The problem here is that if Biden wins just Nevada, he's automatically the new president!

While Trump needs to win about five to six states to be reelected

So Biden is already winning three states when he just needs ONE! Plus he's also narrowing Trump's votes in the other states....

So what's the need again? Biden just needs official announcement at this point cheesy
Honorable please off your mic lipsrsealed

I see Trump overtaking Biden. The Gaps has been narrowed in Arizona and same to happen in PA, Naledi.

I see Gods hands upon Trump. Our prayers are not in vain.

I urge all Trump supporters to have faith and watchout for a miracle.

Its already settled in Heaven.
If Biden wins, you have to renounce your Faith.
Agreed?

They might not stop it doesn't mean they won't end in court. I just listened to a video of republican claiming that there were illegal votes. So, they are already in court now. That legal votes stopped 3rd November.
Lol don't fall for their propaganda they are sowing doubt in the elections.They have no credible evidence

You are not understanding me. I didn't say they may win or lose. I said they are heading to court according to the video I listened to. So, I think it's left for court to decide or dismiss.

pls guys , when is the electoral college voting
Each start is the electoral college and they've all voted.
Each state has their own affixed points.
The highest is California 56 points or so, the lowest I know is Nevada 6 points and there could be others.
Biden winning California is the major thing in this election.
Had Trump won California, he won't be making a mockery of himself now.
The maximum points required to win the presidency is 270 points.
Biden only need 6 points and he will become the president of America as it stands now.
This is why I said Trump lost the election in California.
Trump is lucky to still be in this race considering the Mexican wall issue.
If Trump ever win this election which I very much doubt, he should go and say a big thank you to the people of Florida.
These people overlooked Trump's hate towards them and still voted Trump.
I hope you understand the electoral college now.

It take a Miracle from heaven for a Republican to win California.

I believe the last Republican to pull such a feat was Ronald Reagan.

It is almost Impossible for a Republican to flip California.

U.S Electoral System: What's Electoral College and How Does It Work? Who Are The Electors?

—Muhammed-Bello Buhari, 04-11-2020.

In other U.S. elections, candidates are elected directly by popular vote. But the president and vice president are not elected directly by citizens. Instead, they’re chosen by “electors” through a process called the Electoral College. To win the election, a candidate must receive a majority of electoral votes. In the event no candidate receives a majority, the House of Representatives chooses the president and the Senate chooses the vice president.

The process of using electors comes from the Constitution. It was a compromise between a popular vote by citizens and a vote in Congress.

Each state gets as many electors as it has members of Congress (House and Senate). Including Washington, D.C.’s three electors, there are currently 538 electors in all.

Each state’s political parties choose their own slate of potential electors.

Now, many will be asking that if the electors vote for President, why should U.S citizens vote in the general election?

During the general election their votes helps determine their State’s electors. When they vote for a Presidential candidate, they aren’t actually voting for President. They are telling their State which candidate they want their State to vote for at the meeting of electors. The States use these general election results (also known as the popular vote) to appoint their electors. The winning candidate’s State political party selects the individuals who will be electors.

So in essence, let's use Nigeria as an example:

For Kaduna State; 3 Senators and 15 Members of House of Representatives (i.e 18 federal lawmakers).
This means that, Kaduna State has a total of 18 electors.

And for Bayelsa; 3 Senators and 5 members of House of reps (i.e 8 Federal lawmakers).
This also means that Bayelsa state has a total of 8 Electors.

Now let's say during general elections;
Total votes cast in Kaduna State - APC (51%) and PDP (49%), this means that at the electoral college, the whole votes of the 18 electors will go to APC (simply because they have a simple majority of votes in Kaduna).

And for Bayelsa too, let's say APC won (19%) and PDP (81%). This also means that the whole of votes of the 8 electors goes to PDP.

In essence, the popular votes doesn't matter, the electoral college matters. And in the U.S, there is a total of 538 electors, a candidate needs a total of the 270 votes and above to win the elections.

I hope this piece is helpful to many who are confused about how the U.S system works.

The economic politics of America is still as alive as ever. The Oil and Agriculture industries tend to vote for Republicans while the IT and Entertainment industries vote for Democrats.

What of the financial and manufacturing industries? IMO, the financial industries tend to the dems while the manufacturing industries have no particular leaning.

The financial industry is in New York so you are on point that they vote Democrat. The manufacturing industry in America is almost extinct because they have outsourced that to China while they leave R & D in America. That's why Trump is very popular in those Midwest states were the carcasses of those dead manufacturing industry are found because of his message to bring them back from China, a promise he failed to deliver though. The covid 19 added to his woes and that's why he has lost in the Midwest except Ohio that has a lot of brainwashed evangelicals.
