The republican county claiming the county has been fortunate. And the delay to announcing the president raises Big Questions about the vote itself especially melancholy amid all right now we hear from commentators on the key issues. Sort of says they want to stop the killing over so if you want to continue tell me its a joke every night after night after night except when i watch the big board our system is the word we also see that in the United States constitution voting is never mentioned at all. Welcome Top International this friday welcome to our coverage of the u. S. Election but counting in key states continues. The contest for the white house could be over in the coming hours with Democrat Joe Biden looking more and more likely to be declared the winner in increasing his vote margins in key states however a recount has been announced in the state of georgia leaving america on tenterhooks and. And is focused on a handful of states now we all still waiting for crucial results in nevada and pennsylvania to whether democrats hold a slender lead while as it stands this is how it looks joe biden has 264 electors if you include arizona which some say is too early to cool but if you assume hes won it he has 6 electoral votes short of the 270 required for victory donald trump on the other hand currently stands to 14 but thats it remains a very tight race gaps have been closed in Different Ground states overnight in pennsylvania and a father to the former Vice President is leading by less than one percent and in ga ga biden has taken the lead by just over a 1000 votes with 99 percent of the ballots counted as mentioned the margins is so tight that a recount will take place incidentally a democrat hasnt won that state in decades meanwhile the race and North Carolina is too close to cool yet lets go live now to our correspondent caleb maupin in new york this is what we seem to be hairy with too early to cool the margins so far it is just you know hunt a couple of 100 a couple of 1000 whats the situation in these pedestal states then well the votes are still being counted in arizona in georgia in pennsylvania and in nevada but in all of those states there is a narrow lead for joe biden leading many in the democratic camp to speak very optimistically this is nancy pelosi i wish we werent Wearing Masks so we could see how exciting it is to come before you today with joe biden having the tremendous mandate that he has and that. Pretty soon the hyphen will be gone from Vice President to president elect joe biden now at this point georgia is already planning to do a recount because of concerns raised by the trump camp meanwhile officials in nevada are saying that they expect to deliver results on sunday now we heard donald trump who took to National Television and the white house podium to raise the concern of fraud and these concerns are being echoed by other republicans and by trumps supporters the latest we have from trump is quote we believe the American People deserve to have full transparency into all vote counting and election certification and this is no longer about any single issue this is about the integrity of our election process from the beginning we have said that all legal ballots must be counted and all illegal ballots should not be counted and yet we have met resistance to this basic principle by democrats at every turn we will pursue this through every aspect of the law guaranteeing that the American People have confidence in government i will never give up fighting for you and our nation thats donald trump a statement that was appearing on social media and these sentiments that there will be efforts to overturn these Election Results in court have been echoed by other republicans this is the Republican National committee we intend to ensure that every little fool votes and has their vote counted in a cool dence with the law that observe is a granted the access they achieve on the state law and then any irregularities that have occurred with the by malicious intent or incompetence fully investigates its to the fullest extent allowed to under the law. Now the mayor of philadelphia has said that the allegations against his city and the vote counting process in philadelphia and in pennsylvania are completely groundless furthermore at this point though the biden camp has not yet declared victory and theyre already starting to use some spicy language in regards to president trumps statements and threats not to leave office the American People will decide this election and the United States government is specifically capable of school bus passes outs of the white house now at this point were waiting to hear from joe biden he is expected to address the country this evening and we are expecting at some point to get results nevada says results will come on sunday georgia is going to conduct the recount but at this point biden is ahead in the 4 key states where voting vote counting continues and everything looks pretty favorable for joe biden but the trampers are not satisfied the trump camp says that they believe there was massive fraud they will be taking this to court so it looks like we still dont have official Election Results and when such results come in they will probably be contested that was caleb maupin bringing us up to speed on the much anticipated results coming in from those key swing states in the u. S. Many thanks. While were looking now at life photos in fact this is the scene in washington d. C. This friday you can see protest as hopes may be fading for donald trump but that isnt stopping his supporters has tunning out there calling for the vote counting to be done legally and. The demonstrations have been peaceful and are taking place and a number of. The rao over results being potentially waked started even before election day with both parties are stressing the boat out meikle if you count the legal votes i easily win if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. The election from us in america voters sacred. Its how people of this nation express their will. It is the will of the voters no one not anything else but chooses the president of United States for merck this tremendous litigation going on and this is a case where theyre trying to steal an election theyre trying to rig an election each ballot must be counted. And thats what were going to see going through now and thats how it should be our goal is to defend the integrity of the election and will not allow the corruption to steal such an important election or any election for that matter its a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they arent. R. T. Senior correspondent our guides to discuss the tension around the country with mickey aaron. Big us really does pride itself on its democratic system this front now appear to have glitches with everything thats going on i would say at this point more of a spectacle i mean the elections in the United States the there are always something of a shoe for the entire nation but this year in particular they seem to have outdone themselves democracy sometimes messy sometimes requires a little patience as world but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years in the system of government governance in the envy of the world while the envy of the world perhaps in days long gone if youre in the United States you just a citizen wanting to exercise your constitutional right to vote while you show up at the polling station and theyll turn you right around and tell you to go and register 1st except you have to register 2 to 4 weeks in advance depending on the state you know different procedures everywhere and to register you have a say you have to have a special id card which not everyone has so far ok you will well prepared you did it you you went and registered next youve youve got to get time off work either that because in the United States whereas in europe vote it is always inside everyones free everyone who vote in the United States sunday is a jewish holiday and they would make it a National Holiday voting day so you have to go to wednesday for example now theres a pandemic it is dangerous it is literally dangerous to good sound and huge lines of people with the very little social distancing suit you will you vote as democrats have been urging their supporters to do you mail your vote and its lost 150000 votes have been confirmed sue far lost in. Election and theyre still counting the this potentially tens and tens of thousands more even election as clues as this where every vote matters theyve lost so many already Democrat Officials never believed they could win this election honestly i really believe that thats why they did the mail in ballots with this tremendous corruption and fraud going on thats why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited ballots they refused to include any requirement to verify signatures i get is or even determine whether theyre eligible or if it was a vote of it is a nation divided more now than it has been in living memory the level of polarize ation and division Political Division in the United States is is tearing the country apart and it isnt doing anyone any favors everybody understands what is happening in america but there is very little you know that nobodys willing to go to take the extra step to understand the other side everybody wants things done their way and and this is being repeated across the country protest violence Political Violence to level to get beaten stabbed because of the color of the had to to work with a slogan a new t. Shirt and this is this is being seen worldwide liberties envious of these in europe theyre saying look we we simply cant afford in content out europe to become as divided and as polarized as the United States the polarization of america should be a warning for europe we are successful because we preach differences between countries and peoples so we benefit together if we lose the ability to compromise our democracies are in danger. Whats happening in america does not quite correspond to the democratic culture we know from the United States its important the result is the accepted by everyone is easy to be a winner but sometimes it is hoped to be a loser at the end of the day the how close this election is how close the vote is well that both candidates a lot of leeway both are claiming that they are on the path to victory that their winning bird will be contested lawsuits of fire being fired off like fire crackers but trump especially the this election will be interim self said that you know this is a lonely and in the Supreme Court. More despite the warning of he collection several election commissions in america have insisted that every file it was counted and accurately reported International Observers of all says that the ballots proceeded normally they have slammed Donald Trumps allegations of fraud saying it damages public trust in democratic institutions. Human rights no eric throughout can believes the president will fight tooth and nail to stay in the oval office. I think its there are advantages and disadvantages to a extended legal. Battle if you will i think that yes if the matter is not resolved by Inauguration Day that seems to be to create a constitutional crisis in the United States however if the Supreme Court is quite aware of when an operational day they set their briefing schedules they will eventually irrigates that will. And will issue the appropriate orders but donald trump is fighting for his life he knows hes going to be prosecuted criminally when hes released from the presidency and if not he wants to stay on this is very personal to him however the Supreme Court can hear the matter and here in a quick way i wouldnt be surprised if they want to throw that kind of curveball into it and make everyone has to hold their feet rather than be plugged into the drama into january but i suspect that the matter removed much quicker and i believe that it will have the president elect. While the count has been particularly complicated in this contest senate stright up many contentious issues to america discuss just some of them. I. Look at what the prison is doing legally the places theyre trying to intercede and serve and so if they want to stop the county other states want to continue tell me to get a concrete standard for that and as well as after shelby reed holder in 2014 who had alluded Voting Rights we need to end the ministries records of who the president is authorized to make things that the 5 Border Guards at the have National Standards only legends we cover republicans are fighting against that since they like these and that what i was saying that metastasized into this years election now i dont know what about that why dont we have one uniform federal law that says when youre voting for president maybe put it on a separate take it im not sure how this will work but why dont we have one federal law for that the question is what youre asking is a great question theres a better question to which i think transcends that why is it in the year 2020 when we can map of the genome we still have this archaic system which i think speaks to something which is which makes it right and right if for any kind of shenanigans we know so much about how the votes can be stolen we had terrible days of cold actors and literacy tests and our system of voting is the worst let me also say that in the United States constitution voting is never mentioned at all theres hardly anything new selectors and that sort of thing they never got around to it so the question we have to ask is how is that right now that we see that we have something as archaic and as stupid as it. Seems i think is really its gotten him if this is not the donald trump that were used to this is not the same fire and brimstone have bob how did you take it down to what degree. It will say it was embarrassing it was the sad final chapter to a set chapter in American History thats something youll hear. On an internet war were looking its a choice you want broken to beat him cards that almost everything you said in that speech was a lot older stand up for a little moment you find yourself getting angry a bit at the end had broken down old man who realized. For every hole call understanding that there is no pair or. Would you want joe biden to drive you home from the airport let me just talk about something right now when you put all this is side this is this says either something about is good or bad when we have a man but im not even sure knows where he is and he is most probably what we see is correct going to be sworn in as the president and i for the project since since we are predicting he will serve my term shorter than William Henry harrison of 31. 00 days when kamel harris will be removed immediately something will happen joel will maybe perhaps that aneurism god forbid something will pop up maybe coded maybe 8 maybe senescence but he will be moved because if you think of anybody thinks that joe biden is going to be if he is the he is the intended get it and you think that well my friends happy birthday cause you were born yesterday robert can you respond to that do you think that there is a likely ive heard from a lot of people on both sides who they all seem to believe that biden will not serve his entire 1st term and i hear from democrats who say that the time with me are from republicans who say it would be a scandal but ive heard very few people disagree with that idea do you disagree with the. Course or disagree with that idea or still buy tickets or rather this term i think its important that he does because he the throwback to the era politics where we were not governing in a 51 to 49 country we were we have bipartisan agreement we did big thing to big big projects of the major we put people on the moon one cold war weve liberated. Western civilization thats what america used to do we work to call or you are. This is a sham the fix is in the fix hes been in from the beginning all these states so you know just going around the voter and changing the voting rules claiming that its because of coded setting up the scenario where you think they cant finish counting the votes in georgia or North Carolina or whatever theyre just theyre just waiting theyre coordinating with the biden people and theyre just waiting to see how theyre going to do this we all know its a joke every night after night after that i sit there and i watch the big boards you know whether its on c. N. N. Or wherever it is and guess why the numbers more votes have come in in this state more votes have come in in that state and guess what biden picked up folks trumps lead is evaporating what a surprise this is really a travesty what you guys say is the actual role of the press in these elections i mean arent we supposed to be the observers of the process because these days it does seem like the media wields so much power that it could actually steer perception steer the publics and ultimately steer the election itself then. Yeah absolutely you know were supposed to be in the media the observer the impartial observer were not supposed to be influenced or in this case weve moved even past that to become the decider in fact that were in the arena is full combatants this is something almost unique to the presidency i mean the uncomfortable position of being a never trump or somebody who thinks the president should be defeated hopes to use defeated and ye
