The vote by mail, as expected, gave the definitive and decisive turning point to American elections. The democratic candidate, Joe Biden, is one step away from reaching the quota of 270 great voters necessary to set foot in Oval Office of the White House. And it would do it with the record of votes never obtained from an American president, since at the moment he has obtained 71.5 million, well beyond the record of Barack Obama which in 2008 received 69.5 million preferences. After a departure that saw him soon give way to the successes of the incumbent president, Donald Trump, the race of the two candidates had stabilized on what had appeared to all to be head to head in the last vote, in the last state. But at the moment, the votes by post are changing the cards. Conquer yourself Michigan e Wisconsin, for a total loot of 26 electors, now to the former vice president of the administration Obama there are only 16 points left to become president. Those who can give him Arizona e Nevada, not yet assigned but where it enjoys a rather reassuring advantage. Without forgetting that theearly vote it also allowed him to catch up in Georgia e Pennsylvania, two states that were now given up for lost.
La (trumpiana) Fox News attributes to the Dem already 264 big voters because as early as yesterday morning he gave Biden the winner in Arizona, A state that “is worth” 11 points, sparking the ire of the outgoing president. Eyes on Georgia where the counting is still in progress and we are head to head with 90 thousand cards still not counted.
Pending the final result, it is confirmed that the battle was at the last vote. There was neither thered wave announced by the Republican candidate nor the blue wall hoped for by the Democrats. The former deputy of Barack Obama succeeded in the comeback thanks to ballots of the vote by mail, to which millions of Americans, never more than this year, have resorted to cause Covid. Trump immediately went on the counterattack, speaking of “Card dumps” and announcing appeals to the Supreme Court. While his supporters staged protests outside the counting centers from Detroit a New York e Phoenix.

7:49 – Republican majority in Senate at risk
The Republican majority in the Senate is at risk in light of the data coming from Georgia, where a ballot could be used for both seats up for grabs. What is worrying above all is the seat occupied by the Republican David Perdue, outgoing candidate, who with 3% of the votes still to be scrutinized, reduced his consent to 50.07%. Falling below 50% would force Perdue to run as it will in the other seat of the state where the Democrat Raphael Warnock obtained 32.6% against 26.11% of outgoing senator Kelly Loeffler. In the event of a double defeat, the possibility of a tie could be envisaged, which would put the Republicans in serious difficulty, especially in the event of Biden presidency: in fact, the leadership of the Senate is formally entrusted to the vice president with the right to vote in the event of a tie.
