a screen many of the young voters we spoke to say they voted for biden but only because they no longer want President Donald Trump in office they dont believe that biden will do much to address concerns over Police Brutality in advance of racial equality in this country minnesota has been a democratic reliable democratic source of support for almost 50 years but trump has been hoping to grab those 10 Electoral College votes he lost the state in 2016 by less than 45000 votes he used that as a missed opportunity and campaigned aggressively in the state wallpaper the airwaves with his advertising the republican partys strategy was to minimize losses in the progressive cities of st paul and minneapolis as well as the suburbs and to drive up voting really trying to get out the vote in the more whirl White Conservative parts of the state you have 70 percent of the population of minnesota living in urban areas 30 percent of the population living in the more conservative homogeneous areas of the state there were many voters that those who were sympathetic to the largest protest movement in his to respond by the death of george floyd while in Minneapolis Police department custody were concerned about the violence and the looting that they saw in minneapolis and trumps law and order message resonated with many of the voters that we spoke to when we went into rural minnesota one thing is certain expect minnesotans to be extremely in gage when it comes to voting in the last election more than 74 percent of eligible voters turned out to vote it was the highest in the country well richard painter is the former chief ethics lawyer for president george w. Bush and he says its dangerous for President Trump to try to claim victory while so many votes a still being counted. President trump cannot stop the book counting the vote counting is determined under state law and many of these states including pennsylvania provided that the boat should be counted at least up to. The votes that are received in the mail and ballots they also have not counted all of the votes that were cast today in the United States is in most representative democracies after we vote we count every single vote and the president no no nobody else can go to court and simply stop the counting of the votes when it comes to recounts and how many recounts you have up yes there can be some legal questions as we had with bush versus gore in 2 counts and about how many recounts a
