Ballot counting is underway in Detroit, in the battleground state of Michigan, as a bitterly divided America heads to the polls, amid the worst pandemic in a century and an economic crisis, to decide whether to give President Donald Trump four more years or send Democrat Joe Biden to the White House.

Atlanta (USA), Dec 2 (EFE / EPA) .- (camera: Erik Lesser) Georgia's secretary, Republican Brad Raffensperger, held a press conference on Wednesday to update the public on the vote count requested by the campaign of US President Donald Trump.
Georgia's Republican top election official Brad Raffensperger says he believes President Trump's attacks on mail voting suppressed his own base. In fact, Raffensperger says Trump's baseless claims that mail voting is untrustworthy and fraudulent cost him the state. According to Business Insider, 24,000 Republicans who voted by mail in the state's June 9 primary elections did not vote at all in the general election. While Trump outperformed the polls in many states, he lost the key battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, in addition to Georgia. What's more, an even higher number of Georgia Democrats who voted in the primaries stayed home for the general. Trump was the first Republican presidential nominee to lose Georgia since George H.W. Bush in 1992.
Ballot counting continues in Arizona's Maricopa County as the state remains uncalled, with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden holding on to a slim lead.
US President Donald Trump has been furiously and hysterically tweeting about various states' ballot-counting processes. He's argued that votes still being counted in vital battleground states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania should be dismissed. However, HuffPost reports he's been dished out the same condescending advice from the same young environmentalist he gave it to. Greta Thunberg tweeted that Trump should 'chill,' 'work on his Anger Management problem' and watch a 'good old fashioned movie with a friend. Trump originally used the 'anger management' line against Thunberg in December 2019 after the teen was named Time’s Person of the Year.
