Biden widens lead in electoral votes, pro-Trump rallies spark concerns of disorder
Multiple U.S. media projected Friday that Democrat Joe Biden has taken the traditionally Republican-leaning state of Georgia, solidifying his lead in the electoral votes. Meanwhile, supporters of U.S. president Donald Trump are planning to stage rallies here amid growing tensions.
According to U.S. media projection, Biden narrowly defeated Trump in Georgia, widening his Electoral College majority by 306 to 232, while Trump was projected to have picked 15 electoral votes from North Carolina.
Biden declared victory for the U.S. presidential race about a week ago, hours after he was projected to have won Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes and thus passed the required 270-vote threshold.
In response to the projected Biden victory, Trump said then “this election is far from over” and his campaign vowed to take legal actions against alleged voter fraud and ballot counting misconduct.
A Michigan state judge on Friday rejected an attempt by two pro-Trump poll challengers to block the certification of a Biden win in Detroit, which helped carry Biden’s victory in the midwestern state, said a CNN report, adding that the judge also rejected a request for an audit of the election.
In another development on Friday, lawyers for the Trump campaign dropped a lawsuit seeking a review of all ballots cast in Arizona on Election Day after finding that the margin of victory for the presidential contest in the state could not be overcome, said a U.S. media report.
Meanwhile, Trump supporters are planning to hold rallies over the election results here on Saturday, according to online organizers.
They are expected to meet with counterprotesters, sparking fears that the events could turn violent, according to local media, which noted that among the organizers are a number of far-right activists.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department said authorities will be monitoring the situation, noting that D.C. laws prohibit open carry near rallies and that “if anyone is found to be in violation of these laws, they would be subject to arrest.”
According to U.S. TV networks, over 74 million Americans casted their ballots for Biden, while over 70 million voted for Trump, an indication of a deep division in the country.

I am sure that U.S. President Biden will do a great job to try reunite Americans after Trump’s four year of madness whichbonly caused more hate, divisions, discord.
The US Military Has Raided And Seized GERMAN Servers Tied To Dominion Voter Fraud Computers. The US elections were rigged for Biden to win. The news media has been lying about Biden winning.
Trump – the on-going revelations of his “infamous” character, post his Presidency, will be mind boggling.
What this individual is not coping with, besides his disgraced loss of the Presidency, is the name Trump.
The “modus operandi” of Donald. J. Trump, from within the walls, the “sanctuary” of The White House, he was Factorially building a modern day empire.
The forlorn defeated individual that we are starting to see, his baseless rhetoric, the Trump Empire, that he saw all the “bells and whistles” it would contain and display, for generations to come, will be just a figment of his weird and ill based distorted and falsified imagination.
What will be barraged at Donald. J. Trump after he “infamously” leaves office on the 20th January 2021 – will amaze and astound America and the World.
Here in the USA, we seemed to have voted for democracy versus authoritarian rule by Trump and his family. I can assure readers they are are guilty of many crimes in office. Trump currently is asking his devotees to bankroll his campaign to thwart the legitimacy of our recent elections. This election was tightly monitored by both parties, including the counting of ballots, and claims of election fraud are inconsistent and false. Trump and his family are liars and cheats and the American people finally had to step up to vote them out since our Congress would not do their jobs and remove this failure from office. Americans look forward to making the tough decisions our country needs to make to get a handle on COVID-19, civil, social, and financial inequalities.
Thank-You – J. T. Taylor for your comment.
If you are deep rooted into and support Democracy – which has failings – but is still the best of a bad lot of other political party choices and their ideas and philosophies, the agenda of Trump, was blatant, in dismantling the “core” of Democracy.
Fragmentation – Separation – Social Divide and Division, what ever the factorial percentage is of Americans, a population of 331 million, who in their work place earn a minimal wage, and the dismantling of Obamacare, just opinions, of minuscule number and examples, of the individual, the wreckage, he has inflicted on America in (4) four years.
He has placed America in the position that it is a Humanitarian Disaster.
My belief, is that he should have to answer for – Crimes and Acts against Humanity.
Could there be a 21st century version of the famous 20th century Nuremberg Trials of 1946, which did center on – Crimes and Acts against Humanity ?
Trump – what will be barraged at him, come the 20th January 2021, when he, in disgrace, leaves office, as the “infamous” 45th elected President of The United States of America ?
It will amaze and astound and be mind boggling not just to America but to the World, which it is hoped the real winner is Democracy.
J. T. Taylor – to you and your Family, from Budapest, Hungary, like the World, we are muchly challenged by this novel coronavirus – please stay Safe & Well.
