To stop the counting overseas they want to continue to tell me its a joke every night after night if they get a secure and i watch the big board our system moves what is the worst but we also say that in the United States constitution voting is never mentioned at all. Watching archie internationals u. S. President ial election coverage my name is donald quarter and ill be joining you for the program certainly a nail biter as vote counting has resumed in key states to decide the u. S. President ial election. Now the contest for the white house could be over in just the coming hours with Democrat Joe Biden looking more and more likely to be declared the winner increasing his vote margins in key states however a recount has been announced in the state of georgia leaving americans hanging on the edge of their seats attention is focused on a handful of states and were still waiting for crucial results in nevada and pennsylvania too where democrats hold a tight lead. As it stands this is how it looks joe biden has 264. 00 electoral votes if you include arizona which some do say its too early to call but if you assume he won biden needs only 6 more electoral votes to achieve the 270 required for victory donald trump on the other hand currently stands at 214 with that said it remains a very tight race gaps closed in different battleground states on saturday the former Vice President is leading in nevada and is less than one percent ahead in pennsylvania in georgia biden has taken the lead by 0 point one percent with 99 percent of the ballots counted as i mentioned the margins are so tight there that a recount is already set to happen a democrat hasnt won that state in decades while in North Carolina the race is also too close to call live now to our new york correspondent caleb mop and caleb weve been hearing fine margins in these pivotal states left to declare whats the latest. Well the vote count is continuing in arizona in georgia in pennsylvania as well as in nevada and in all of those States Joe Biden has a narrow lead were hearing a lot of optimism from the biden camp that 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 donald trump does not seem to approve to these sentiments among democrats he has been raising concerns about fraud we heard from him thursday evening he made a presentation to the u. S. Public laying out the case that he thinks there is fraud going on this is the latest from twitter. Joe biden should not wrongfully claim the office of president i could make that claim also Legal Proceedings are just now beginning i had such a big lead in all of these states late into Election Night only to see the leads miraculously disappear as the days went by perhaps these leads will return as our Legal Proceedings move forward now at this point were hearing a similar calls from Trump Supporters they are raising concerns about the way the votes were counted in michigan and in pennsylvania theres even a member of the state house of representatives in michigan thats calling for an investigation into michigan in the manner of the votes were counted in michigan weve got concerns about philadelphia pennsylvania etc and its clear theres going to be a legal challenge to the election result this is what we heard from the Republican National committee we intend to ensure that every little fool votes and has their vote counted in accordance with the law that observers are granted the access they a jew on the state law and that any irregularities that have occurred with the by malicious intent or incompetence fully investigated to the fullest extent allowed under the law now the biden camp is not yet declaring victory but they seem quite optimistic and theyve already started to use some rather spicy language referring to Donald Trumps fraud allegations and threats that donald trump may not leave office as friendly as some would like take a listen to what the biden camp has said the American People will decide this election and the United States government is specifically capable of scorching trespassers out of the white house. Now the election was on tuesday today is friday but we still have no clear result it is not clear who will be the president of the United States for the next 4 years its pretty clear that when results are officially declared that result is going to be contested so a lot of frustration across the United StatesMany Americans deeply deeply frustrated with the electoral system as its not clear who won r. T. Internationals new york correspondent caleb maupin thank you very much for those election updates. Now we spoke to republican election lawyer terry campo and he explained what could happen if the vote counts are contested there always is some fraud and a usually happens in the major cities and its usually where theres one Political Party control of her political machine and people have quotas to meet about how many votes theyre supposed to produce to keep their jobs in local government or their contracts and so thats kind of what happens it becomes very difficult once those ballots are in the box to to invalidate them and so whats what poll watchers are for and why we try to have poll watchers everywhere to prevent those improper ballots from being counted the problem this year is so many ballots being cast by mail were done in private without any witnesses there is always when these recounts that happen there will be challenges about what Legal Standard was applied to how to count those votes and those issues probably will be taken up by the Supreme Court 2000 president ial election 20 years ago bush versus gore that took 37 days from the date of the election for the Supreme Court to reach the decision and thats very well may be happening again. This is the scene in washington d. C. Where and demonstrators are taking a stand next to the white house theyre calling for the vote counting to be done legally and fairly other peaceful dam and demonstrations in support of both candidates are also taking place in a number of cities the battle over whether or not the results are being rigged started even before the election day with both parties stressing the vote had to be legal if you count the legal votes i easily win if you count the illegal of a this 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 that chooses the president of United States of america 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 d such an important election or any election for that matter is a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they arent. Senior correspondent morag as do you have discussed the tension around the country with nikki aaron. The u. S. Really does pride itself on its democratic system does for 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 is world but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years in the system of government governance the envy of the world well 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 what 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 it is always and sunday ever would 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 do and stand in 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 this election and theyre still counting there this potentially tens and tens of thousands more in an election as clues as this. Every vote matters theyve lost so many already Democrat Officials never believe 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 it is or even determine whether theyre eligible or it was a vote 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 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 down their way and and this is being repeated across the country protests violence Political Violence to level to get beaten stabbed because of the color of the had that youre wearing the slogan a new t. Shirt and this is this is being seen worldwide this new bodies envious of these in europe theyre saying look 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 that the results is the accepted by everyone its 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 theyre on the path to victory that theyre winning but will be contested lawsuits of being fired off like firecrackers but by trump especially the this election will be condensed interim self said that you know this saloon and in the Supreme Court. Despite the warning of legal action several election commissions in america have insisted that every valid vote was counted and accurate accurately reported International Observers have also said the ballot proceeded lawfully theyve slammed Donald Trumps allegations of fraud saying it damages public trust in Democratic Institutions human rights lawyer eric cirrhotic and 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 operation a 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 hes 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 have to hold their breath and be plugged into the drama into january i suspect that the matter will move much quicker and i believe that it will have the president elect. Now this count has been particularly complicated in the current contest and its thrown up many contentious issues Marty America discussed some of them. 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 a diluted Voting Rights we need to end the ministries records of who the president is be authorized to make things that the 5 Border Guards at the have National Standards on lurch and we cut 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 this 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 poll taxes and literacy tests and our system of voting is the worst but we 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 will the sad final chapter 2 will set chapter in American History that something you want here. On an internet war ready. Its a choice youre going to beat him cards and it almost everything you said in that speech was a lot its all those little moments you find yourself getting angry a bit of the. Understanding but theres no pair. 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 to this as 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 further predict since since were 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 in 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. Of course i disagree with that idea or still by the term i think its important that he does because hes the throwback to the era oh thanks but we were not governing 51 to 49 countries we were we have bipartisan agreement we did the big thing to big big projects of that nature we put people on the moon 31 cold war 2 weve liberated oh there were western civilization thats what america used to do and we worked across party lines. This is a sham the fix is in to 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 except when 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
