ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The country has been waiting for 3 nerve-racking days for news of a definitive outcome in the 2020 presidential election. All that time, the nation’s fate has been cast, just not yet known, as local election offices scattered across a handful of states counted the remaining votes. Voters from both parties stayed up late and woke up early, praying, hoping, refreshing feeds and staring at maps on the TV that never seemed to change. At 8:50 am on Friday morning, the city of Philadelphia updated its vote tally, nudging Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, past President Trump in the state of Pennsylvania. The question on everyone’s mind for several interminable days immediately shifted: not “if,” but “when” the election would soon be over. As the tally methodically proceeded, the president falsely declared victory and raged about a conspiracy and one of his sons urged waging “total war” over the election. At the same time, his campaign’s lawyers filed a squall of lawsuits, and crowds of supporters took to the streets demanding that election officials stop counting — or keep counting — depending on where they were. News organizations were preparing on Friday for a possibly decisive call in the presidential race. But the urgency of the morning gave way to a hurry-up-and-wait mood as ballot counters in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania continued their work.
