In Georgia, the Democratic candidate advances and surpasses Trump in a traditionally Republican state, which has not chosen a Democratic president since 1992. Obama's former deputy continues to win support in Pennsylvania, greatly reducing the gap from his rival. The ballots in Arizona and Nevada are very slow. And while the world awaits the results, Covid is raging in the United States: an absolute record with 121 thousand infections in 24 hours
Counting proceeds slowly. Indeed, very slow. The world is still waiting for the results of the American presidential elections, but what emerges from the hour to the hour is that the ballot of the vote by mail continues to mark the surprise comeback of Joe Biden, who in the (Italian) night has more than halved the distance from Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. But it is in Georgia, a traditionally republican state, where the overtaking materialized.
The advantage is now a thousand votes with only 1% of the ballots to be scrutinized. A handful of votes that could mark a historic achievement in a state that hasn't chosen a Democratic president since 1992, when the candidate was Bill Clinton. The victory of Georgia's 16 voters would not, however, hand over the keys of the White House to Joe Biden, who would lack only one major voter to reach the fateful threshold of 270 (the majority over the total of 538). But analysts agree on one point: without Georgia, the tycoon's second term fades.
As long as the count continues, the game also remains open in Arizona and Nevada, where Obama's former deputy currently has the advantage. Eyes on Pennsylvania, which the Democratic electoral campaign is certain to win and where the disadvantage towards the Republican candidate has gone from 600,000 initial votes to 18,000 now. And with just 20 Pennsylvania voters, the game would be over for Biden. And won. For CNN it is no longer a question of whether he will win, but when: the votes that remain to be counted are in fact in Philadelphia County. So democrats.
Looking west, the polls continue very slowly in Nevada, where the result could only come over the weekend, while in Arizona Biden leads the electoral game with just over 46 thousand votes. An advance that Trump tries to stop by asking to stop the counting of the ballots and to invalidate those that arrived after Election Day.
All appeals already rejected in Georgia and Michigan while the Pennsylvania prosecutor reiterates that every vote will be counted - of those of course arrived within the legal deadline - and the president's campaign brings another lawsuit in Nevada for alleged irregularities. Meanwhile, the president returns on video after two days: it is one of the rare times in the 4 years of his mandate in which he does not speak off the cuff but reads, reiterating once again that the Democrats are trying to steal the elections, while he, counting the legal votes, he would easily win.
One fact is certain: for anyone who wins the electoral race, the emergency will once again be the pandemic, which is raging like never before in the country. There are 121,054 new cases of contagion recorded in the last 24 hours and exceed the record of 102,831 positives of the previous day.

11.18 - Overtaking by Biden of Georgia, but possible recount
The challenge in Georgia remains too early to call for the Associated Press, too poised to be attributed to a winner. In fact, thousands of votes still remain to be counted in many counties.
An AP analysis shows that the Democrat's edge has grown as the electoral count considered postal votes cast in support of him. Since the law of the State provides that with a margin of less than half a percentage point it is possible to proceed with the recount, it is possible that this happens.

7.00 - Trump's advantage is reduced in Pennsylvania
