The US election is full of last-minute excitement. For the second time, Republican candidate Donald Trump or Democratic candidate Kamala Harris will occupy the White House as the first female president in the country's history. That answer will be available in a few hours.
In the meantime, more than 8 crores votes have been cast in the early voting period that began on October 27 in the country. Out of the 50 states, 43 are established as Democrat blue or Republican red states. The victory or defeat of these states is pretty much certain. As a result, the main factor in the election has emerged in 7 swing states.
These states are - Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona and Pennsylvania. The two US candidates have campaigned non-stop in these states.
According to analysts, when the final results of this year's US election will be known depends on how close the competition between the two candidates was.
In the United States, there is a possibility of victory or defeat for both parties in the 'swing states'. If the results of those states are not final, we may have to wait to know the final results of the election. If the vote difference in these states is very small, the announcement of the results may be delayed a bit. However, if a candidate is ahead by a large margin in these states, then it will be possible to know the final results of the election quickly.
However, analysts said that among the swing states, Pennsylvania will determine who will get the keys to the White House. One of the reasons for this is that it is a large state. It has 19 electoral colleges. In general, almost everyone is saying that the party that wins the electoral votes in this state will win. However, it is worth mentioning that in both the 2016 and 2020 elections, Pennsylvania's Electoral College support was in favor of Donald Trump.
It is worth noting that the number of eligible voters in America is more than 23 crores. The number of registered voters in this election is about 16 crores. The voter turnout in the last 2020 election was 66 percent, which was the highest in the last century. About 10 crores votes were cast in advance that time.
