The closely fought presidential race in the United States entered a new phase Wednesday as officials counted a record number of votes from 170 million Americans. Tuesday was Election Day. The campaign of Republican President Donald Trump said it has begun legal actions to halt ballot counting in the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. The campaign argues that it was blocked from “meaningful access” to vote counting sites in some states. The Trump campaign also said it would request a recount in the state of Wisconsin. The Associated Press, Voice of America, and several other news organizations have called Biden the winner of Wisconsin and Michigan. He is also ahead in the vote count in Nevada and Arizona. Trump is leading in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alaska. In 2016, Trump won the presidency over Hillary Clinton with victories in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.
