RESULTS 2020

From voting machines to poll workers, President Donald Trump is claiming all types of voter fraud, but the president’s claims aren’t credible, according to election experts. [TRENDING: Eta floods Florida | Romaine calm: Florida man arrested after lettuce tirade | DeSantis accused of wanting herd immunity]In the fight for the White House, Trump is still fanning the flames of alleged voter fraud -- with no evidence, according to Clark. “We still cannot come up with a single case where someone could prove voter fraud." Twitter flagged the tweet, posting “this claim about election fraud is disputed.”It’s been disputed by both states. “While in earlier elections poll watchers were able to just stand over the shoulder of the workers,” Clark said.

Still, any fragment of possibility is enough for some Trump supporters to reject reality, feel aggrieved and rebuff Biden's calls for unity. Several Trump supporters interviewed by The Associated Press in recent days were rankled by widespread celebrations of Biden's win in liberal cities. They saw hypocrisy in the public, outdoor gatherings after Democrats condemned Trump supporters for attending big rallies — some were held indoors — during the coronavirus pandemic. Piotrowski, like many Trump supporters, wants to see Trump’s legal challenges continue. Unlike many Trump supporters, Michelle Sassouni wasn't shocked by the outcome of the election or the aftermath.

ORLANDO, Fla. – President Donald Trump, his lawyers and some of his allies have repeatedly claimed widespread voter fraud illegally tilted last week’s election in favor of former Vice President Joe Biden. “I don’t know how he votes because his vote is secret,” said Giuliani, who had not filed a lawsuit alleging voter fraud by late Monday. “It doesn’t mean there is anything illegal about this.”Should Trump’s lawyers eventually present proof of voter fraud, Clark believes judges will be reluctant to intervene. “(Trump) would have to find 120,000 votes of fraud, or a mistake, or whatever in four or five states,” Clark said. But when it comes to accusations of widespread voter fraud, News 6 gives the claim “Be Careful” on the Trust Index since, at the time of this publication, no attorney has formally made such claims in a lawsuit.

Election officials in states across the country are releasing vote totals for the presidential election, some question the ballots being counted after Election Day.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Once the votes are tallied and the races have been called, yard signs touting candidates will undoubtedly be plucked from the ground but they don’t need to be tossed in the trash. The city of Orlando and the city of Winter Park’s Sustainability Program are bother partnering with the League of Women Voters of Orange County’s Natural Resources Committee to offer residents an alternative way to dispose of their election signs so they can be recycled and not end up in a landfill. 100% of the Enviro Fuelcubes currently being manufactured by NuCycle are used by a large cement manufacturer to generate electricity, replacing coal as a cleaner energy source,” city officials said in a news release. Kay Hudson, the Natural Resources Committee Chair for The League of Women Voters of Orange County, said she’s made it her mission to collect as many signs as possible so they can be recycled. She added Wednesday was a busy day with many residents dropping off their signs, but she’s still hoping to get the word out as soon as possible before people start to dispose of them.

Here’s a look at the facts:CLAIM: Votes were eliminated in Arizona because people were made to use Sharpie pens to mark their ballots. Arizona election officials confirmed that Sharpies were used in voting, but they said that would not invalidate a ballot. She is seeking a court order that all Maricopa County voters whose ballots were rejected as a result of using a Sharpie be given a chance to fix their ballots. Aguilera also is asking for such voters to be able to be present while election officials count their ballots. After a review of suggestions that Sharpie pens invalidate ballots, it’s been determined that the claims are not true.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida’s minimum wage is about to go up, after voters approved Amendment 2, which outlines a plan for the state’s minimum wage to reach $15 per hour by 2026. Here’s what the minimum wage increase would look like each year, according to Ballotpedia. $10 on Sept. 30, 2021$11 on Sept. 30, 2022$12 on Sept. 30, 2023$13 on Sept. 30, 2024$14 on Sept. 30, 2025$15 on Sept. 30, 2026Beginning on Sept. 30, 2027, the state’s plan would be to have an annual adjustment to the state minimum wage based on increases to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The five-year study began at the request of the city of Seattle after it voted to raise minimum wage in 2014. Florida Amendment 5 was approved and provided for a $6.15 per hour minimum wage set to increase each year based on changes in the CPI-W or inflation.

ORLANDO, Fla. – President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, are in a tight battle for the White House. Nevada, which has six electoral votes, is among the states Democrat Hillary Clinton won in 2016 that hasn’t yet been called. President Donald Trump, however, has prematurely declared that he has carried the states. 3:06 a.m.Democrat Joe Biden has won at least three of Maine’s four electoral votes in his bid to unseat President Donald Trump. In the race to 270 electoral votes, Biden has 236, while Trump has 213.

See All Battleground Race ResultsIt was unclear when or how quickly a winner could be determined. A late burst of votes in Michigan and Wisconsin gave Biden a small lead in those states, but it was still too early to call the race. But the margins were exceedingly tight, with the candidates trading wins in battleground states across the country. Trump picked up Florida, the largest of the swing states, while Biden flipped Arizona, a state that has reliably voted Republican in recent elections. Both campaigns had teams of lawyers at the ready to move into battleground states if there were legal challenges.

Polls closed Tuesday night and yet on Wednesday, hours later, neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden had the 270 electoral votes needed to secure a win in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Election Day is over, so what’s the holdup? Vote tabulations routinely continue beyond Election Day, and states largely set the rules for when the count has to end. This embed is meant to serve only as a preview of what outcomes America could in the U.S. presidential election. As much as it pains me to write this, it’s possible this presidential election could end in a 269-269 Electoral College tie.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – “Perhaps 2020 was the year that we finally vanquished the ghosts of Bush vs. Gore,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said while addressing the Sunshine State Wednesday, one day after President Donald Trump declared victory in Florida in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. “People are actually looking at Florida and asking the question, ‘Why can’t the states be more like Florida? I also think the fact that he has really helped us with a lot of Florida issues, I think, helped him,” DeSantis said. I don’t think that was done without some type of motive -- whether it’s ratings, whether it’s something else,” DeSantis said.

In fact, Clark told News 6 anchor Justin Warmoth on “The Weekly” that Florida could decide the presidential election. After President Barack Obama won Florida in 2008 and 2012, President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by 1.2% in 2016. While he lost Seminole County, Trump did especially well in Miami-Dade County this year. In the 2016 general election, Trump received 333,999 votes and Hillary Clinton received 624,146 votes. Use the interactive map below to find out how each Florida county voted in the 2020 presidential election.

”There will be no red states and blue states when we win. Trump’s campaign requested a recount, though statewide recounts in Wisconsin have historically changed the vote tally by only a few hundred votes. After the victories in Wisconsin and Michigan, he was just six Electoral College votes away from the presidency. Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said the president would formally request a Wisconsin recount, citing “irregularities" in several counties. The Trump campaign on Wednesday pushed Republican donors to dig deeper into their pockets to help finance legal challenges.

And the closer the margin in a state is, the more votes are needed for The Associated Press to declare a winner. There are also roughly 20 states that allow ballots received after Election Day to be counted if they were postmarked by the day of the election. Some states, including Florida, began counting absentee ballots days before Election Day — and had definitive results within hours of the polls closing. And they will prevail.”Vote tabulations routinely continue beyond Election Day, and states largely set the rules for when the count has to end. ___Eds: Story has been updated to correct that 2000 Supreme Court decision came more than a month after Election Day, not more than two months

Miranda said in looking at the numbers prior to Election Day, from early voting alone this election, 1.4 million Latinos have voted.
