And also for schools, much more has to be done so that students can continue going to school because for them online learning is much more difficult. So, in general, it was okay but during the Covid-19 I think they forgot a bit about the young people.I am very concerned about climate protection. That is a big issue that needs to be solved ”.

President Donald Trump's campaign and Republican officials have filed nearly two dozen lawsuits since Election Day. It's an attempt to contest the results of the 2020 election. But according to Business Insider, none of the lawsuits so far have ended in victory. The campaign filed lawsuits and motions to intervene in cases in swing states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. They've notched zero victories, 19 cases where they've withdrawn or lost. Three cases remain pending. The Trump campaign had one win in Pennsylvania, where a judge ruled an issue over voter ID. verification. However, the state Supreme Court later overturned it.
Despite all the brouhaha surrounding the 2020 US presidential election, not everyone--believe it or not--plans to vote. According to Business Insider, Americans who have chosen not to vote fall into six general categories. The first has to do with accessing the polling place: lacking time, transportation, child care, or problems with getting registered to vote. The second group could be named the 'Why bothers?' These people feel their votes don't count, the election is rigged, or their state has a lock on the opposing party. The third group can't vote because they're not allowed to. Perhaps they are felons, or are not US citizens, or owe outstanding fines. The fourth group won't vote because they dislike both candidates. The fifth group just doesn't feel like voting, and the sixth group cited religious or other reasons.
