The historic vote that confronted Donald Trump and Joe Biden came to an end on Tuesday. The votes have already started to be counted and you can follow the result here at the Electoral College, where the result is defined. To be elected, the candidate must win 270 of the 538 votes in the Electoral College. All results are, for now, based on projections from the main American media.
Americans go to the polls
What you need to know about the American election:
Trump wins in Indiana and Kentucky, Biden takes to Virginia
President Trump won the election in Indiana, according to projections by the mainstream media, and also in Kentucky and West Virginia. The three states are considered safe Republican strongholds: the first accounts for 11 votes at the Electoral College and the second for 8, while West Virginia gives 5 votes at the Electoral College.
Biden, meanwhile, also won victories in Democratic strongholds: Virginia, with 13 votes at the Electoral College, and Vermont, with 3 votes, according to projections from the American press.
Trump na Flórida
The New York Times model currently predicts Donald Trump a 95% more chance of winning in Florida. According to the director of the Washington branch of the LA Times, David Lauter, the main effect of this is that the result should take time.
“If Trump takes Florida – and now, it looks like he probably will because of the Miami-Dade vote – the main impact is that we won’t know the outcome of the election too soon. This is a state of mandatory victory for Trump, not for Biden, ”he wrote on a social network.
The state is one of the big prizes of the night, with 29 votes in the Electoral College.
Supreme Court’s Barroso reports polarization climate similar to Brazil
Guest observer of the elections in the United States, Minister Luís Roberto Barroso, of the Supreme Court, visited three polling stations in Maryland and another in the capital on Tuesday. In a post on a social network, Barroso claimed to have witnessed a “polarization climate” that he compared to Brazil.
Trump wins in South Carolina
The Associated Press also projects that Trump won in South Carolina, which has 9 delegates at the Electoral College. The state is also considered a safe republican stronghold, but it has a large number of black voters. The race for the Senate is also tight.
Biden wins in Massachusetts and Delaware
CNN projections point to Biden’s victory in historically democratic areas, such as Massachusetts, with 11 votes at the Electoral College. The Associated Press gives the Democrat victory also in Illinois, with 20 votes at Electoral College, Maryland, with 10 votes, New Jersey, with 14, Connecticut, with 7, Rhode Island, with 4, and in his state of residence, Delaware , which gives 3 votes.
Joe Biden also won in Washington DC, according to CNN projections. The American capital is considered the main democratic bastion in the United States and will add 3 delegates.
Trump takes southern states
Projections from the American press show that the Republican confirmed favoritism in Oklahoma, which has 7 votes in Electoral College, Mississippi, with 6, Alabama, with 9, and Tennessee, with 11, and Arkansas, with 6. He still took Kentucky , which gives the winner 8 votes in the Electoral College.
Latin vote in Florida
Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s campaign never expected to do as well in Miami-Dade County, Florida, as Hillary Clinton, who conquered the county by about 30 percentage points in 2016.
But Democrats certainly did not expect initial results, with Biden ahead of President Trump by just 9 percentage points, an incredibly narrow margin for a Democrat in the liberal county.
Miami-Dade is the most populous county in Florida, and the initial favorable outcome for Trump may be insurmountable for Biden, even if he does better in the rest of the state, as initial results suggest. The huge Republican participation in the county also drives two opponents in congressional districts 26 and 27, which passed to Democrats in 2016.
If he does take Florida, one of the most important states in this election, which has 29 votes at the Electoral College, Donald Trump will see his policy for Cuba and Venezuela rewarded.
QAnon Follower Elects in Georgia
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a fan of the QAnon conspiracy theory, was elected to a seat in the American House of Representatives. She was running in Georgia, in a strongly conservative district, and was already a favorite for election after defeating a Republican contender in the primaries in June.
QAnon is a conspiracy theory that believes, without any basis in reality, that Donald Trump fights a Satanist pedophile conspiracy. The group was identified as a terrorist threat by the FBI.
– Q is a patriot. He’s someone who loves his country very much, is on the same page as us and is very pro-Trump – she said in a 2017 YouTube video. – I am very excited that there is now a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lift this global conspiracy of Satan-worshiping pedophiles, and I think we have the president to do that.
Several conspiracy theorists are running for Congress this year.
