Pennsylvania is the same state where bidens campaign started and also where he was born stabs tearing up a dirt track. Where your dough thats where youre preventing the well we burn. If youre being. Asked. And it states of america as the candidates presented their closing arguments the number of americans who have voted prior to election day has set new records nearly 100000000 people have cast their ballots in early voting. Most polls show early mail in voting favors biden but trump believes his supporters are waiting until tuesday to cast in person votes but in the final hours of the campaign both candidates signaled they may not accept the results on election day sheeting can happen like youve never seen this is their dream and they are they are known for trouble even called a recent Supreme Court decision allowing an extension to count votes in pennsylvania as dangerous twitter flagged the tweet as potentially misleading with an immediate result on election day in doubt both candidates are preparing potential legal challenges to the results under no scenario while donald trump be declared a victory a victor on Election Night casting widespread uncertainty over poll results now appears to be a tactic employed by both campaigns you know weve already seen challenges to extended deadlines for allowing a mail in ballots that have been postmarked by election day but that arrive a few days later there have been challenges to adjustments in the law as American Voters are anxious hoarding food. And boarding up businesses from new york to Los Angeles Joe biden will be in pennsylvania on election day donald trump will be watching the returns come in from the white house were to add additional fences have been erected around the perimeter in anticipation of. Civil and rast can really help get aljazeera the white house. To small New Hampshire towns with the 1st 2 open devote says in a 60 year old tradition at the stroke of midnight local voters headed to their polling stations near the Canadian Border and the results are already in joe biden has won 5 votes in Dixville Notch while in the mills filled 20 kilometers in south President Trump won 16 votes to bidens 5 a way to go yet and now 2 candidates 2 contrasting visions for the future of america lets start with a coronavirus pandemic and donald trump promised to develop a vaccine by the end of this year but hes refused to collaborate on the global efforts biden has promised access to free testing and investment of 25000000000. 00 in vaccines to make it free for all and a nationwide mosque mandate trump says he will create 10000000. 00 new jobs in 10 months cut taxes for workers and increase manufacturing at home by even wants to spend 700000000000. 00 on American Products and research his proposals including raising taxes for wealthy americans and increasing the National Minimum wage trump has responded to nationwide anti racism protests more aggressively calling for the use of troops and military style equipment he is against defunding the police biden also does not want to defund the police but wants to spend more money on Community Policing trump has promised to continue to be tough on immigration by barring Health Care Free choice chin and welfare for undocumented migrants while biden says he will reverse trumps travel ban on 6 muslim majority nations including reuniting children separated from their families at the mexico border and increasing refugee admissions all right lets speak now to scott lucas whos a professor of american studies at the university of birmingham in the u. K. Joins us now from there as a scholar because they have the respective visions and as we stand in the polls biden is ahead significantly so can donald trump carve out a route to a 2nd term do you think. Oh its never over until its over but if this is a straight up election heres the key donald trump must win the state of pennsylvania thats because hes far behind in the other 2 key states he won 4 years ago michigan and wisconsin if you loses pennsylvania its all over for him joe biden cant afford to lose pennsylvania if he wins a state like florida or in North Carolina or in arizona which had been republican but its now shifting to being a mixtape so biden has several past a victory trump has only one but heres the kicker this may not be a straight up a lot action this is not a both sides issue theres only one candidate who says he may not accept the result of the election only one candidate who says he made it clear himself the victor on Election Night and then declare mail in ballots were fraudulent dont count them only one candidate who says he may take this to the Supreme Court thats donald trump and because pennsylvania doesnt completely count its ballots until friday if hes ahead in the other states that gives him a window to try to cut the selection short so what you say is especially with pennsylvania it could well be that we do not know the results on election day in fact that may not know for several days and indeed it could go on for weeks. Well most states count the ballots after a lot on including pennsylvania including a state like michigan which biden should win if biden is ahead in the initial counts in a florida georgia arizona hes likely to increase that lead so we could have a good idea within 24 hours after the polls close of a Biden Victory and even to go by the landslide if you want a state like texas but if those states i just mentioned are close no this could go on for several days and thats where the uncertainty which is being whipped up by trump and his camp starts to kick in we were saying in a report little bit earlier shops and offices and building premises being boarded up with concerns about violence on the streets are you worried that they could be difficult is as a result of how donald trump is proceeding with this election i have faith in americans i have faith in my friends and relatives and that the large majority of americans whichever candidate wins do not want that violence but yes im worried because donald trump only a few hours ago tweeted about by once in the streets if the Supreme Court decision if the state Court Decisions dont go his ways on the island balloting twitter flagged up that tweet as being irresponsible but there will be more from donald trump because lets be clear here this is a man who does not work within the system he tends to work outside it if you think thats the way hes going to succeed so yes i am concerned im wondering what happens to both parties if they lose fessed up but you know whats next for trump should he lose and how would the democrats react to losing to trump a 2nd time around. Well and the democrats i think will have a very serious inspection if they lose to trump and if they do not gain control of the senate where i think theyre slight favorites and i think that question will balance between what you might call centrist and progressive policies on Climate Change the Economy Health care youll see that more intensely the big question is not about trump on the other side but the Republican Party if they lose control of the senate if they lose the white house will they finally distance themselves from donald trump having effectively enabled him for 3 and a half years or will you see a trump ism in the Republican Party because its not just donald trump who wants to remain as president he wants his son donald jr to run for president eventually one day and he wants his ideas as ill conceived as they are and as divisive as they are to take over the Republican Party will the g. O. P. Finally stand up to the. You have a drum then as they say pennsylvania has numbers start coming in where do you think where else do you that we should look for clues as to how things are going is with what your results so the initial states that close their polls relatively early that we watch is the state of florida and your viewers will know hope that florida is legendary and your selection histories are close races and even disputed races think 2000 bush versus gore look at North Carolina on the east coast and look especially in georgia that state has not voted for a democrat for president since the 1990 s. But its in play there not only for the presidency but for 2 Key Senate Races those are the 1st 3 states that we watch we keep an eye on pennsylvania but later on in the night be watching carefully at texas and arizona if biden starts to when there were not just talking about a Democratic Victory but a possible democratic landslide its going to be a fascinating few impulsively days ahead as well scott lukas pretty that thanks very much thank you.

Jump into this train and join our Global Community by diversity is biosecurity is that essential for our species to survive be part of the debate i know the her mind is a leaky can be part of this conversation. When no topic is off the table the police are not neutral and all of these case goal here is to terrorize it gives the other part of this theres no consequence this dream on out is the. Were going to watch out during her mind of our top stories this hour and after months of campaigning donald trump and joe biden approach their campaign through a close pony buddhists open in just a few hours but the kind of its have against us that they may not accept the results.

Ivory coast president alison whats been declared winner of the president ial Election Electoral Commission said he secured 94 percent of the votes the opposition says it is ignoring the results and creating its own Transitional Government theyve been boycotting sundays elections say that president ouattara shouldnt have been allowed to stand for a 3rd term status on this big 2 across when the top and addresses live for us in the future and i went clearly a lot of division about this whats the mood was the sense that. Well for us and what our supporters they ikes tactic for the opposition its more like this is this is not what they wanted and they are going to resist it and for the rest of ivory coast tension theyve been in this mood for a very long time since the referendum in 2016 on the constitutional amendment that gave president Alassane Ouattara the chance to contest alongside it already biddy who by the way under the previous constitution was not allowed to contest because of its age and so the situation is a bit come this morning but with the call by the opposition for members or supporters to be out on the streets to celebrate what they call the formation of a Transitional Council as well as celebrate or put pressure on president Alassane Ouattara who they say his time of office expired on the day the election was conducted then there is concern that these things could be to arrange in the next few days or hours to come see the opposition parties talk about for me the national Transitional Council hows that going to be received. Well its going to be difficult for the government to sit down and watch it or for it to be challenged but that is what the opposition outlined and that is what the tend to pursue for the time being they appointed a president ial candidate former president hosni current b. D. s chairman of the Transitional Council and the council is charged with the responsibility of organizing fresh in the actions remember they rejected the elections held on saturday calling it a sham saying that less than 10 percent of the population participated in the election and that 90 percent of the in the trade rejected what it called sham election and therefore they will continue to push president ouattara to quit the state but what kind of busking in the glory of new victory of a 3rd will stand for them until probably when their recent invention in such an quarters like the International Community for rico solution requires the nation could be a government of National Unity 0 pressure on what to do to quit or to a seat to the demands of the opposition so basically its good its still a dicey reach situation in ivory coast the opposition use istead that what illegitimate whatever system it was given a mandate by mo
