The Democratic Party candidate, Joe Biden, needs six more
electoral votes to win the 2020 US presidential election, even as incumbent
Donald Trump had demanded a stop to vote counting, the Daily Mail reports.
Trump has launched a lawsuit in Nevada, a city which could
hand Biden the victory.
The Nevada lawsuit is similar to legal action the Trump
campaign is launching in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia as Biden
approaches the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.
In Wisconsin, a state called for Biden, the campaign has
requested a recount.
Trump has spent the past few days inside the White House,
consulting his advisers about the race.
If state officials stop counting now and the election were
called on the current tallies, Biden would be declared winner.
Trump needs to make up vote gaps in Arizona and Nevada in
order to win the election, which ironically means he needs officials there to
keep counting the ballots.
The Associated Press has awarded Biden 264 electoral votes
and Nevada’s six electoral votes would put him exactly at 270, handing him the
presidency.
Nevada, where Biden leads by less than 8,000 votes, is
expected to release another tranche of votes later Thursday. Georgia and
Pennsylvania are also expected to release additional vote counts today.
