The U.S. presidential election begins on 5 November 2024, and each state is counting votes one after another. According to the Associated Press, the results of 41 states have been released. Trump won 247 electoral votes, temporarily leading Harris's 210 electoral votes.
The U.S. presidential election uses the Electoral College indirect election system instead of popular suffrage. That is, the Electoral College of each state is based on the results of the popular vote, except for some electoral votes in the two states of Nebraska and Maine. It is allocated according to "congressional districts". In theory, other states adopt a "winner-take-all" system, that is, the candidate who wins the popular vote wins all the electoral votes in the state. There are a total of 538 electoral votes in the U.S. presidential election, so any presidential candidate receiving 270 votes represents a majority.
Maine has 2 districts, 2 senators and 2 representatives, so there are 4 electoral votes. The presidential candidate who wins the popular vote in Maine gets 2 votes; the remaining 2 votes are divided among the state's House of Representatives districts (District 1 and District 2). Nebraska has 5 electoral votes. The presidential candidate who wins the state's popular vote can get 2 votes first; the remaining 3 votes are divided among the three House of Representatives districts in the state.
In this U.S. presidential election, there are seven states that are basically classified as swing states, namely Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona. Swing states adopt the "winner-take-all" system of the Electoral College, making swing states a key area for candidates to campaign.
The United States spans six time zones from the Atlantic coast to Hawaii. Regulations vary among states and regions. Election officials must also deal with disputed votes. In addition, although mail-in ballots are delivered early, ballots for US military personnel and expatriates stationed abroad usually arrive one after another. It will take time to verify. Arizona and other states will require voters whose ballot signatures do not match to submit proof within 5 days, so it may take several days to finally confirm the results.
