Uncertainty Over Trump’s Required 270 State Electoral College Victory Votes

 

Uncertainty over Donald Trump’s re-election in the United States of America 2020 presidential contest heightens

OpenLife reports that Trump’s 270 state Electoral College votes to win on Tuesday’s is uncertain
This uncertainty over Trump’s re-election bid derives from available statistics.

Results of polls have shown that Democrat Joe Biden holds a national lead over President Donald Trump in the 2020 United States presidential election.

Campaign activities will stop and voters will have their say on Tuesday in the country.
A survey had Biden up 7.2 percentage points on Sunday, November 1.
Curiously, Biden’s national lead over the Republican president has been relatively steady in recent months.

Specifically, Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona remain a toss-up but some media organizations have put Biden ahead Trump in battlegrounds.

The democratic candidate was ahead 51 percent to 43 percent in a poll taken October 27 to 29.

However, closer observers say Trump’s chances are not dimmed. The Republican candidate is still close to Biden in enough state battlegrounds to give him the 270 state Electoral College votes needed to win a second term.

On the Republican website, polls show Trump leading in only two battleground states.
The United States of America’s election is decided by the Electoral College made up of 538 persons.

Technically, only 538 ‘electors’ will vote for Biden and Trump in the presidential election at the Electoral College.
A unique aspect of the United States election is that media networks are the platforms that announce election results and declare winners of elections.

The Federal Election Commission, FEC, is not involved in votes counting and the announcement of winners. Winners are announced by the networks such as CNN, Fox News and AP, among others.

Meanwhile, the uncertainty over Trump’s victory may have informed the Republican candidate to have threatened legal challenges to prevent ballots from being counted after election day.
