Democratic challenger Joe Biden says it is clear he is winning enough states to take the US presidency, despite key results still outstanding and the projection figures appear to be supporting that.
"When the count is finished we believe we will be the winners," he said in a brief speech, just before projections showed him winning Michigan
The final result will come down to key, undeclared battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
Mr Trump is so far projected to win 23 states, including Texas, Ohio and Florida, having outperformed pollsters' predictions
Already, the president alleges fraud, without offering evidence, and says he will launch a Supreme Court challenge and the Trump campaign has launched legal bids to stop the counts in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and Michigan
Mr Biden's campaign calls President's Trump statement "outrageous", adding: "The counting will not stop"
The US is on course for its highest turnout in more than a century, and it's possible there might not have a confirmed result for days

Yes it is all over we have now 4-5 years of corrupt democratic neo liberal establishment sprinkled with a few insane progressive insanity politics with a lot more poverty and strife thrown in.

It's this type of rhetoric that has created such a divisive and toxic environment. Its quite funny though, because the ones who claim Trump is the reason for it are equally (probably more) as complicit.
People who oppose Trump, or even topics like Brexit, seem to come from a self-superiority stance. They always know best, they are always right. They look down on those who who disagree with them and weaponise certain words (racist, fascist etc.) until those words lose their very meaning. At the same time, they try to act as if they represent those very same people they look down upon and consider deplorables. They are very disingenuous.
On the topic of the election, it's still very tight and Trump could still flip it. Especially if he gets Arizone and Philly. Although, I expect there to be some legal disputes for some time.

Yes his delivery can sound awful (especially it is twisted out of context) but he doesn't hide away from it, which in it's own way is a form of sheer honesty.
Biden on the other hand has been hidden away for most of the campaign. On the occasions he does speak it is limited to making personal attacks against Trump and catch all phrases like "I'll unite America" etc.but no actual substance.
He doesn't appear to be mentally fit for the most important job in the world. I can't believe he will last long in the job and therefore Kamala Harris will take over soon. I for one don't think that is a very good prospect at all.
As for the fraud? I have no idea whether electoral fraud has happened but taking the UK as an example it has happened many times. There have been incidents of tampering with postal votes in Birmingham a few years ago and also with students registering to vote both at their University towns/cities and their home towns/cities so it does happen.
I have heard that Trump is claiming fraud without evidence. I would say there could be some peripheral evidence i.e. states which have been Republican switching despite an increase in votes for Trump, there is some evidence emerging that in some counties more votes were cast than than the number of people eligible to vote there and frankly I wouldn't put Biden above anything crooked when he is a very rich man despite working all his life as a career politician.
The truth is there can only be 'substantial evidence' if someone looks for it. That will only happen if there is a proper independent investigation which is not subject to political interference.

I worked at the last GE as a poll clerk. Our system is also shocking.
Someone turns up to vote. They don’t even need a polling card to vote. They tell me their name and address. That’s it. No ID required.
Easy to swindle.
