The counting of the votes in the USA continues and it is close: In Pennsylvania, Trump is only about 20,000 ahead of Biden — 163,000 votes are still open. Two men from Virginia plan to use gun violence to stop such a count. Philadelphia police arrested two men with guns in their vehicle near the Convention Center, where US presidential votes are being counted. The authorities initially did not comment on the background. The local broadcaster WPVI reported that the police had received a tip that an attack on the convention center could have been planned. TV pictures showed how one of the men was being led away. In Philadelphia, gun carrying rules are a little stricter than the rest of Pennsylvania — a permit is required. The broadcaster Fox News reported that the Federal Police FBI had taken over the investigation. The day before, armed people were already in the state of Arizona at a demonstration by Trump supporters in front of a building for the vote count. Carrying guns openly is permitted in Arizona.
In Pennsylvania, the race between US President Donald Trump and his challenger Joe Biden is extremely close. With 20 voters, the state is one of the most important in the country. An initially large lead by Trump shrank in the course of the count to a few ten thousand votes. Trump considers the count to be “fraud” without being able to provide any evidence for it. His team has filed lawsuits in several states, including Pennsylvania. There is still no result in other key states either, so the winner of Tuesday’s election was still not certain on Friday.
