After the voting is over, the first eyes will be on the scoreboards of Georgia and North Carolina, where the results are expected first. Pennsylvania’s results are also expected soon in this series. A big reason behind this is also hidden in geography and clock time.
The months-long presidential campaign in America came to an end on the night of November 4. Now, the wait is for the voting, starting at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, which will decide which face will be in the White House for the next four years. In the last round, the one state on which both candidates were seen focusing was Pennsylvania.
On the last day of campaigning, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump addressed big rallies in Pittsburgh. Kamala Harris spent almost the last day of campaigning in Pennsylvania. For the past several weeks, both the giants of the US election were putting all their efforts into gathering 93 electoral college votes of seven states for themselves. In this too, Pennsylvania has the maximum weight of 19 electoral college votes. Both camps were seen exerting their strength for the remaining 74 votes divided between Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, and Nevada.
Meanwhile, 7.91 crore votes have already been cast in America. In states like Arizona, the work of sorting out the votes cast before the date of voting has also started. States like Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have traditionally been considered to have slow counting of votes.
After the voting is over, the first eyes will be on the scoreboard of Georgia and North Carolina, from where the results are expected first. Also, the results of Pennsylvania are expected to come soon in this series. A big reason behind this is also hidden in geography and the time of the clock. Most of the states considered important in the electoral arena are in the eastern part of America. So, the election will end earlier here and the vote counting will also start early.
The current mathematics of the American election counting is decided by the traditional strength of the parties in the states. In such a situation, the stronghold states of the Democratic Party give Kamala Harris 226 electoral colleges in this race. Former President Trump has 219 votes. In such a situation, Kamala Harris needs 44 votes to enter the White House. Trump needs 51 votes to become President again.
The tough electoral contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris can be gauged from the data of the national poll, which shows a difference of 1% between the two on the last day. According to the poll data, Trump is at 48% and Kamala Harris is at 49%.
Amid the political tug-of-war going on to garner votes during the election, there is a fear that this election may move from the polling booths to the courts. America has a history of court appeals challenging election results. About two decades ago, the result of the close contest between Al Gore and George Bush Jr. was not clear for several days and finally, the decision came from the court.
