President Trump Wants to Reverse Loss in the State of Wisconsin

President Donald Trump makes another attempt to reverse his loss in the US presidential election. He took legal action against Wisconsin state authorities. The state had confirmed the day before that Trump's rival Biden had won the majority there. As a result, Biden's national victory has become even stronger. Regional media are talking about a last-ditch effort to reclaim a state. In Wisconsin, Trump lost about 20,700 votes. The Republican president filed a lawsuit against the governor, who is a party member of the Democrat Biden. Trump has made virtually no progress with lawsuits in other states that were decisive for Biden's election victory. Time is running out, American media emphasize. By law, the results of each state are fixed if not successfully challenged before Decem...

Germans in September to Vote for the New Government

Germans will go to the polls next year on September 26 to elect a new government, if it is up to Minister Horst Seehofer of the Interior. The only alternative is September 19, but the federal states and political parties opt for the 26th. It is President Frank Walter-Steinmeier who has to make the formal decision. Federal elections should not coincide with school holidays and should take place on a Sunday or national holiday, Seehofer said. With those limitations, only two dates remained. Germany is obliged to organize a new ballot box 46 to 48 months after the last Bundestag elections. The elections must reveal who will lead Germany until 2025. The current Chancellor Angela Merkel (66), head of government since 2005, is not going for a new term.

American Election Debate Less Popular Than in 2016

The first election debate between President Donald Trump and challenger Joe Biden, in which the two rivals scolded each other, attracted fewer viewers than the first game four years ago between presidential candidates Trump and Hillary Clinton. This is evident from the first preliminary viewing figures, reported by The Hollywood Reporter. An estimated 28.8 million people tuned in to the big four channels ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, less than the record number of 45.3 million viewers in 2016. Not all viewing figures have been received yet. Ultimately, at least 84.4 million people watched the debate four years ago, the most massive audience in the 60-year history of such single combat on American television. The Hollywood Reporter now expects a figure well below that record.

US Supreme Court: Election Men Must Support the Winning Candidate

US states are allowed to compel so-called electoral votes to vote for the presidential candidate who received the most votes in that state, the United States Supreme Court unanimously finds. With that ruling, the Supreme Court agrees with the states of Washington and Colorado. The President of the United States is not elected directly, but indirectly. Each state has a certain number of electoral votes. The Electoral College out of a total of 538 electoral votes eventually elects the President. The principle applies that the candidate who receives the most votes in a state will receive all the electors from that state. However, some electors in Washington and Colorado, contrary to that principle, refused to vote for Hillary Clinton, who won the 2016 presidential election in tho...
