At the decisive moment, the voting results of Nevada determine the direction of the US election. At present, however, the counting of votes in Nevada continues.

American media such as CBS reported that Biden took a weak lead by less than 8000 votes on Wednesday afternoon. But with so many votes still to be counted, it's too early to say who will win. Election officials in the state said they would release further results on Thursday morning, which would include postal ballots received on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The voter registration officer in Clark County, Southern Nevada, said he did not know how many votes had been received in the Las Vegas area but had not yet been counted. Las Vegas local media reported that overall, the state still has thousands of postal and temporary votes to be counted, most of which are likely to favor Democrats and Biden.

This year, trump has been to Nevada several times, but mainly overnight at his Las Vegas villa before going to other western states. Since his official nomination, he has campaigned twice in Nevada: one in September and one in October.

Biden made a series of visits to Nevada in February to fight for the party's nomination. After that, he returned to Nevada once in early October.

It is worth noting that President George W. Bush was the last Republican to win Nevada, winning just over 50% of the electoral votes in 2004.

Now, the United States and the world are staring at Nevada:

The election day of the 2020 US election presents a dramatic scene: Biden and trump did not become the final winners on that day, but both believed that they had a chance to win.

In the early hours of November 4, Biden arrived at the Democratic campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, to cheer up supporters who had been waiting all night. "We are satisfied with the current situation," he said. "I think we are going to win this election. With the unprecedented advance voting and mailing of votes, it will take some time to count. We have to be patient. "

In the vote count on November 3, trump won 23 states, including Florida, and led more than 60% of the pending states. If the lead is maintained, trump can win more than 270 electoral votes and be re elected. According to the constitution of the United States, the presidential election is decided by 538 electoral votes based on the results of primary elections in each state. Candidates with more than half of the votes can be elected.

However, early in the morning of November 4, Wisconsin and Michigan, two key swing states, suddenly turned. Biden, who had been lagging behind before, opposed trump, and the balance of victory also tilted to Biden.

According to the analysis of the New York Times, this year's general election is likely to lead both Republicans and Democrats into a period of chaos after the decisive process of the election on election day has been lengthened, no matter who is finally in the White House by trump and Biden.

The suspense of being stretched

From 7:00 p.m. on November 3, the results of state voting for the 2020 U.S. presidential election will gradually come out.

Before the election day, Florida and Biden were mailed with the election statistics. Biden held the lead in the mailing votes of the two "battleground states.". If Biden wins the "battleground state" with the largest number of voters, the former Biden victory predicted by the poll website will become a reality. A week before the election day, the election prediction model of five thirtyeight, an American pollster, predicted that Biden would win in 90% of the country's mainstream poll data.

With Biden leading the polls, Democratic supporters are optimistic about Biden's landslide victory on election day. But with the counting of votes, the story of the campaign is moving in the direction of a repeat of Hillary Clinton's "counter attack" by trump four years ago.

According to CNN, there are 15 "battleground states" with close poll data from Trump and Biden, with more than 200 electoral votes. These include most of the regions that were stuck in the 2016 presidential election, and the three swing states that trump won by less than 1% that year: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. Texas, the largest Republican vote holder in more than half a century, also appeared on the list of "battleground states".

From the beginning of this year to the election day of November 3, although Trump's overall support rate of the national poll is approaching that of Biden, it has not been able to realize the anti super trend. According to a Harvard University study, swing states with middle views may account for 10%, while Biden and trump have an average poll gap of less than 5% in most "battleground states.". This means that the outcome of each "battleground state" is uncertain, given the poll's error.

For Biden's supporters, after a brief cheer, they were faced with disappointment after disappointment. Not only did trump not lose Texas, but also "battleground states" such as Florida, Iowa and Ohio reappeared in 2016.

However, for Biden, the victory of Arizona and trump, which Hillary Clinton lost four years ago, this time in New Hampshire, which was committed to overturning, brought him 238 electoral votes into the second day of counting, and the decisive suspense between Biden and trump continued. In addition, as of 0:00 local time on November 4, Biden obtained 65.7 million general election tickets, 1.2% ahead of trump.

Wisconsin, Michigan and Biden's hometown of Pennsylvania are once again the key states to win, but in the first half of the vote count, trump also maintained the lead. The late start of vote counting by mail is the direct reason why the final result of the general election on election day is not clear.

Michigan did not pre count three million postal votes, and Secretary of state Benson said the count could last until Friday. In Pennsylvania, another key state, officials announced late November 3 that 2.5 million votes were not counted, close to a third of the state's total. In fact, seven counties in the state chose not to start counting postal ballots until November 4, and the latest postal ballots won't reach the tellers until November 6. Election officials in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania also said their state winners would not be announced on the evening of November 3.

A former member of the Harvard Republican Committee, who has participated in the Republican presidential campaign in many places, told China News Weekly that Biden and trump were in a bitter battle and did not actually realize the advantages of the polls, partly because of the lack of pertinence of his campaign strategy.

On the contrary, the trump campaign team relies on the precise positioning of big data, "it is a very scientific and technological grass-roots operation, focusing on specific counties and districts." When trump went to Pennsylvania on the eve of election day, he did not go to Philadelphia, which is densely populated but obviously belongs to the Democratic Party's basic plate, but to the old industrial base in the valley. Four years ago, trump won the blue state by a narrow margin of 0.72%.
