Gets a new multibillion dollar rescue package to boost its economy is england and is pandemic lock down measures. So then americans are waking up to another day of uncertainty over who will be the next president it is 6 am on the east coast and in the u. S. State of georgia these are live pictures from georgia where vote counting has been going on through the night its an extremely close race in the traditionally republican state Donald Trumps initial lead has steadily being chipped away by the democrats and georgia is one of several states where republicans are filing legal challenges over the election or lets assess the current state of play we can see from the electoral map that biden has already flits in michigan and wisconsin up there in the north donald trump narrowly won those states 4 years ago the democratic candidate joe biden now has a projected total of 264 Electoral College votes while dont trump hes projected to win 214 at this moment now remember a candidate needs 270 to win a. Overall and here in yellow you can see the state still being decided nevada here in the west and georgia down in the south of course North Carolina and pennsylvania in the north the Associated Press is projecting a win for biden in arizona but this has been disputed by the Truck Campaign and bidens lead in fact over trump has narrowed in recent hours in the battleground state thats worth a crucial 11 electoral votes and as i mentioned that county is still ongoing in georgia and trump leads by about 28000 votes but what might help joe biden here is that most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs which lean democratic and were expecting more data from there in the coming hours and North Carolina thats one of the states where trumps hands claim victory but the results are still too close to call here in this state mail in ballots postmarked by election day are accepted until november the 12th and were still waiting on pennsylvania thats the state where joe biden was born and trumps lead here again is shrinking and there are many mail ballots in mostly from democratic leaning cities philadelphia and pittsburgh giving biden a chance to catch up and pennsylvania is another state where donald trump has filed a lawsuit and finally his novato where joe biden is narrowly in the lead the Western State has 6 electoral votes and that right now would be enough to get joe biden to the key number of 270. For this hour alan fischer is monitoring developments from washington d. C. And jamal shell is in bidens home state of delaware but 1st lets hear from pedicle hayne as 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 the to 70 that will get him to the white house and now after a long night of county its clear that were one new 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 when 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 and 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 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 fools 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 who they surround themselves with so i i am not bad surprise 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. Aljazeera. Lets speak to the future he joins us from washington d. C. And alan here we have it razor thin margins litigation flying about arizona back in focus georgia getting increasingly tight. Viewing the state of play. Well clearly their view is that theyre going to go to the court thats an interesting thing to do theres going to be hard to argue though because in arizona where they are behind and theyre trying to make up the gap on joe biden the campaign is saying weve got to count every vote every ballot has to be counted and then you go over to pennsylvania and georgia and theyre saying look youre going to start counting the ballots no ballots some of the ballots we can include its a noise argument to make and theyre trying to make it into different parts of the country and a judge might well say whoa hold on a 2nd this doesnt make a great deal of sense so its a difficult balancing act that theyre performing at isnt as interesting for the Trump Campaign because the 70000 votes and it might a couple counties where theyre going to get a lot of votes counted in the next few hours but were still not expecting anything to come out of there before 10 pm time so thats a 16 hours from now so that makes things interesting interesting as well because the Associated Press and fox news one of Donald Trumps favorite cable channels have called out as the winner for the Biden Campaign they did that pretty early on and tuesday evening and apparently that cause real can stand in the Trump White House because the thought is the last arezzo which they won last time around and then their path to victory was going to be much more difficult when it comes to georgia theyre going to start continue counting their processing but 10000. 00 absentee ballots that doing about 3000. 00 an hour so we can expect something from them theres going to be a News Conference at 1030. 00 so in about 4 hours time we should expect possibly maybe a result from them about midday so thats in about 6 hours time and then of course. We have all the legal actions in pennsylvania and also in michigan sensually to use an american football term flooding the zone with legal action and theres a couple of reasons for that one can say and the way the currents going so they want to stop and they want to stay in the league where they can the other thing is if youre talking about legal action you move the narrative away from a joe Biden Victory possible problems with the administration of the election that there becomes a difficulty about how its being carried out and there might have been cheating there might have been fraud and so that then becomes the narrative and certainly something they dont want talked about on the campaign trail as talked about in a speech on tuesday night and its something that the campaign and they believe that ahead in pennsylvania they believe theyre going to win in arizona 9 and of course theyve already declared victory but itll be up to those states to declare which candidate wins and then hopefully by the end of thursday well have a much clearer picture and of course joe biden that close to becoming the next president of the United States thanks very much an official there in washington d. C. He. Is in bidens home state of delaware and joins us from wilmington and jamal said this flood of legal action from the Campaign Team of course knew it was coming how they respond to. Well they have been fund raising up until now with Party Supporters awesome for people to donate for them to be able to defend or to you know hold their own in the courts wherever that may be its something that they were very much aware of as you mentioned the narrative thats coming out of the by the campaign is. Basically focusing on 2 issues one has been to continue on throughout so in terms of protecting democracy making sure every single vote is counted making sure that those who participated in these historic elections in historic numbers as well have their voices heard thats one thing and then relates on wednesday nights when we started hearing or rather late in the day on wednesday early evening wednesday when we heard from a 2nd narrative has been now push which is one of trying to get the country to heel again trying to unite its and so forth and it is very much seen as a kind of president ial was seen as a president ial address from somebody whos kind of stopped short essentially declaring victory he was talking joe biden in that speech about the need for americans to come together and to heal off to these elections it would appear that the biden camp is extremely confident as we heard from them that they have won this election all they want to do is wait to demonstrate. Or maybe to juxtapose their position of the president that they are respecting the will and the rights of the American People to participate in these elections and theyre pretty sure once ordnance done and dusted theyll get there and when were looking at the numbers they have an hour to 64. 00 essentially all it takes is one of the states to be announced and thats going to send them to the white house so as far as the waiting game is concerned when youre putting about comparing it to the possible legal action yes there may be legal action and so its in states but even with the legal action taking place they think that there will be enough in the other results coming through to get them across the line. Well thanks for that marcel there in wilmington delaware. Well thats the result of the balance is there have been protests in cities across the country in arizona Trump Supporters they gathered outside a Vote Counting Center block to the entrance to the Building Service from both parties were inside is the votes were being counted and also protests in washington near the white house protest march demanding that every vote is counted some activists carried signs reading the world is watching. And hundreds marched through central chicago again calling for all votes to be included they also highlighted issues that have flared up during trumps presidency including Police Brutality racism and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic well those issues are also highlighted it protests in new york Gabriel Elizondo was the. Protests on the streets of new york city here in the heart of times square these people are protesting what they say is Voter Suppression in america against black people this is just one of multiple protests there were in new york city earlier in the evening thousands of people took to the streets in midtown they walked a more than 30 blocks and they were chanting count every ballot every vote counts they were people who really showed some anger that the election was even being called into question by the president and they said that they had to get out to the streets because they felt it was their civic duty to make their voices heard that the all the votes of everybody are counted call people into the streets call strikes call actually shut this place down im here because i want to join my voice to the thousands of others the mandate that every vote be counted by luck its a democracy and everybody should happen boys. Are on the ballot in their ballots are wondering whether theyre going to be counted we know new york is going. To others in the swing states will be counted if drama has its way. And the only way to stop an attempt like the one drama suggesting he would like to. Is by having lots of people out in the streets peacefully demanding our rights protesters here say theyre prepared to come back out to the streets in the coming days if every vote is not counted. Still ahead here announced there are images of possible more crimes and not just the battle over the disputed turchin were going to come back and image.
