The Clark County Registrar has announced the next batch of ballots in the heated 2020 presidential race will be announced on Friday at noon, marking yet another delay in declaring a victor in this highly anticipated election. This news follows a recent announcement that the Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit against the state of Nevada for reportedly counting over 10,000 ballots that were cast by non-state residents. It remains to be seen whether the lawsuit holds any weight. The New York Times aggregate polling data shows Biden and Trump locked in a dead heat with Biden leading with roughly a percentage point. Currently, 89% of ballots have been counted in Nevada. For President Trump, winning Nevada will be a crucial step to keeping the White House as results for Michigan and Wisconsin show Biden to be the de-facto winner. That said, team Trump has filed lawsuits in both states and has already requested a recount in Wisconsin, which also happened in 2016 and resulted in Trump's margin increasing when it was all said and done. Another critical state in play is Arizona, which also has delayed reporting final ballot counts which have been to the chagrin of both Republican and Democrat voters. Overall, the 2020 election has been fraught with questions of illegitimacy and has further sowed doubt in the minds of the American people, many feel that the election process is fraudulent and not representative of the people's vote. None of these claims have been substantiated, however. The only real fact that is apparent is how close this race truly turned out to be. Indeed, the election results thus far have flown in the face of every major poll with the exception of the Trafalgar Group. ---------------------------------------- Have a story you want USA Herald to cover?
