Counts continue across the country. Demonstrators were out Holding Signs in major cities including vegas, philadelphia, new york and here in the bay, San Francisco oakland and san jose among others. Thank you for being with us on this night after election day, im grant lotus hand im okay with kuz yeah its been more than 24 hours since the polls closed across the country in. Theres still no winner. Releasing the president ial race. So heres where the electoral vote stands as of right now out of the 270 needed to win President Trump has 214 joe biden has 264. This means that biden needs to win one more state to get 270. All right well here is where things look right now on the big board the big map vicki weve been looking at this rate for too feels to 64 for biden to 14 for trump, the goal obviously who can get to 2 71st the path is much easier for biden when nevada right here and the 6 Electoral College votes that you have in nevada and all the sudden. It is victory time joe biden right now with a 49 of the vote. But the real key number here. Is 5. 88 588,000 votes and change to 5. 80 so about an 8,000 vote lead for biden and you see down here 75 of the vote has been counted no update from nevada today. They plan to update folks at 10 00am tomorrow. All eyes will be on nevada that is if georgia doesnt have big news first you say georgia, yeah, well they have been counting absentee ballots like gangbusters last night at midnight donald trump had a 372,000 vote lead over joe biden that led keeps shrinking and right now team trump is clinging to this lead you see 2 million 428 thousand and 2 million 400 and 3 25,000 votes now separate the 2 98 of the vote has been counted. But with 16 Electoral College votes at stake. If biden were to somehow continue his trend and come back and eclipse trump george would obviously give biden the victory as well, pennsylvania is another key state that everybodys been talking about they only started counting votes. Yesterday and you see that would complete the blue wall right here is pennsylvania where to go blue you have wisconsin and michigan which are partners here with the Associated Press called for biden today, pennsylvania is a state or trumps lead is shrinking just like in georgia 20 Electoral College votes in pa, and donald trump right now has a lead, but it is dwindling 50 of the vote you see here to bidens 48 . So team trump needs Pennsylvania Team trump needs georgia and team trump is trying to get arizona to flip the a p called arizona for biden last night but as more votes are counted there. You know biden. The leader still but his lead is dwindling in arizona says so much. Its still happening as the pandemic has caused all of these mail in ballots to be counted in the days after the election and tonight we still do not have a winner. Yeah a nailbiter should we expect anything less 2020 and as we wait for those votes to roll into the number of states that trump and Cain Campaign is certainly is a. As grant intimate it is on the offensive. Now our coffers Jonathan Karl joins us in the studio. The uphill legal battle, the yeah, know what the president of filing lawsuits today in the 3 states. Those are michigan. A pennsylvania as well as georgia also asking for recount in the state of wisconsin. Joe biden closing the gap on the president in those still undecided states as we mentioned today the president following those lawsuits to stop the ballot counts from continuing. Claiming a number of irregularities. 2 lawyers i talked with today who have plenty of experience dealing with elections. So the president right now is grasping at straws and right now does not have enough legal standing to try and stop the count. The race for the white house know on a potential path to the courts. What hes trying to do is discredit the whole process even as million votes are being counted wednesday the Trump Campaign filed lawsuits in pennsylvania, georgia and michigan. Over claims that its observers havent been given enough access to areas where ballots are being counted crop has turned hes doing right now is trying to find some basis to get in court and sue jim sudden isnt elections lawyer here in San Francisco. He says the Trump Campaign is trying to find anything that will stick in courtroom. But with no claims of widespread fraud Voter Suppression or concerns brought up before tuesday night. Sun says right now theres not enough its that if you find pena that theyre all the signatures that on the house about the registration cards dont match and theyre all being thrown out. Yes, some hawk. Yeah can get or sudden says the president s move could be part of a strategy to contest the results of the elections. Once its certified. The Trump Campaign is also requesting a recount in wisconsin, a state the president lost on wednesday. But jack young says it will be an uphill battle what we facing in 2020. Is possibly in certain states close elections. But none were close enough where recount is the liable. Young knows that all too well thats because he was a lawyer involved in the bush v gore lawsuit that decided the 2000 president ial election. He says in that race the Electoral College was tied and less than 600 votes separated the winner. Young says the president is facing a different set of circumstances this time. One that the courts may not be able to help him to some. That this election. Well go on. When in fact close. You know closeness doesnt mean something is wrong. You see a sings professor rory little says its doubtful that any challenges from the Trump Campaign. Well actually make it to the Supreme Court. Thats because each state has its own different election laws and says that the state Supreme Court justices would then have to find a constitutional violation in order for it to proceed. Jonathan mccall kron 4 news. Appreciated jonathan well. Where joe biden is continuing to monitor the Election Results is his hometown of wilmington delaware, and thats where we find our washington correspondent alexandra le mon tonight. She is live for alexander what what is the biden team, you know keeping an eye on in particular right now. Hey there good evening. Wolf things here in wilmington are pretty quiet now. The biden team along with the rest of the country was keeping an eye on several things number one. This situation thats been developing in arizona where votes to continue to be counted even though a couple of news outlets have called that race in favor of joe the counting is ongoing and a large crowd of pro Trump Supporters showed up at the Main Election Office outside in Maricopa County thats the phoenix area and things got sort of so rowdy and dicey that Maricopa County sheriffs had to show up and shut down that polling location now its interesting that it went down this way because actually the Trump Campaign feels that the votes that remain to be counted may actually benefit and help President Trump catch up in that state, but again they had to shut down the counting because things got so rowdy with the pro Trump Supporters who showed up there then in nevada we were potentially expecting a big vote dump from the 2 largest counties there thats what they had said would happen they had to come back and say actually were not going to have those ready until tomorrow they have given our teams in nevada an update and they say that each county will start updating tomorrow at 09 00am pacific time and that will happen one county at a at a time so we should have some big possibly a final count count from nevada in the morning and then also georgia, you know they had said they might have some results to report tonight and then also came back and said actually thats not going to be the case. So it seems we kind of might be getting too. You know wrap things up for the night may not be getting any more results tonight. Alex we heard from joe biden earlier today he was touting the fact that he in Kamala Harris is from the bay area got more votes than any other team in president ial election history. But here we are. 24 hours after election night. And you have a country kind of anxiously waiting to see what happens. And biden harris led trump and pence by almost 3 and a half million votes in the popular vote has the biden team said anything about that. Well yeah he definitely touted those numbers and he said that while hes not ready to declare victory yet he also said that he does believe that once all of the votes are he believes he will win the presidency he expressed a lot of optimism still even in places like the state of pennsylvania which are just did the votes there are pretty close i think surprisingly close considering you know how much time and effort joe biden dedicated to campaigning in the state of pennsylvania. I believe thats the state where he spent the most time. I dont think he thought that it was going to be you know that tie in that close in the state of pennsylvania but where things stand tonight at least as of right now. It may be the case that he does not even need the state of pennsylvania to win just depending on how things play out again in georgia nevada arizona law to wait and see what happens in the morning. I know were winding down here but a quick question that we have heard from the Vice President is he planning is there anything scheduled for tomorrow. They havent given a specific time for an event or anything like that, but i can tell you that this secure perimeter here at the chase center was actually supposed to be closed down tonight and theyve told us that they are going to keep the secure perimeter up for at least one more day so i guess thats an indication that we can likely expect to hear from joe biden tomorrow. Well if he picks off nevada or georgia or somehow pennsylvania gets announced tomorrow then there would be reason to celebrate their so how long you know how long youre staying in wilmington alex have the buses told you. As far as myself i think that i will be heading out tomorrow but we do have weve had 3 crews here. Throughout the past few days so we will keep at least one more crew here so if there is you know any kind of event or celebration if we reach a final result and anything happens here at the chase center. We will still be providing updates all right, thank you for that alexandra le mon are reporting a live for us tonight from wilmington. The home Joe Biden Joe biden safe travels see a sleep in well tonight. Thanks. Protests tonight in las vegas. Biden supporters calling on every vote to be counted. Then Trump Supporters worried that the election will be stolen right now, nevada is the only Western State that has not announced the results of the president ial election and it could be days really until it does. Anna joins us live from vegas with where things stand right now with the ballot counts or go. We want to get some numbers out of your state so far no dice. Well grant and vicki in nevada is a state that could be the deciding role and figure out who is our next president the nevada secretary of States Office wanting to release more results today because there is so much interest in the numbers here now we did not get new results tonight. And final results could be days away. All eyes are on a vet at the states 6 electoral votes gaining increasing importance in the race to 2. 70 between President Donald Trump and former Vice President joe biden a 1000 votes separate the 2 candidates, but hundreds of thousands of votes have not been counted yet so the big question whats taking so long right now were just waiting on the remaining. Mail ballots. Deputy secretary of state for elections, queen thorley saying theres a longer timeline for county mail ballots based on the vet along those ballots can be counted up to a week after the election. As long as theyre postmarked by election day. So there are ballots in the mail stream that are still working their way through. We will end up counting voters can also cure the signature on their ballot until the end of next week we are working feverishly to get all of that. Counted nevadas most populous county clark county home to las vegas planning to release new results daily starting thursday registrar of voters, joe gloria announcing all early and all election day votes have been counted and theres more than just mail ballots left to go provisional ballots. Electronic ballots that were sent to overseas voters, electronic ballots that were process for disabled voters and also some special ballots for new residents floria says his office is able to process up to 70,000 ballot today, but its hard to say how many ballots are left to count nevada voters were sent a mail ballot state officials urging nevadans to let the process play out to be patient. The all the ballots are going to be counted today. Theyre not all be counted tomorrow. Now nevada secretary of States Office says it will be announcing an official election result daily starting at 09 00am tomorrow back to you. Any sense or go, i you know what the mood is do they giving any indication which way this is going. You know weve been trying to get those answers from both the secretary of States Office and our county registrar of voters. Voters they keep saying that we just have to wait until tomorrow. Every their plan giving us an update so as of right now we still dont know the numbers we have right now in nevada are the same that theyve been for almost 24 hours now. And correct me if im wrong or go. But. Theres about an 8,000 vote lead for joe biden and if they have no idea how many ballots are still in the mail as we speak theres no way we can really have a winner for several days is that the way you see it. Kind of yeah, i 1000 vote is not a huge a huge number of the lead that biden had here in nevada it kind of drone went little bit. Throughout the night last night. Right now the 8,000 vote is about just over half a percent. But we do know that a lot of the that were waiting to cower here in clark county which leans pretty democratic and mail in votes, lean pretty democratic as well. So things look pretty good for the biden team, but again we just need those official numbers you are in the gambling mecca. So you if youre a gambling man what do they want what are the odds makers say. Again the experts that we have here are saying you know right now things are leading biden as im sure you know the National Polls have been showing and you know the a p is saying you know leading air leaning, nevada. But things are very very close here and things could change and so we just have to wait for both clark county and the state to release those numbers right now kraft man of ups sorry to put you on the spot there. Your 6 Electoral College votes be the. Finishing deal that the biden needs as they stand to 64 so all eyes are on nevada orca appreciate your time tonight. Thanks for candidates.
