Kosovos president resigns following an indictment for war crimes at the hague. And the u. K. Gets a new multibillion dollar rescue package to boost its economy has included and has enough of them across. All americans are waking up to another day of uncertainty over who will be the next president it is now 9 am in the u. S. State of georgia and youre watching these live pictures from there where vote counting has been going through the night it remains an extremely close race and the traditional republican state and Donald Trumps initially there has been steadily falling georgia is one of several states where republicans are filing legal challenges already over this election lets take a step back and have a look at the state of play biden has already fit michigan and wisconsin that donald trump merrily won 4 years ago the democratic candidate now has a projected total by the Associated Press of 264 Electoral College votes while trump is projected to win 214 remember the magic number is 270 to win the presidency now here in yellow you can see the states that are still being counted nevada in the west georgia down there in the south North Carolina and of course all important pennsylvania. Well the Associated Press is already projecting a win for biden in arizona but this is being disputed by the Trump Campaign we are following a. P. Calls here at Al Jazeera English well bidens lead over trump has been narrowing in recent how is this battleground state is worth a crucial 11 Electoral College votes well as i mentioned vote counting is still ongoing in georgia trump leads there by about 18000 votes thats not very much but what might help joe biden is that most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs which lean democratic we are expecting more data in the coming hours and well be bringing that to you live here were also still waiting on pennsylvania now its a state where joe biden was born trumps lead here is again shrinking and the remaining male ballots are mostly from the democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh giving biden a pretty good chance to catch up pennsylvania is also another state with trump has filed a lawsuit and there is no vada where biden remains narrowly in the lead the Western State has 6 electoral votes doesnt sound like much but that would be enough to get him to that magic number 270 but our teams are still in place across the United States alan fisher is monitoring developments from the capital washington d. C. Jamal high al is in bidens home state of delaware and kristen salumi is at Pennsylvania Convention center but 1st how do you go again wraps up development so far former Vice President joe biden projecting confidence he will be the next president and he may have taken a step closer you sosia to press declaring hes won the state of wisconsin and michigan giving him more Electoral College votes easier path to that you somebody there will get him to the white house and now after a long night of county its clear that we win you know states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency and right here weve won. But i am here to report when the count is finished we believe we will be the winners but us President Donald Trump is demanding a recount in wisconsin after falling short by around 20000 votes even his most ardent supporters doubt that will change anything former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker tweeting out a recount and 2016 trumps numbers went up by 131 and the counting continues in the states that will decide the election with state officials asking for patience give the Public Servants the opportunity to do their job and what i will tell you is that karen pennsylvania were going to follow the law and we will respect the will of the people and the crop her victory will be certified based on who got more votes the president is suing to stop the counting in some states his surrogates saying falsely that the election is being stolen to win for a republican to win here how many votes we have to be at 400000 is not enough with 80 plus percent counted i think theres only 14 percent of the vote to go if you think were stupid you think were false the president is complaining on twitter theyre finding biden votes all over the place in pennsylvania wisconsin and michigan so bad for country to be clear theyre not finding ballots but counting ones that come in on time according to state laws. And there is a question about whether the Postal Service run by a trump loyalist interfered in getting ballots delivered on time define a federal judges order tuesday to do a sweep for ballots they refused potentially leaving hundreds of thousands not counted the one thing this election has clearly shown america is a nation divided it really does seem like people live in 2 different realities given like the news they consume and who they surround themselves with so i i am not bad surprise that a lot of people decided to vote again for a president who has brought us to where we are with several cases winding their way through the courts as the votes are counted and america and the world waits to see who eked out a win in this fractured country. Aljazeera. Well allan fashion joins us now live from washington d. C. Alan all of these razor thin margins plenty of litigation and on the way. I mean the legal action zoe in pennsylvania and michigan were going to look a recurring in wisconsin which will happen sometime in the next 13 days will certainly after the Trump Campaign officially demands that they said they were going to do that immediately what is interesting as well as the Time Campaign just in the last half hour is announcing that theyre going to hold what they describe as a major News Conference in Las Vegas Nevada that will be an about 90 minutes time you know probably 1130. 00 time so 2 and a half hours from now. Just to point out that the Time Campaign highs in the last couple of days and now its major News Conferences theyve come theyve made statements which i havent been verified in some cases and then they have to be taken questions the whole idea behind the legal action of course was built up by donald trump in the weeks running up to the election when he said that if the election was lost by him it would be because of fraud and he would go to the Supreme Court he would go to the courts to try and make sure that the courts gave him back his presidency and we know that he pushed through the Supreme Court justice nomination for him which was confront just about 10 days ago to make sure that the Supreme Court had the 63 majority the other reason why you keep pushing the idea of taking this to the course is that if youre talking about court action youre talking then about electoral fraud and youre not talking about the possibility that joe biden can win but all the secretaries of state will tell you that they are conducting the elections and line with their local laws and they are not doing anything untoward and there are observers from both parties and also independent observers in the room at the time now its interesting as well that the Trump Campaign on one hand in arizona where theyre behind this saying youve got to count the votes youve got to count the votes meanwhile. Pennsylvania theyre saying youve got to stop counting the votes so if you take that argument to any judge theyre going to see hold on a 2nd whats going on here we dont understand what your argument is theres one other point id like to make dont trump for the week before the election said come november the 4th the media will no longer talk about covered it will disappear because it wont be an election issue yesterday that is where after the election there were more than 100000. 00 new cases reported in the United States that happens to be a record here in the u. S. So the media are still talking about this covert hasnt gone away but of course everyone at the moment that attention is all on d the legal actions the currents and the fact that joe biden is this close to becoming the 46. 00 president of the United StatesJoe Biden Donald trump also has a path to 270. 00 but its much clearer for his opponent at the moment from watching his council very very tightly for you hear it out there and less alan fischer there for us in washington d. C. Thank you allen and that speech tomorrow he is in bidens home state of delaware he joins us now from wilmington jamal game 5 and can has been urging patience and respect for the process despite the fact hes now won the largest amount of votes in history. Indeed i mean they sound very confident that they are going to eventually be announced as the winners of this very tightly fiercely contested election but as you said biden himself calling on people to be patient to respect the process and also loading preys on all those Civil Servants some people have been working to count the votes just in the past hour or so theres been a statement that came out from the organization for security and cooperation in europe they always see its an International Body which monitors elections around the world not usually and as reporters reported on elections in many countries around the world we hear statements from them in lets say less established democracies around the world theyve actually come from they are observers here and in the statement theyve hold President Trumps claims of voting irregularities as quote baseless and they say that his comments harmed public trust in Democratic Institutions and that is something which maybe not many people would have expected to hear you know from an election observing a buddy you know timing in on us election but there you have it and that shows really what a lot of people have been feeling particularly the biden side of the divide with regards to tromp statements they feel that prior to the elections his policies eroded american democracies during the elections and now post while were looking at the counts his comments are costing dollars on the democratic process here couple that with the accusations of Voter Suppression thats the Republican Party have been accused of coming up to the elections where theyve. Ensured that in states they governed there were less ballots polling stations for people to go to where were talking about the electoral register and names being not there no. Of these things this is something which the biden camp has been using throughout their campaign to say that they are here to protect americas democracy and now theyre using that same message to say that what needs to happen now is to protect this process to respect it and ultimately once its complete joe biden will be announced as the president they believe the other message thats been coming very quickly is one of trying to maybe bridge that divide were not quite sure how likely or how biden intends to do that but he has at least admits its true or it cannot this huge polarized nation that exists the divide that exists and what work needs to be done to try and patch the nation which is really really. Kind of the division has come to the forefront through this election and just to reiterate the and both men still have a pathway to victory there for us thanks so much tomorrow well as weve been saying pennsylvania as one of those critical battleground states which could decide this election has come off santa maria with more massive. Pennsylvania is famously joe bidens native state you probably heard him mention scranton pennsylvania more than a few times but it is important for anyone who wants to win the white house pennsylvania has 20 Electoral College votes on offer and the pollsters believe the keystone state could in fact hold the key in deciding who wins this time around but if history for you here we go back 299246 straight president ial elections it has backed the democrats bill clinton and barack obama who won twice john kerry and al gore who didnt but pennsylvania still became part of the socalled democratic blue wall but like so many things all of that changed in 2016 pennsylvania flipped red and he just when donald trump beat Hillary Clinton by less than one percent now were going to bring up the 26 electoral map to see who did well where and youve got the democrats down in the southeast they did well the other cities in the suburbs the republicans who won in mostly rural areas did pick up some urban centers and then the 3 counties which weve colored in orange who switched from barack obama in 2 elections to donald trump in 2016 a quick look at some demographics for you and more than 80 percent of pennsylvanias voting population is white blue collar voters who have long been the democrats base noncollege educated voters who favor donald trump also 10 percent of eligible voters are black and hispanics a little over 5 percent so it will probably come down to do is urban voters in pennsylvania and whether biden can hold on to them and then woo some back from donald trump to decide who gets 20 vital Electoral College votes and that is why pennsylvania matters. Pennsylvania incredibly important so lets speak to kristen salumi who joins us now from the Pennsylvania Convention center in philadelphia kristen we know the counting is continuing that can you give us a sense of where things stand right now how soon could we see results. Well President Trumps lead is getting smaller and smaller as the vote counting is continuing hes now ahead by under 165000 votes with more than 760000 votes left to count so joe biden is still very much in striking distance of a win here in pennsylvania especially considering that a lot of those remaining mail in ballots are here in philadelphia a very democratic leaning urban center of the state at this rate the ballots could be mostly counted by the end of the day and well have a good idea of where things stand but remember the state is continuing to accept ballots that they received by mail right up until friday. Right up until friday its not likely that this is a large amount of ballots and they still have to be postmarked by election day but this is one of the areas where President Trump is challenging pennsylvania and saying that that should not be the case hes asked the Supreme Court to intervene in disallow those ballots again not likely to be a small percentage of votes but something if this is a close race that could make a serious difference and there are other legal challenges going on here as well including 2 mail in ballots that certain counties have allowed people to fix for example if theyre mailed in without a proper signature. The person the voter could come in and add that signature and fix it thats something that republicans are contesting here as well so lots of legal challenges still going on some uncertainty and protests expected today as well weve seen both sides rallying the troops for trump for biden to come calling for people to come out here and make their voices heard that way i will be watching all of that very very Kristensen Amy there for us on the ground and philadelphia pennsylvania thanks christine.
