Also in Kentucky, with eight electors, FoxNews foresees a profit for Trump. Voters in Virginia (thirteen electors) and Vermont (three electors) have voted in majority for Biden, according to American media.

In the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia, South Carolina and Vermont, the ballot box was over at 1 a.m. Dutch time. In Georgia, almost all polling stations were closed at the time, but in one county they have to stay open for two hours due to problems with voting machines, a judge has ordered.

The next states where polling stations close are Ohio and West Virginia. Then the very important states of Florida and Pennsylvania follow.

The so-called swing states are decisive for the result. This election is expected to mainly concern Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida, Georgia and Iowa.

But also the usually ‘red’ Texas is at stake. Trump has to win. Texas has 38 electoral votes and has actually always voted Republican in the near past. The last Democrat to win was Jimmy Carter in 1976. Since then, Texas has voted red every time. Obama couldn’t win, neither could Bill Clinton. You would say that this is a certainty for Trump, but in the polls it is by no means an abc. Trump does lead in the ‘poll of polls’ (48% against 46%), but the differences are too small to give the incumbent president a feeling of peace of mind.
