A recount in wisconsin and files lawsuits another key state says his path to victory now is. Trying to supporters converge on Voting Centers in michigan and in arizona calling for the counting of postal ballots to be suspended. 900 g. M. T. 34 am i should say in the United States state of georgia one of several battleground states where the result of choose days president ial election remains in the balance now to get these live pictures from atlanta thats a georgias capital city vote counters hard at work counting still ongoing its an extremely close race in the traditionally republican state Donald Trumps initial lead has been steadily dwindling the u. S. President has repeated unsubstantiated claims that there were major problems with voting and ballot county georgia is one of several states where republicans are fighting legal challenges over the election. County goes on lets look at the map the electoral map and see how things are balance at the moment and biden remember remember has already flipped michigan and wisconsin up in the north and thats areas that donald trump narrowly won 4 years ago the democratic candidate now has a project a total of 264 Electoral College votes while dole trump he has 214 as we stand and remember the magic number to become president is 270 and here in yellow you can see the states that are still in play nevada in the west georgia in the south North Carolina and pennsylvania now the Associated Press is projecting a win has projected a win some time ago actually for biden in arizona this is being disputed by donald trump and bidens lead has in fact been narrowing in recent hours and remember the battleground state here is worth a crucial 11 Electoral College votes were also still waiting on pennsylvania this is the state where joe biden was born and trumps need here is shrinking and the remaining male ballots mostly from democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh and that gives biden a chance to catch up in pennsylvania is another state where donald trump has filed a lawsuit and now its have a look at nevada nevada is where biden is naturally in the lead and the Western State has 6 electoral votes and that would be enough as it stands if you get joe biden to that magic number of 270 all right we have teams in place across the United States our White House Correspondent can be how it is in washington d. C. Right reynolds standing by to talk all things nevada and mike hanna is in joe bidens home state of delaware but 1st lets hear from particular heinous she wraps up developments so far. Former Vice President joe biden projecting confidence he will be the next president and he may have taken a step closer he sociate a press declaring hes won the states of wisconsin and michigan giving him more Electoral College votes and an easier path to that you 70 that will get him to the white house and now after a long night of county its clear that where one knew enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency im not here to clear that weve won but i am here to report to the count is finished we believe we will be the winners but u. S. President donald trump is demanding a recount in wisconsin after falling short by around 20000 votes even his most ardent supporters doubt that will change anything former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker tweeting out a recount in 2016 trumps numbers went up by 131 and the counting continues in the states that will decide the election with state officials asking for patience give the Public Servants the opportunity to do their job and what i will tell you is that karen pennsylvania were going to follow the law and we will respect the will of the people and the crop her victory will be certified based on who got more votes the president is suing to stop the counting in some states his surrogates saying falsely that the election is being stolen to win for a republican to win here how many votes do we have to be at 400000 is not enough with 80 plus percent counted i think theres only 14 percent of the vote to go. If you think were stupid you think were false the president is complaining on twitter theyre finding biden votes all over the place in pennsylvania wisconsin and michigan so bad for country to be clear theyre not finding ballots but counting ones that come in on time according to state laws and there is a question about whether the Postal Service run by a trump loyalist interfered in getting ballots delivered on time define a federal judges order tuesday to do a sweep for ballots they refused potentially leaving hundreds of thousands not counted the one thing this election has clearly shown america is a nation divided it really does seem like people live in 2 different realities given like the news they consume and with a surround themselves with so i am not that surprised that a lot of people decided to vote again for a president who has brought us to where we are with several cases winding their way through the courts as the votes are counted and america and the world waits to see who eked out a win in this fractured country patty calling out 04 lets go to more of the situation with our White House Correspondent can be how could use what youll be watching unfold from a washington and secondly the republicans have all these lawsuits going on but the main hopes will be pinned on whats you know vote counts in pennsylvania or in georgia and in arizona now it turns out its ours and has come back into focus is not. Yes and to be cleared the trumpet ministration or i should say the trunk campaign has always felt that the state of arizona was in play but heres what happened as the votes were being counted very early on in the evening one of the president s favorite News Networks fox news called arizona for joe biden the us president was enraged by this but the republicans continued to insist that it was too early to make this call even though we should also point out the Associated Press has done so as well and that would include al jazeera as we are following those results but there are many in the United States that believe this is just simply a very tight race well some of the vote telling that has been done in the last couple of hours does seem to indicate that this may still be a state in play what we know is that in the county of Maricopa County this is a county that was making headlines just a few hours ago for some of the protests that were going on trumps supporters agitating if you will some of the poll workers as they leave the vote counting the shouting in support of the president 6 cetera what we know now though as you reported is that the lead that joe biden has there in arizona has narrowed and it is notable that this is happening this is exactly what the president was hoping would happen believe would happen so some networks here in the United States are still saying that this state of arizona is too close to call so this is encouraging for the president he has insisted and in fact hes been working the phones all day we understand as of wednesday he has no Public Events on his schedule for thursday or e. Suspect he will continue to do this hes launched a spate of lawsuits and is even now eyeing air. Arizona as well as another potential one of the state of the list as he continues to focus on winning so the bottom line is there is still a route to victory for both men is it possible do you think to say that the route is more favorable for one or the other yes it still is favoring joe biden and one of the developments that weve had will donald trump was feeling very optimistic about the u. S. State of georgia and most believe that there is no path to victory for donald trump without the u. S. State of georgia well the news may be encouraging arizona its gotten worse for the president in georgia again too close to call still there doing counting but in that case the lead for joe biden has actually increased not decreased. Sorry no i said that wrong the lead for donald trump has narrowed. Yet now that youve got a lot of 1st place i dont think anybody has increased not did i say ok. Its been a long night yeah every race thank you right but the bottom line is is that things still look more favorable for joe biden but Donald Trumps a fighter and he doesnt give up and hell go down swinging and he is still looking for a path to victory yet still some way to go completely timing thanks very much well trumps claims of a tea regularities have sparked protests by his supporters in arizona and in other places and a group of pro trump demonstrators they have gathered outside to keep counting center in phoenix and the states allows people to openly carry guns and some of the protestors were armed police but the entrance to the building in observers from both parties are inside as the vote something counted. Rob lets speak to remains now whos live for us from los suns is a rope another states that sin to talk about of course is nevada. Votto is a potential key to victory for joe biden its way one of the. Several roads through to 7270 electoral votes but the state is too close to call now and there has been precious Little Information given out by the electoral authorities in nevada sort of much to the frustration not only of the politicians involved but also the news media which is waiting on the counts from the area around las vegas is by far the biggest city in and it tends to lean democratic now right at the moment joe biden is on is is on top in nevada he has a narrow lead less than 8000 votes but there are tens of thousands of votes that are being counted as we speak many of them are from that urban center of los vegas which tends to lean democratic and these are mostly the these are all the exclusively i should say the mail in and absentee and provisional ballots many of which have been shown in this election cycle to also favor the democratic candidate so the county authorities in that part of nevada promise that they will be releasing more results on thursday in the morning so well have to see then how much they released whether that is going to be a definitive answer as to who with will carry nevada whether nevada can be called by analysts and News Agencies or whether well have to wait even longer for the for the verdict on this state which has 6 electoral votes are up thanks a lot rob reynolds that reporting from listen. Liz lets speak to mike hanna whos in joe bidens home state of delaware and joins us from wilmington so mike weve been hearing about the legal challenges that Donald TrumpsCampaign Team have been filing tell us about those the team is responding well the vote in team has been preparing for this for weeks if not months strangely enough bidens legal head bob bauer who is a counsel in the Obama White House was just saying a few days ago before the election that the trumpet ministration and its lawyers had made very clear d what their tactics were going to be they had been saying for weeks that they were going to dispute any elections that they filter were going against their favor or any vote counting their words going against their favor so the biden lawyers had a lot of time to prepare and bob barr said what is called a boiler room this is a collection of lawyers who have been preparing for precisely what has been happening in the past day and that is they go out to various states and various counties where the campaign or local state Campaign Organizers are bringing cases to bear against judges and in courts and they contest the aim and say the lawyers is to ensure that every vote is counted theyre not out there looking for legal fights they out there because of the cases being brought by trump the Campaign People and by as i say by trump organizations in the various states but certainly they very well prepared for precisely this eventuality. Mike thanks very much for the picture in delaware mike hanna reporting thank you.

When corona virus struck america care homes for the elderly became ground 0 they cut corners things dont get done and people die as a result full klines reveals how a troubled industry imploded under the weight of the pandemic we put profit above patient care.

That again youre watching out 0 mind about top stories and the race to the white house is going down to the wire to flipping which going in wisconsin joe biden now has a projected total of 264 Electoral College rate and donald trump has 214. 00 and it takes 270. 00 to win the election. The u. S. President has repeated unsubstantiated claims that there were major problems with voting and ballot counting georgia is one of several states where republicans are fighting legal challenges over the election. Trying to claims of voter irregularities has sparked protests in arizona and other places the Police Officers in phoenix could be seen preparing inside a counting center as supporters of donald trump gathered outside. Let us speak now is a political analysts and the author of the gulp civil war inside the battle for the soul of the Republican Party joins us now from washington d. C. Eric good to see that. Razor thin margins litigation flying about arizona back into focus and tightening its all happening give us your broad picture of where you think were at well this is election in america were seeing a very tight race and one of the reasons for this is this is a course of a very divided nation if you look at just the wrong numbers were looking at only about 3000000. 00 votes splitting President Donald Trump from joe biden and so thats where the nation is right now and of course it will come down likely to just a small number of states to determine the outcome of this election this very well talk could go to the court to decide but again the voting is slow going and much of the outcome will be determined perhaps by the battleground state of pennsylvania but also the southwest state of arizona could also decide who becomes the next commander in chief yeah and were watching those figures all very closely talk about litigation about lawsuits and so forth than adults from Campaign Team has been fighting them left right and center joe bidens team also assembled to defend them how does that process can and how quickly could any decisions in court be put into place. You know its interesting because one of big big key arguments that we have heard from President Donald Trump as well as from Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell the route this Campaign Cycle is their ability to stack the courts with more than 200. 00 federal judges and so now that the courts have been stacked with many of these appointees by the president down with trouble President Donald Trump is looking for many of these judges to provide an opening for him and so while right now based on the lawsuits that we see filed there are no specific claims about why these votes and particularly why the boat should not be counted in places like pennsylvania or michigan. Or why there are allegations of fraud because what we see is there is no specific allegation or claim that the Trump Campaign has been able to make so these are specious claims and it will be interesting to see in fact how the court actually rules or if the court even decides to take many of these cases the right democrats may yet make it joe biden may yet get the presidency but they really scrambling in the slightest of margins on that theyre really going to have to do some navel gazing and reassess where theyre outs and whatever happens trump is head of state has none. Oh absolutely it is i mean when you look at what President Donald Trum
