Legal actions claiming voter fraud is trying to stop the vote in 3 states. Frustration spilling out onto the streets in new york and trump protesters demanding every vote be counted. In other cities like here in seattle a similar story. In portland a sign that many here have had enough of u. S. Politics all together. But in phoenix arizona pro Trump Supporters make their voices heard outside an election center. This is a country divided. I believe personally as a republican that trump won in a landslide but because of culbut and the ballots that 300000 ballots overnight were found in every city in the swing states were by then im just overwhelmed i am so stressed out yesterday it was like you know in society but today this morning i broke down and cried because of the possibility that trent might be in office again. Across several states vote all still being counted the majority of them have been sent in by post and in this election costing a vote by mail has been favored by Many Democrats every vote must be counted i know its going to take our democracy away from us not now not ever. America has come too far americas far too many battles americans under too much never let that happen. But republicans 7 claim these parties to invite some amount to electoral for a want with donald trump accusing democrats of trying to steal the election. Trumps top lawyer is promising legal action against bush if the bulls. Democrats do because do. You. Call deplorable and chumps. Were going to stick with this were going to win this election with. Just a matter of counting the votes. It may come down to the courts to decide who wins this election the closest full battle for the white house in 20 years. Here is a closer look now at states that have not yet been called the latest figures show joe biden with stu 164 Electoral College votes President Trump has 214 lets go through the states will start in arizona votes are still being counted there but the Associated Press which is our main source of election data has called that state for joe biden the other major news outlets have not called it yet 11 Electoral College votes are up for grabs in arizona joe biden currently has a slim lead in the state of nevada the state carries 6 Electoral College votes this is also the state with the largest number of uncounted votes tonight. In the u. S. South the state of georgia 16 electoral votes are on the table there trump is in the lead but that lead has narrowed in the Trump Campaign has filed a lawsuit alleging that ineligible late absentee ballots may have been added to the vote kail pennsylvania is the biggest prize still up for grabs with 20 Electoral College votes donald trump currently holds a narrow lead but the remaining mail in ballots are expected to favor the democrats so with votes still being counted Donald Trumps path to victory that path has narrowed states in red or blue have been called by the Associated Press for trump or biden as you see there states in lighter blue or peak are leaning towards fighting or trump respectively are those going to update from washington now with my colleague a series of misconduct she is following the vote count gores going to be to you soon we so lets go through these states starting with nevada we could we understand there could be an overall result there maybe tomorrow evening whats the situation what are you hearing. Brant what were hearing is that the vote is very close right now and it could really be a decisive factor in this election there are 6 Electoral College votes up for grabs in the state which could be really important as i said and decisive here now a county election official has been speaking to the media and he said that they will update results tomorrow or there early afternoon there was some disappointment brant because some people had hoped that we might find out more definitive results from nevada today but the reason for that is of processing lots of mail in ballots and to add to that you can actually in the state of nevada can actually receive these ballots all the way until next week and legally according to state rules they would have to be counted as well it could be a very small number of ballots were talking about it might not be decisive but still so much as hanging in the balance now as they stands right now joe bidens leaders are at around 11000. 00 voigt votes and Election Officials in the state say that all of those ballots that were cast in person on election day theyve been tallied so what were waiting for is those mail and ballots and they have been leaning as we heard in the report to the democrats so joe biden seems very hopeful that nevada could go their way but its too soon to say friends if we go from the west to the east. The state did georgia the margin of victory is going to be razor thin there we understood how surprising is that is. Its really surprising but i mean you know the last time georgia voted for a democrat was for bill clinton in 1902 thats a long time ago this is a republican stronghold and its been so for many years and right now President Trump is ahead by just around 14000 votes but that margin has been shrinking you know there are less than 60000 votes left to count there and a good number of those are coming from Fulton County where atlanta is located have only favor for the democrats and you know atlanta really grant is an example of whats been driving change in short georgia i mean of these big urban areas with the surrounding suburbs that are home to immigrant populations young latinos people have been moving in from other states perhaps up north and thats been turning patches of of georgias map blue in a state that was otherwise you know a sea of red and now it is a battleground state at least this year it is and thats a new political reality for both parties and of course you have people in the question around the world still wondering when will we have a final result that still remains open beer tonight. In washington some use always thank you. From washington d. C. Now to the great city of philadelphia this would be w. s chiffon simons is joining us he is in front of the Convention Center where the ballots for the entire state of pennsylvania are now being counted stefan i understand you are not alone there tell us whats going on. Yeah well a little bit my of history or for me here less numbers here the pennsylvania Convention Center this is where the counting happens full philadelphia for all those votes the Time Campaign expresses various says does not want to have counted anymore and the crowd here one staff counted let me take you with you a little bit here you see on this side there this is the crawl count every vote crowd to dancing it off so to speak and now switch change to the other side. Will try and come out smaller now that was a big get out there were 5060 people earlier today now its just like a stalled ward so to speak now we had a chance to talk to a few people here lets listen in what they have to say im here because donald trump has been fighting for 4 years to keep the democrats from stealing the election both 2015 they try to steal 2016 and they try to theyre feeling 2020 as we speak right now i live in north philadelphia i voted for donald trump i do not understand why the ballots are still flooding in dave after november 3rd if it if the ballot didnt show up november 3rd then it does not count very well. By the democrats. Theres no evidence that theres any voting fraud. I mean im sorry that they feel a bit surprised by their legal rights back in boaters and still voting to post their ballots and theres nothing project about that. Stuff and its fascinating hearing what these people say if theyre standing side by side in front of the place where the ballots are being counted that we do the. People do they do they speak to each other is there any type of interaction going on. Not so much i guess why. Did i let you see all those cops there those police here theres also a lot of police here and Still Closing mixing with the crowd and theyre making sure that actually that dancers hear the pro count all the votes crowd and the trumpets are the trump followers supporters are not coming too close there are interactions here and there but most of it is basically yelling at each other from wherever perspectives you come from and to fund to you know perhaps when we can expect a result of final result for pennsylvania because we know that it is the most important battleground state with the most electoral votes up for grabs. Right so the secretary of state of pennsylvania has reportedly come out to say that she is hopeful that we actually get the votes count the final vote count from philadelphia bucks county and so on this is a district the suburbs around philadelphia by tonight local time here now caution caution caution she said hold it probably will be tomorrow some point tomorrow that we get the final vote count here and that is and that is if the champ administration does not come up with some other legal maneuver to halt this or delay this what have you so maybe today maybe tomorrow best i can give you know a world thats as good as we are getting today chiffons imans in philadelphia there right between the trial and the biden supporters to fund thank you. Will states in the United States have until december 18th to deliver their results which is supposed to guarantee that all votes are counted now that day is called safe harbor day because in the state results delivered afterwards well they can be challenged the last time this happened was 20 years ago in an election that was ultimately decided by the u. S. Supreme court. November 2000 republican president ial candidate george w. Bush seems to win florida but the results are so close that the rules demand a recount the whole election hangs in the balance democratic candidate al gore request a manual recount in certain counties. Recounting by hand took a long time a legal battle slowed vote counting down and the state overshot the safe harbor date december 8th this allowed the Bush Campaign to ask the Supreme Court to stop a new statewide recount which it did bush was declared the winner by a margin of just a few 100 votes. Fast forward to this november another election without an immediate result the established law in some states is that counting early and mail in ballots can only start on election day and this year the corona pandemic meant millions of people voted that way counting all these ballots takes guess what a long time. We dont know how long yet but that december 8th safe harbor deadline is starting to become visible on the horizon. President trump has already said he intends to use lawsuits to slow down or stop state counts which could push them past the safe harbor date and make them vulnerable to challenges his 1st comments after polls close pointed towards vegas he falsely said counting votes after election day was illegal. We were getting ready to win this election frankly we did win this election. Is a major for whatever nation we want the load to be used in a proper manner so well be going to the u. S. Supreme court his democratic opponent joe biden had been expecting this and tried to take the wind out of trumps sails. Because of the on pressure down early vote in the mail in vote is going to take a while were going to have to be patient until the hard work of talent votes is printed. If under cleared states miss the safe harbor date while theres still no overall result the u. S. Congress and Supreme Court could get involved bringing back memories of the bitterly divided 2000 contest. Barred from war now we want to bring in mary ziegler shes a professor of law at Florida StateUniversity Professor zieglers good to see you again we meet on. Terms that we didnt expect its just a couple of weeks ago we got the u. S. President mel threat me a number of legal challenges if the vote does not go his way does he have a legal basis to stand on when hes making these these claims. No i mean he has no legal basis to stand on. Not even remotely these cases are getting kind of laughed out of the courts they have been all day i dont even know if this is intended really to be a serious legal move or if these lawsuits are instead just intended to tell the dealership and why is the election in the eyes of his supporters there are even reports that trump is considering running again in 2024 and these lawsuits might be more an appeal to the g. O. P. Base they certainly arent any appeal to the Supreme Court we know that the u. S. President has said that he would like to see this go to the Supreme Court but if we talk about the situation in the year 2000 were talking about one state the state of florida what what the president is talking about now involves many states does that make it more or less likely to go to the Supreme Court. Harder less likely so really the only scenario in which the Supreme Court can hand donald trump the election would be if the election came down to one state and if that state was very close and most likely in this case it would be in a state that was very close that was allowing votes to come in after election day and essentially where there had been accommodations for coping 19 Donald Trumps problem as you can gather from his response has been that he needs phones to continue being counted in some states to stop being counted in other states and hes simply behind in too many states and potentially what will be the deciding state of pennsylvania hes losing pretty badly but hes not losing yet but it looks poised to win this badly just counting the votes that were received on election day if the votes are that he sheets to make up or spread out across states theres no kind of single vehicle for the Supreme Court to intervene as there was in but if youre president im going to bow out 30 seconds let me ask you for all were International Viewers donald trump he could you as you mentioned legally run again for president in the year 2024 right. He could and that seems to be something hes already falling over ok but we will see what happens there is that internecine politics between now in 2024 professor mary ziegler as always professor we appreciate your insights tonight thank you. Thanks for having me. Mexico and the outcome of the u. S. President ial election there is a connection here u. S. President donald trump was elected on a promise to build a wall along the border with mexico that has not happened trump called mexican immigrants rapists and criminals during his campaign back in 2016 understandably many mexicans are now pinning their hopes on a joe biden victory. Yari thinks about her family all the time she has been worried about them ever since the u. S. Election yari lives in mexico city but her siblings and parents are in the u. S. Theres going to be riots you know if this is happening keep taking on my family to see how theyre doing. Theyve been separated for 9 years she finds mexico city too loud in too dirty and she misses los angeles the city she grew up in your he was only 5 when her family left mexico for the u. S. Without papers she is one of the hundreds of thousands of people to whom joe biden offers hope he has pledged to grant u. S. Citizenship to dreamers people who came to the u. S. As minors. I hope so. Her story is a little bit different afraid of deportation yari returned to mexico 9 years ago she hoped to visit the u. S. Often but getting a visa to see her family is almost impossible to do training keep in touch as much as we can but sometimes just easier not to just because its too painful. Of course shes been supporting biden and his plans for Immigration ReformElection Night is nerve wracking for her. And i think mom are you following the vote. Garys mother lives in chicago is undocumented and fears for her future if donald trump wins her brother only has a temporary residence permit. After the live out of concern that they will take away miguels residency status. Like her thousands of mexicans are worried but politicians on this side of the border have come to terms with donald trump mexico is economically dependent on its neighbor a large part of its exports go to the u. S. The mexican president s response to the election reflect that noise im satisfied that it has not had an effect on our economy as i understand it as you know. For yari her future is at stake if biden wins the presidency she hopes shell be able to reunite with her family are fighting for an open border and we dont want to move back when they think in the nights in the United States but we want the possibility to travel back and forth. But yari doesnt want to stay in mexico city asked where she sees herself in 10 years time she admits shes dreaming of los angeles its away from the u. S. Election the United States has registered almost 100000 cope with 19 cases in the last 24 hours that is a new record infections hav
